Exemption for Torah Scholars
Question
According to the Haredi view, that from Maimonides in the laws of the Sabbatical year and Jubilee there is an exemption for Torah scholars {very strained}, is it forbidden to leave the yeshiva, or is this an exemption for whoever wants it?
Answer
If you are interested in their view, you should ask them.
Discussion on Answer
I have no idea. And in general, the question about “their view” isn’t well defined. There are masses of them, and each one may have a different opinion.
Thank you.
I’m asking whether the Rabbi knows what their view is from Maimonides. Thank you.
