“Sorry MDG ,presumably you’re capable of a little researching.”

Like I said, I did, but nothing came up in google. So I asked you to provide sources. I’m still waiting.

“Are these just your ( and MDGs)attempts to avoid the main topic/s of the thread?”

I addressed the main topic 4 years ago. I also brought backup as I possible could.

“Do the up and coming generation of Talmidei Chachomim appreciate the sacrifices the klal are making on their behalf & are they preparing to give back accordingly?”

The up and coming generation of Talmidei Chachomim are already giving to the community by sitting and learning, giving Klal Yisrael zechut right now. See Sanhedrin 98b.

“When a person learns, he should not learn just for himself, he should learn for klal yisrael. If he is only able to stay in learning for a couple of years, he should learn with intention to give over to cheder age talmidim. If he is zoche to learn for several more years, he should keep in mind that he should be able to give over to mesivta level bochurim. And if he could learn even longer, he should prepare himself to be a rosh yeshiva. A person should always prepare to give over to the tzibbur .”

That’s exactly what I was trying to say with the mountain mashal above. Not everyone will be a Gadol, but everyone will have his own tefisah and be able to do something with it (each person will get his own piece of the mountain). Rabbi Dessler, on the other hand, is saying that the price to make gedolim is having people go OTD. “1000 fools die to obtain one genuine scholar.” That’s a big difference to me.
