Feif Un -“Health, do you really take it as a b’dieved? Are you working to support your family? If you’re sitting in kollel all day, then you’re taking it as a l’chatchilah.”

That’s your opinion because you think Kollel is like sitting on the stoop all day! But actually most Kollel guys get a check for learning. And if all their incomes’ (eg. if their wife works) isn’t enough to cover their expenses -then they take Social programs which they are entitled to. This is called B’dieved. If the Jewish community would give more money to the Kollel fund -maybe they could pay them better and not have to take social programs. I know – “the Jewish community doesn’t have enough for themselves” -so how come I’m seeing all these ads for the Jewish community on all these Jewish websites offering Pesach all over the world in luxurious hotels and don’t tell me they can’t make Pesach. Because even if they can’t -they can stay at the local Hotel. Lots of Jews spend on themselves first and afterwards spend on others! So if this is the way it is -Don’t complain when Jews have to take Gov. programs to survive.
