    The absolute stupidity and naivete of this generation of bochrim and yungerleit is unbelievable. Don’t they see that the next generation won’t have money to support the basics needs of their families? I’m not talking about new cars and fancy clothing. I’m talking about tuition, food, medical insurance, dental care and at least a little money in savings for the unexpected. Don’t they see that a 30 or 32 year old with 5 children,who starts working and make $30,000 a year will never be able to support his family? “B’zayas apecha tochal lechem” wasn’t written by me. And the k’suba that is read so very quickly under the chupa says the husband will support the wife! I didn’t make that up either.

    While iluyim should be learning long term (if they are lucky enough to be supported), most should learn for a few years and then wake up from the Gan Eden, realize their responsibilties and do what they have to do to support their families (current and future) so that their children should be able to go to high school and Bais Medrash. This means PAYING TUITION for both. When the parents can’t pay tuition, the top Rabbeim and teachers have no choice but to go elsewhere to get paid to support their families. ITS DISGUSTING THAT WE ALWAYS GO TO THE TOP LAWYER WHEN WE NEED ONE, YET THE YESHIVAS WILL OFTEN TAKE MECHANCHIM WHO THEY CAN AFFORD! If everyone did their hishtadlus and paid tuition, our children would get the best education they deserve.

    And how does one make a living? With HKB”H’s help and by getting a good or great education which helps get a great job so that we can afford our priorities. And our top priority is our wife and children.

    Its the parents’ job to teach today’s children the responsibilities of growing up.
