Kollel is really about whether we want to completely restructure family life in the frum community. I believe that is why so many people are upset with this concept. The young man with no profession, the wife going off to work and spending less time within the family, the infants being taken care of by others, the older generation postponing retirement and going deeply into debt, constant concerns about money and receiving charity and welfare. And this is only for starters. The question of learning or not is simple when compared to questions about family life. Are we ready to accept these changes? The title of this thread is the “kollel revolution,” and that is exactly what it is.
