DY, if people have time to riot they are not learning on such a high level. Moreover,in the children’s book Me-Avdut LeCherut, which has a hechsher and even a “mefakeach ruchani”, an Egyptian taskmaster is described as demanding sharing the burden. That is to say, it is evil to be asked to contribute to society – those who learn all day davka do not.

Winnie, and in the US they do not telecommute (that is considered a perk) and work long hours? What about the enormous tuition costs. One rabbi told me that he has a talmid who is a CPA in the US. He makes $200K is barely getting by. You are, however, correct that the older one is the more difficult it is to relocate. but that is also true within the US. As for chinuch, I know couples who came with older children as well as people who came as older children and they seem to be OK. One man who came at age 16 said to me “What was the difference between my yeshiva there and here? There are also Torani schools geared to olim. In any case, the video is advertising Norfolk for young couples just starting out. It is also pushing Norfolk as the place to go. That is far different than an individual who cannot make aliya right now for individual reasons.
