It is amazing how many of our good Yidden have been brainwashed…oh,well, what else is news?
I am not going to comment on many of the above postings. Suffice it to say that I do not believe there is any mitzvah for everyone to learn in kollel.About the only way to show one’s displeasure of this is not to contribute to a kollel.
elilev- looks like you believe that the laws of economics have been suspended for today’s dor, even as it was surely part of the time of our Tanoim and Amoroim.
And, actually, yup, I do disagree , on that item, with the Rabbonim you mentioned. Thank G-d, I have many other rabbonim (and gedolim) who feel like me, starting with the Tanoim of the Mishnah.
The comments I made were not necessarily degrading (as you intimate) but just a gentle reminder that one should look at the original sources.
I am pretty sure that if I say to you that we should ignore a Mishnah or gemoro on another item (say–about women learning gemoro)you would call me an apikoros. Strange ,isn’t it, that you ignore plenty of mishnas and gemoros and yet, you don’t find it wrong. “Hajitochen?”
