Dear Rabbi,
I am very very very serious. Learning is not democratic. One has to learn according to their capabilities. We cannot afford the kollel for all mentality take over the Torah. If one does not have a chavrusa, or their chavrusa is not up to snuff, it is not an excuse. And for the record, with no system, there are far more limudim available. Even if they are not respected in our system. Of course we would still learn in a beis medrash. Just, those who know why they are there would be the majority. In the past, the world was less complicated. Rabbonim were able to work, minister to their kehillah, and learn what we now call a full day. Why does a disscussion about the value of learning Torah, always come back to finances?
