AAQ,
“you may also look at Ketubos 60 that discusses how children can be affected .. these are mostly food, but it starts with a mill – whether it is sounds, vibration, or pollution. “.
I am glad that you left off what the Gemara is referring to. Pas nisht for the CR.
That you even try to explain the Gemara about windmills with sounds, vibration or pollution is very difficult. Because the Gemara is specifying a windmill and only a windmill. And the next line in the Gemara is about the earth.
Also, this Gemara has nothing to do with this topic. So why did you bring it in ?
Why are you so sure about your understanding of the Gemara that you will say – “Thinking on a good side, maybe children will be good in music.” ?
Don’t jump to conclusions from a Gemara that we don’t understand.
We don’t understand the Gemara before it about the foods that stop/make cloudy mother’s milk either.
I have been following Syags discussion with you about Kollel and I would have added my support to her but she was doing a terrific job of debating you.
I am sure that if she learnt daf yomi and saw what you wrote , she would have debated you here also.
The Jewish People need the Kollel community. All of them. Every single one. And Halevai Ken Yirbu.
They are the source of life of the entire universe. At the Adirei Hatorah event we got a glimpse of the enormous power of the people who are sustaining the world.
There was the story of the Kollel wife who sent her kids to sleep early friday night so that they won’t see them eat only sardines for the Seudah on Shabbos. Mi K’amcha Yisroel.
When Reb Aharon started Lakewood, he was asked by a government official what the purpose of the Lakewood Yeshiva is. Someone started to write that it is about making Rabbis. Reb Aharon told him to change it. It is solely about Torah Lishmah.
The Kollel life is for everyone . All the Gedolim have said that. It is not for a select few. It is not a result of losing 6,000,000.
Klal Yisroel always had people learning full time. There always was Shevet Levi and Yissachar.
And there always were Jews willing to sacrifice every comfort on this world for the next world.
