Derech Hamelech, I’ve been lurking on this thread and have some questions about your posts.

“It also seems that you missed a point I made earlier in that, we do not know who’s Torah is supporting what aspect of the world. For all you know it is the man in Bnei Brak who has been eating half a slice of bread for breakfast every morning that is responsible for some of the good things that you have.”
My response:
And for all you know it is the Torah of SJS’s husband and children, and G@W and his children, that is supporting the world. Why, then, do you not send money so that SJS’s husband and G@W could cut their work hours and spend more time learning?

“I have some difficulty understanding your stance. Do you then believe that shevet Yissachar was wrong for making a deal with Zevulun?
If you say that Zevulun chose to accept on themselves to carry Yissachar, then why don’t you chose this (assuming you can afford to)?”
My response:
Do you also have an issue with shevet Reuven, Shimon, Yehudah, etc, since they also did not choose to make such an arrangement with shevet Yisachar or another shevet? If you do have an issue with them, why do you suppose Hashem did not? And if you don’t have an issue with them, why do you have a problem with SJS’s and G@W’s choices?
