Zahavasdad, the Talmud doesn’t prescribe careers from college does it?
Meno, it’s easy to mistake the combination for the other, and some of them get mislabelled. Jews should buy from a Jewish tailor if possible. But if you have no money to buy from a Jewish tailor, I believe there is some leniency.
Robots and electricity won’t be used after moshiach. It’s too complicated to use by sons of Adam. The bnei nachash use it.
The Talmud says everyone will have to farm one day. The old trades of carpentry and tailoring will thrive.
My grandfather has a line of tailors going back centuries. It’s something HaShem has blessed me with talent, and you shouldn’t work for money, just use your talent to help others.
Jewish tailors can be used to stop shaatnez for example. a lot of apparel today has shaatnez even though it says 100% cotton, etc. you don’t know who made it (some slave labor in china?), and why would you trust them?
I avoided college. Jews should spend their time learning a trade instead, combined with talmud studies. I’m going to be a tailor.
Not all of it can be blamed on fate, some cases are yetzer hara as well. My case is a combination of both. I have strict parents who would call me anorexic if they found out I skipped a meal (I use to believe this as a child- anorexia however is a disorder only for the underweight), but most times they haven’t found out and I had to opportunity to skip these meals. Of course fasting is one of the great solutions to lose the weight off, which some of our great sages and prophets did for a prolonged period of time, for spiritual and health reasons.
division can be good at times.. seperates us from the erev rav.
