rabbiofberlin: “zichmich- you probably don’t know that but your solution is one of the proposed ones- namely to allow everyone to work LEGALLY but not spend any more money from the national treasury on the kollels. Do you know who opposes this? THE ROSHEI YESHIVA !! Because they know that, if given the opportunity, masses of so-called kollel jungeleit would leave the kollelim, thereby deprivig the roshei yesihva and their many hangers-on of jobs.”
If the secular really want that Chareidim to work for a living [legally]why is Rabbi Eichler [from Agudas Yisroel Party]the one introducing the bill to solve these issues??? Why has’nt anyone from the larger parties in power from Kadima, Likud, or Yisroel Beiteinu suggested this solution? Why did this proposal come from the chareidim themselves? Maybe, just Maybe, the Chareidim don’t have anything against working per se, just that they don’t want to join the army???
