“I’m sure on occasion it’s Ahavas Yisrael that is their impetus, but knowing MANY chabad house directors I am also sure that it is often just a matter of finding a job – sometimes a hard job – that gives you kovod within your own circle and in a community of people who don’t know any different.”
Interesting point. Would you hold the same of the thousands of yidden learning in kollel (in USA and EY)?
They have strong societal pressure, and get (some sort of) paycheck from it?
How about the melamdim, ram”im, roshei yeshivos?
