SJS:
No, because the men surrounding me are also learning and maintaining the world around us.
Sustaining the world is a joint effort. If a person comes out of surgery r”l does he only pay the guy who held the clamps or the guy who holds the sucking tube? We do not know who’s Torah is responsible for what each thing we have in the world. Besides for that if the men around you are working 9-5 to support their families, who is keeping the world up during those work hours?
It wasn’t enmasse the way it is today.
The tone here suggests that you think it is worse when more people are learning?
I do not know how it works in America but if you are saying that people are supported without the need for tzeddaka then what point are you trying to make?
I’ve basically stopped donating my money to organizations that perpetuate lifestyles that need charity.
As Mod. 80 said in another thread “a person needs zchus for the Rabbano Shel Olam to allow him to support Torah learning”
(sorry mod hope I don’t get you in trouble)
How do you plan to pay for your daughters apartment?
Well, I’m kind of hoping that this will pass by then. But either way, I’ve already asked the Tolna Rebbe if I could start putting money away for shidduchim and he said no, I need to have bitachon that I will get the money when I need it.
