I’m not sure what Rashi and Tosfos specifically you are reffering to on 29b kiddushin. i assume it is on the gemaras answer “ha lan, viha lihu”. Which opinion says one may abandon his family to learn torah?
Which of these definitions of abandon, are permitted for talmud torah and how do you see it from rashi/tosfos?
