Who know if the government supporting Torah, albeit unintentionally, is what is keeping America afloat??
And who knows if more and more people will become anti-semites when they find out that large portions of Jews in NJ are taking money from the government to sit and “do nothing all day”? (granted I don’t think sitting and learning is doing nothing all day, its a wonderful mitzvah, but to non-Jews thats what it looks like)
Maybe that anti-semitism will cause the death of innocent Jews?
Only Hashem truly knows the outcome. But I think we all have the responsibility to do our best to be good and moral people.
Ames, I misunderstood the story, sorry! I never said taxes would be eliminated, but they might be reduced or go towards other programs to benefit society. No, Obama doesnt want to raise our taxes because of Kollel people taking services, but it doesnt help the economy any.
I agree that the Kollel system needs a major overhaul!
