Joseph, it doesn’t matter what the non-Jews do! I am not saying we should take less advantage of legal services than they do, or more advantage, or the same advantage- I’m saying that we should focus on what we are doing REGARDLESS of what they are doing. If an ilui wants to spend his days learning Torah, more power to him. But let’s limit the number of men who jump on board just because it has become the thing to do, particularly those men who have natural talents in useful fields like technology. There’s no question that the community needs some men to be learning full-time, but we really need to make that a much smaller percentage than it is now so as not to suck up tax money and overwork the women of the community.
