“For he is a rabbi, who has set up a door for the rabbis, saying, ‘The word of David is a rabbi, and the rabbis are a rabbi, and the end is a rabbi, and the beginning is a rabbi.”
Last week, Rabbi Meir Zvi Bergman eulogized Rabbi Solomon, zt”l, supervisor of Delickwood, and said, “Anyone who is not shocked by the removal of the emerging one is fearing an apocryphal man who says, ‘Why are our rabbis here?'”
Now I sit in horror and ask…
What is the definition of ‘May we be the rabbis, let us be the ones to give to them’?
To say that the yeshivot are a burden falls within the definition? And if I say that they are not a burden, is it problematic that they are in their own Noah’s Ark and do not participate with the rest of the public? To demand that they go to the army and participate in the work, as if your brothers went to war?
And ask the same things about the Haredi rabbis?
It’s clear to me – intuitively – that this is not included.
But then, where does heresy manifest itself?
If someone just says that the Torah is meaningless (as a spirit), that is stupidity, not heresy. So what were the Sages talking about?

It's okay. My life won't stop if you don't answer.
It will be hard, but I will survive.
Just so that I don't bother others and they don't delete me, what part of the question did you feel offended by?
The point is to say that the t”h are not useful, literally. What's so difficult?
You assume that if they are useful, that means that everything is allowed for them? To become a burden? To evade service? And to do it even if they don't study? To do it at the expense of a public that is not interested in it (secular)?
What kind of question is this?!
