1. Is kollel life the ideal or is working and should kollel folks get community support?

It depends on the person. Some are made to work, some are made to learn.

If the community can afford to support a Kollel, they have to. No one has a right to be Matil themselves on the Tzibbur just because they want to learn.

2. Also, should Israeli bochrim be forced to serve in the army?

If they’re not learning, probably. If they are learning, let them learn. David and Yoav.

3.Why is there such a shidduch crisis?

Who knows?

4. Is modern orthodoxy problematic?

Not inherently. Many who take the title, though, do not do so honestly.

5. Why do people use labels like yeshivish, how accurate are labels anyway?

So they can put other people down and/or put themselves up.

6. Is it wrong to have a very expensive chasuna?

Probably not, but only if you can afford it.

7. cholov yisroel- whats the deal?

I dunno. Large parts of the world chose a Din D’Rbannan with a Machlokes Achronim to make into one of the major issues of what makes one “Frum”. I have no idea why.
