Deepblue. It is a basic concept in life that you don’t love someone if you’re only willing to do for them, what is convenient for yourself. Also common knowledge from chazal, one cannot feel true love towards hashem (as opposed to imagined) without first feeling fear of him. Lastly, this professed love of hashem -read I’m a jew in my heart- has been used by some as a crutch to recluse oneself from keeping any mitzvoth and they are worse off for it. There are no rights in Judaism, however there is bechirah for which one is instructed to choose good. The concept of rights is from foreign waters and can be dangerous when understood as more basic then torah. Finally I’d request you do some research on the mitzvah of chinuch and punishment for lack thereof, from jewish sources. WOW you seem to be fulfilling your role as a jewish parent remarkably, may Hashem bless you that it may yet bear fruit very soon
rabbeinu yonah writes the reason the leviim received 10% is because they needed to be supported in their learning.This was given by the other 11 shevatim in order that they be more comfortable than the rest of the population. (do the math.) He also writes very sharply in iggeres hateshuva that the only hope of those not fully immersed in torah is supporting torah learning to the “best” of ones ability. People in learning are poor to give the rest of us the only opportunity to tap into this highest life elixer, not that we should darshen to them to get a job, poor fools.
DY I fully agree with you. However, this is an interesting M.M. perhaps R’Y.C.Z is coming from. MOSHAV ZEKAINIM OF THE BALEI TOSAFOS PARSHAS VAYAKHEIL 38:8. Certainly not to pasken from but interesting non the less.
