a quick response to jackk, pardon the bird feeders,
I am not against learners, I am against using questionable financial means to achieve that. Not only we always had learners, we always had them working together with others. Babylonian yeshivas had 2 sedorim during the year for most people, then taking the rest of the year to review what they learned. People managed: one great amora (r Yaakov, I think) sent his son for the whole year and stayed home working the fields. After a year, he examined the boy and told him to stay working and went to learn full-time himself. We are no way richer, so we should surely have more full-time ehricher learners than we had during Gemora time or even in Volozhin (400 kids). pls respond in the other thread, no need to annoy Ymribat more than the bvord feeders.
