    EY Mom, according to you E.Y. is not different from US as far as staying in kollel goes. That’s a big chiddush.

    A question for the Israelis: how much does a Chareidi family with 6 kids make a month?

    EY mom and other esteemed EY ladies, what gets the frei mad is the fact that the Chareidim need to be on the government payroll because the husbands would not work. The benefits come from their taxes. If all Chilonim did what you suggest, the Israeli economy would collapse.

    Again, I do not believe that an average Bnei Brak wife goes to work as a computer programmer and brings in enough gelt to almost support the family.

    Lit.KJ., Eretz Yisroel was a part of the Ottoman Empire before the WWI. After that war the League gave a mandate to the British Empire. The were supposed to help build a Jewish state there. That was the mandate.

    Secondly, for the n-th time, the Arabs would have almost all of the Chareidim working. No subsidies from the government. Period.

    They would not draft the Jews as they consider them unworthy. Btw, Iran does!!

    Bear, twisting the facts as usual? The British got the mandate from the League of Nations to create a Jewish state there!!

    Btw, an Arab state would never pay to keep all those Chareidim in kollel forever.

    Daas Yochid, the only reason I broght that Gemorah down was to show that we have to be very concerned about causing Chillul HaShem(c^v). The Givyonim’s (and their possible sympathizers) ta’anah was a far-off one. Yet, the Gemorah says we had to be worried about it.

    As far as the etzem zach goes — I wrote enough. See my posts. Also, keep in mind that it is not only that they don’t understand the inyan — they are not mechuyav al pi Halochah(or otherwise) to support all the Chareidim in kollel.

    Daas Yochid, if someone does not want to be modeh al ha

    emes, he will not. Pharoh is the primary example.

    My point about the Chilul HaShem was that it is Chilul HaShem to squeeze money out of unwilling and protesting people to support oneself in learning. If the raya from Yevamos is not a raya for you, I have nothing to tell you anymore.

    Btw, chevrah, I hold that the Earth is flat! Anybody wants to prove me wrong?

    “Mine was just meant to be a case in point that kollel families can be self-supporting”. Yael.e, exactly! It was an example of what could be, but that is not the general matzav of the Chareidim there. You live in R.B.S also, probably?

    The fact that the Israeli kollel system exists on the government money is well known. It seems that it is you who need to do some research.

    Plonis, Israeli Chareidi women do not get full-time well paying jobs which bring in enough to support a family. The kollel system there exists only because the frei shell out a lot of money for it. I know you do not have a lot of extra time, but, maybe, do some research. You are not the whole Chareidi world over there!

    Daas Yochid, it is important for you and the Israeli Chareidim to get back to Earth from their la-la land. They are not some independant entity that has it’s own economy and army. What if the frei stop the money-flow? They could be in for a rude awakening.

    Artchill, totally false! It was not meant to be hypothetical! That’s the type of lies some say these days! Al pi Halocha, one is allowed to hit a rashah. It is not always wise though.

    Rebbe said about Levi, his talmid:”It appears to me he has no brains in his head!”.Sounds strong, does it not?

    Avhaben, get it through your head — it is the Medinah who pays the Chareidi bills, not vise-versa. If both were to say:”We are not paying anymore!”, the Chareidim would lose big time. They won’t have money to buy food (c^v).

    Avhaben, stop saying ridiculous things! The Israeli Chareidim pay those taxes from the money they get from the government. If the latter stops paying, there will not be anything to pay the taxes from or buy bread either.Get back from the la-la land.

    Ladies(Morahmom,Shira…), Chazal openly said not like you.

    D.Y.,real abuse is real abuse. Nevertheless, certain things which are considered abuse are really not. It just these days (because of yeridas ha’doros), the olam does not hold by it — you can’t really punish anybody or rebuke people.

    Advise given to people on how to talk to their children is also tilted in the direction of excessive leniency. Again, because of yeridas ha’doros you can’t tell anybody what to do.

    D.Y., parents do not have to walk on eggs around their chidlren — they are supposed to be in charge. Chazal did hold of hitting and “zrok morah be’talmidim”. Somehow in previous doros they did not examine the kavonos of melamdim under microscope. Etc.

    I do agree about the very great importance of Limud HaTorah. The reason I consider the other angle is to make sure there is no Chilul HaShem involved.

    By overpushing their luck I mean the fact that the Israeli Chareidim conduct themselves like they own the place (E. Yisroel),defying the frei, speaking with tremenedous azus to them, making machos when it is a bad idea (“yotze s’charo be’chefseido”). Be’kitzur, they got the frei mad, real mad.

    Da’as Yochid, I, to a degree, hear what you are saying. However, I think, the Chareidim overpushed their luck there. THey could have gotten better terms from the frei if they acted differently. Plus, whoever learns there-18 or 50-is able to so only because the frei pay their families bills. If they did not, all those 18-year olds would have to go get a job. You can not just look at it form what is better for a bochur’s learning vantage point.

    Akuperma, stop already! Most Chareidim are not NK!!

    PBA, the reason why I am saying what I’m saying is as follows. What I read in the news about drafting the Chareidim is that the Gedolim and the Chareidi politicians say it’s bittul Torah — not that it’s a spiritual danger to go to the army. THey do not stam azoy protest Nachal Chareidi. One of the politicians spoke about fighting for their “right to learn”! Many of them are extreme machmirim on staying in learning davka. I used to think like you until I found out more about what is going on there.

    Lakewhut, what you are saying is outrageuos! Many countries had and many still do have a draft. They draft people to defend the country. And they do not ask them if they want to be drafted. Hitler would have conquered the world if the USSR and the US had not had drafts.

    Secondly, US has a very large population no enemy armies on the borders. And only a tiny % of Americans serve. In Israel, all of the above does not aplly.

    Quite frankly, I am tired of writing the same thing again and again. Toi, exactly, first read my posts carefully and then speak.

    Da’as Yoichid, it clear from the Gemorah and Rishonim and Achronim that if the Goyim have a fair and reasonable ta’anah on the conduct of the Yidden it is Chillul HaShem. The Gemorah in Yevamos(79A) where Dovid Ha’Melech executed Shaul’s relatives is especially compelling because there the chashash was quite far-off.

    Da’as Yochid, in times of the Chazon Ish and even later, it was not a Chilul HaShem because the frei and the Mizrachi Israelis did not mind giving money to the Yeshivos. It is Chillul HaShem though to insist on staying in learning on other people’s money when they openly and strongly object to it.

    Could Eshes Rabi Chanina ben Tradion be blamed for not stopping her husband? Think about it.

    As for the insults, my definition is based on Gemorahs and Rishonim and Achronim.

    Btw, do you know why the Satmar Chasidim do not go to the Kosel?
