Thanks for all the support guys.
Just a couple of points.
I didn’t plan this to turn into another zionist bashing blog, I just wanted to remind you guys basic hashkapha, which is true and undetabale, and agreed on by gedoilim from all circles, that toiora learning protects and enriches more than any physical histadlus,
If anyone needs any further proofs, what about kol haoilam niozn bishvil chanina beni?
BTW, kollel learning existed way before 1970, for example both R’ elchono Wasserman and the ponevezher rov leanrt in the chofetz chayim famous kodshim koillel. In one of r’ matisyohu’s sefrim he proves that even during the days of the gemoro kollel earning was normal. [the big difference is in the proportion of earners to earners,but it is untrue to say it never existed.]
I have no idea which koillel is the longest around, but the gateshead koillel in england has definitely passed a century.
