They could use the stipend, the chizuk, the comradarie, the structure, the learning - it'd be a huge, huge benefit for those in this circumstance. There's be no issue with a chuvrusa - the understanding going in would be that an interview or, b'ezras Hashem, a job offer, would supercede participation in the kollel. If you could find a strong rosh kollel with experience counselling displaced breadwinners, it'd be an even greater benefit. Tie it in to mincha, for instance - can you imagine the tefilla?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7968767325807262076.post-88224167547070663202009-09-03T12:38:12.933-04:002009-09-03T12:38:12.933-04:00Lets hear from all those who are concerned out the...Lets hear from all those who are concerned out there:<br /><br />Unemployed people I know say that the hardest part of it, is the boredom of having nothing to do all day.They can't go back to Yeshiva because most lost their contacts there, and more importantly when actively looking for a job you can't make a commitment to a chavruse.<br /><br />The commitment problem is a big hindrance to most constructive behavior.Other then signing up for more course and helping their wives (neither are always feasible) how should an unemployed person spend his days constructively and keep out of the trouble that boredom/too much time brings???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7968767325807262076.post-53814346255843127182009-09-03T10:01:39.471-04:002009-09-03T10:01:39.471-04:00Now people are finally understanding the pain peop...Now people are finally understanding the pain people go through when they are unemployed. Al achas kamah v'kamah what people who were good at their professions go through when terminated for NO CAUSE by a board of nobodys who think they are beyond reproach. They think that because they have money or perceived money, they can vote out another person.<br /><br />Yesh Din V'Yesh Dayan! Anyone involved in pushing a rebbe out of chinuch for NO CAUSE will learn the hard way what desperation feels like.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
