3.3.21

 In Breslov today, I was speaking with a fellow that is in the paratroopers units of IDF and the subject the religious world sucking money out of the state ( a well known sore spot) came up. [I suggested that the parliamentary system is at fault.]  At any rate, I think it ought to be clear that people ought to learn Torah; but to use Torah to make money is  different subject. The ideal way of learning Torah is to sit and learn and trust in God for parnasah [making a living]. But the trouble begins when people begin to see Torah as a means of making money. 


There is an argument if it is permitted it accept charity in order to learn Torah, but to use Torah to suck the state is not the same thing. But that is not just in Israel. There is a general problem in the religious world of using Torah for money and power.
