Reply To: Correcting a misconception about parnassah

FYI:

Whether “Ein Maavirin” will apply or not will be Taloui in the famous machlokes between the Chacham Tzvi & Teshuvas Ridvaz (IIRC) regarding being let out of jail for a day.

It is just too Geshmak a piece of Torah to let by without mentioning.

DH: I hear you not liking the joke, but too many times it is true and support does take away from the parent, especially if it is open ended (like the joke implies). So I will still use it, but try to keep in mind the importance of Limud Torah.

Sof Kol Sof:

Each child should know the parent, to know if they are capable of support and doing so B’lev Shalem, without detriment to the parent’s own learning.
