Reply To: How much does it cost to support for a year?

As mentioned by prob. majority of the posters here, We get to choose what lifestyle we want whether someone wants a learning boy or a learner/earner.

The fact is that a learning boy will not be working so therefore somehow there has to be an income.

A poster mentioned that her parents can’t support and doesn’t feel she’s on the page as a working boy(personally I know of many really great frum working boys)So I suggest that she try if possible to get a profession in order to support.

The fact that a kollel couple can live nicely is a solely dependent on how they’re being supported-it’s individual to each couple.

I’m trying to be as objective as possible, I think those who don’t approve of supporting kollel couples should prob. take a walk into a kollel neighborhood you’ll be pleasantly surprised, to me it’s very beautiful (even if some of them live nicely-their life is torahdik)And those who are pro-kollel can also see the beauty of someone who’s father works and learns every spare minute he can and makes sure to daven with a minyan,shuirim,has a chavusa,the home is torahdik and full of a love for yiddishkeit..

Everyone in Klal Yisroel has diffrent roles in order to serve Hashem
