Lost in Kollel » stability http://www.kollelguy.com From Kollel Yungerman to Happy Working Man - A Complete Guide Fri, 27 Jan 2012 03:08:27 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 A Great Paying Job with Plenty of Time to Learn http://www.kollelguy.com/myth-of-good-job-free-time-to-learn http://www.kollelguy.com/myth-of-good-job-free-time-to-learn#comments Mon, 26 Oct 2009 03:14:45 +0000 aaron http://www.kollelguy.com/?p=401 Nothing is created in a vacuum. Most great things come about as a result of instability, uncertainty, and fast moving change.

Lakewood Yeshiva began as a direct result of the dire situation of Torah in America. Bais Yaacov was started after tens of thousands of Jewish girls were going off the derech. Going back many many generations, Rabbenu Channanel and his father spread Torah to faraway lands when their ship was captured by pirates and they were redeemed by the Jews of Spain.

Most people have dreams of finding stability – a good paying job that allows one to work a little, make a lot, and have plenty of time to learn Torah and spend with family.

Of course, such situations don’t exist. There is no growth from stability. A boat needs to be rocked in order to move.

Maybe that nagging feeling that sets in to most kollel guys when they hit 30 is not such a bad thing after all. If it bothers you enough, maybe it will inspire you to get moving.
