And let me just mention that I truly value a Kollel lifestyle. My husband learned for 15 years in Kollel – but we did it without expecting money from our parents or the U.S. govt.
It can be done – you just have to want it badly enough – to be ‘Moser Nefesh’ for it.
I understand that maybe every woman is not cut out for a life where she has to work full time – but then maybe she is not cut out for a Kollel life either.
