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!
