My husband believes its a mans job to support the family and to work. He feels that if a charedi yingerman is willing to WORK they deserve a medal! This is because its’ not an adhered to hashkafa, which is sorely overlooked, in exchange for accepting tzedkah unfortunately.
He detests boys who use “learning” as an excuse to be lazy. He always says if the boy is a “real” learner then there will be a line up to FULLY SUPPORT him, instead of at the wifes’ expense.
In yiddishkeit throughout Europe there has always been classes. Why are people afraid/ashamed now to be amongst the working class? DOesn’t fulfilling the mitzvah of earning your bread by the sweat of your brow deserve some respect? In other words, working is commendable. Emunah, and avodas Hashem are important but you do not have to sit in a Yeshiva to be important to Hashem. There were many stories of simple unlearned Jews who kept shabbos with faith.
Why are ppl afraid to be “less than the best”?
THe “low class” i cannot tolerate however has nothing to do with workers or learners categories. Rather its the late night hangouters, the “boys” who have a wife at home with a few babies, but they do not go home as a rule, rather they sit together smeezing until 11 or 12 about where to get the best sale on the next bluetooth in very loud and obnoxious voices in a Grocerystore.
