how about an event for balebatim that learn in the morning and night and support the bnai torah???
Curious how many people are expected!
Yossies well said
Yossies,
The point of this event is to give you chizuk that you should continue supporting the bnei torah as you have so beautifully done in the past and even perhaps increase your commitment to them financially, all at the same time as you are learning for yourself in a kvius’dika way.
Most of the support for people in kollel comes from the woman
@YOSSIES – This event IS for just such a person (and for everyone else); It is meant to instill a greater appreciation for those who are learning full time AND for those who are supporting them (whether that be the wives, the parents, the in-laws, or the chashuveh baalei batim.
Having said that: It is precisely lines like that – as well meaning as they are – that can sometimes make the fulltimes – those who are the Aron who are carrying the nosei ha’aron – feel as if they are not so appreciated. I am sure every morning and every night as you close your Gemora or Shulchan Aruch after a grueling one or two hour seder of intense learning you wonder how anyone can do this for three or four hours “straight” (I am sure the busiest businessman takes a coffee break), and do that two or three times a day and THEN go home and help with the children since most of these homes do not have regular paid help. Then, after homework, bedtime, and shopping, there is the night seder, or the preparing for shiur.
Of course your help is greatly appreciated. It truly is. But if anyone feels what they are doing is supporting otherwise lazy individuals who have to come on to hard working fellows as yourself, then this even is for everyone!
@yaapchik: i saw that 25,000 expected.
@YOSSIES look at gemara chagiga 27A pesachim 49A-B.
Anyone know if there is a livestream?
