“Mine was just meant to be a case in point that kollel families can be self-supporting”. Yael.e, exactly! It was an example of what could be, but that is not the general matzav of the Chareidim there. You live in R.B.S also, probably?
The fact that the Israeli kollel system exists on the government money is well known. It seems that it is you who need to do some research.
Plonis, Israeli Chareidi women do not get full-time well paying jobs which bring in enough to support a family. The kollel system there exists only because the frei shell out a lot of money for it. I know you do not have a lot of extra time, but, maybe, do some research. You are not the whole Chareidi world over there!
