@yeshivaguy45,
Well obviously a rosh yeshiva will say that. But there is so much to question about that.
1) How about the masses that you just know can’t and won’t be a rosh yeshiva. Let not call it masses but rather minority. Surely you just know that 25% will never be the next rosh yeshiva. We aren’t saying “no full time learning for everyone”. Just for some.
2) Are there really no rosh yeshivas in Hesder? I see so many ehrlicha holy jews in the army that you can cry. Have you heard the story by R Asher Weiss about teflin? Why can’t there be a system for more of those boys? I do think 18 is young. But I think we can work with the govt and ask that it be extended to 21-22 when boys are more developed. At that point its not so bad if boys go to “work”. They can go to the army in EY too. I just can’t understand the culture arguement. I should say that I agree it will be harder for chasidim. But even among chasdim Belz has a weaker track. Ger is still hard core but they need to wake up and cater to the weaker ones there too. I think finding a path for chasdim will be harder but not impossible if the army is willing to work with us. But the masses are so anti anyhting.
