There are in Jerusalem a number of places that combine Torah learning with vocational or academic secular studies.
Careful Tahini. Under your plan, those are not options. You are not going to be eligible for federal student loans in many of those places.
We paid for our kids to study in Erez Yisrael post sems and yeshivas full time for two year, expensive but a precious experience for us.
You did? And here I thought you were principled. Turns out, you don’t think it is wrong for a parent to support their child in learning torah, you just think that 2 years is the correct amount. Well, I think 10 years is the correct amount.
We aren’t very far from each other. We both agree to the basic premise: that parents should support their children while they study torah. We only differ in degree.
