So kindly explain the prosperity in charedi communities in the US. True it is not across the board – but there are many national and international businesses owned by charedim who have no secular education. The problem is the forced kollel system – army or kollel are the only choices for most – and that is enshrined in the law. Now some charedim want to serve – and they are not wanted because the army is afraid they will spread Yiddishkeit. This is what happened to most of my friends from E”Y – they were ambivalent toward service and would have gone in if they had to but they were rejected as “lo matim” with no explanation even for abridged service after marriage.
Charedim in poverty is very good for the state. The burden is not all that big because some is picked up by contributions from abroad. Povertu makes the lifestyle look unattractive and keeps the charedi despised by society.
