Enlightened Jew, I found your entire post to be very well-expressed. I had not even considered the fraud that is perpetrated by some. We look askance at those welfare recipients who are on welfare because they have too many children and don’t seem to want to work. And yes, though there is a WORLD of difference between such people and Yeshivah yungerleit who are using their time to learn Torah, to the outside world who pay taxes that support both populations, there seems to be little difference in the end result, which is the appearance that someone is still getting something for nothing.
