I don’t understand.
The people that are taking money from government services to go to Kollel, are doing it (legally) in order to learn Torah. Why is this a problem? I think the mitzvah of talmud Torah supersedes the “chumrah” of not being on welfare.
If things get too tight, its a siman that its time to move on and the yungerman can find a job then. Until then, why do you want to take someone out of kollel?
Even if he only did it because its “the thing to do”, limud Torah is still shakul kneged kulam.Is HKB”H going to punish someone for learning Torah?
I really don’t understand what the foundation of the argument is here.
