His wife must have agreed to the Kollel lifestyle when they got married. Why should he go to work just because she got tired of the conditions she originally agreed to?SoMeHoW Frumhttp://somehowfrum.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157868497534649595.post-26977894926911510582010-08-30T12:07:35.158-04:002010-08-30T12:07:35.158-04:00there is also no comparing one who learned in Koll...there is also no comparing one who learned in Kollel for 2-4 years to one who learned for 8-12 to one who is a kol yumuv-nik.<br /><br />I don't think that there is a pat uniform answer to this question nor to the hypothetical one you posed about the medical student. Each case must be judged on an individual basis taking a myriad of variables into account.<br /><br />don't know the details of this particular case but making two assumptions: <br />1. that the mother has full custody of the child/ren and <br />2. that among the causes for the divorce was the wife/mothers disaffection with the Kollel lifestyle <br />why should she/ her child/ren have to suffer through diminished alimony and child support so that her ex can prepare himself for deeper religiosity with his <i>next</i> family? That is completely his/his future families business and has nothing to do with his obligations towards her.The Bray of Fundiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08552912825252813495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157868497534649595.post-16964123825781403032010-08-30T02:16:10.264-04:002010-08-30T02:16:10.264-04:00interesting pointinteresting pointsmbhttp://abitoflight.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157868497534649595.post-3157208645661447952010-08-29T22:44:46.653-04:002010-08-29T22:44:46.653-04:00You bring up an excellent point.

Many complain how Kollel is not for everyone, thinking that we have enough leaders...but what they don't realize is that each person who sits in Kollel for several years will raise a family more steeped in the Jewish traditions.Prof K.noreply@blogger.com
