“why do you give $100 if the boy is working?”
Because he is showing initiative. And she is showing courage for refusing to cave in to the “trend”
Support torah? Absolutley! That’s why I support our local Avos ‘u Baninm program, our Chevras Tehillim. After all, kids deserve to be rewarded for their efforts.
But this chosson is not a kid. And therefore should take the responsibility he is about to sign up for seriously. By not having a clue as to how he plans on paying for the things that make a house go ’round, he is not taking that responsibility seriously. Therefore, he does not get the same “reward” our working boy does.
