Hakatan: Then why do so many Chareidim above the working age still not work? Every day there are new statements supposedly in the name of the Gedolim that getting a job is Assur and poison for Yiddishkeit and that you have to just learn and trust the money will come from somewhere. I have no problem with staying in Kollel and learning as long as it can be afforded. But the claim that the only reason they don’t work is because of the army law just doesn’t stand up to basic logic.
