Do you really think that parents who live in Israel and refuse to work because they are so concerned with their ruchniyus, would send their kids to the states to live?
The Israelis in my husband’s kollel are starving. They have no money to eat anything at all and they live with the utmost bitachon. They are the happiest people alive. It was only by accident that my husband only found out how poor they are because they definitely don’t show it. Happy or not, if they’re not even paying the grocery bill it baffles me why they don’t get jobs.
