Feif Un -“Health, a kollel check is not nearly enough to support a family,”
Most definitely Not!
“and most guys in kollel could find another job that would pay enough.”
Most of them could not -No matter what you say.
“Therefore, you’re doing it as a l’chatchilah.”
Therefore e/o is doing it as B’dieved!
“As for giving money to kollels, I don’t feel the need to.”
Not that I thought you would feel the need!
“Not when you act like this.”
In what way do I act? Speaking the truth against Kollel bashers?
“I help support people who are learning – on an INDIVIDUAL level, and only those who I think could actually become something big.”
I’m not really interested where you give your money, but if a lot of “Frum people” don’t support Kollels then don’t complain about Kollel guys taking Gov. programs.
“I refuse to support a large kollel that takes in people who will never become Rabbonim.”
Not e/o agrees. Some hold they are doing the right thing by sitting all day and learning, no matter what anyone says!
