After all the discussions here on kollel lifestyle this seems to indicate that it's still something very much admired by a lot of people. |
I'm usually so anti kollel. But I do admire it for those who take it so seriously.
It's not for everyone imo and it shouldn't have to be. That's the part I don't admire. Not everyone is a good learner, not everyone takes it seriously. Some just do it because it's expected, because it's easier than working, because of the reputation etc. That's not something to admire.

Kollel for everyone is something I just encounter online  I'm pro kollel when it makes people happy, when they learn with their heart, when the wife or kids don't suffer. Many girls don't want a FT learner because they think" I'll be pregnant" etc.

So this is the attitude I don't understand. I come from a family/community where everyone starts off in kollel (with some exceptions of course) and I think it's a beautiful thing. I truly don't get what bothers you.
As for learning being easier than working -- I told my boys that this is what imamother says; they laughed so hard...

Fellow wife of big 4 firm accountant here! It is alot of work! I have to say it's not as busy as you say though. During busy season my husband would come home about 10. One job insisted they all leave @ 7 and then he would work from home and atleast still be home. In summer it's def more chilled but and he comes home around 7. The month of December he's basically off all month and works from home a couple hours a day. It really doesn't pay well though:(

High School Rebbe in the mornings. Property management before, during (on his breaks!), and after. Everything and anything at home in between running from one thing to the next. I really need to show him more appreciation.

For the boys who take learning seriously and actually learn all day, kol Hakavod, it is hard work. Unfortunately, many many men aren’t actually learning in their allotted time. Plus, a kollel schedule is very very relaxed giving a whole afternoon off for lunch etc. A kollel man can take off a few hours to take his children to the doctor. A working man cannot. A working man doesn’t get 3 hour lunch break. A working man sometimes travels far and works 12-15 hour shifts. So no, I don’t think kollel is half as difficult as work and neither does my hardworking husband who started off in kollel
