Out of his pure love for Hashem and the Torah. And his Ahavat Yisrael. <br /><br />If he refuses to do community work voluntarily, and wants and accepts payment for everything he does, such a man should not be leading a community. He should get a job and earn a living. He can collect milk bottles or clean the windows. That is what is called ‘earning a living’. <br /><br />Torah is learned, studied and taught: out of Love. Voluntarily. But the ‘rabbis’ have turned the Torah into their ‘Profession’, from which they earn money. <br /><br />We are commanded in the Shema to:<br />‘LOVE Hashem, your G-d, WITH ALL YOUR HEART, and with all your soul and with all your might.’ <br /><br />‘VE’AHAVTA et Hashem Elokecha BECHOL LEVAVECHA uvechol nafshecha uvechol meodecha.’ (Devarim, Vaethanan, 6:4-5)<br /><br />Is the ordinary man or woman PAID to pray to Hashem, or to say some words of Torah? No. Has veshalom! But the rabbis are. These men can give ‘lovely’ shiurim that they have rehearsed. But they would not give a shiur without being paid for it.<br /><br />The true hachamim and rabbis of old, all actually worked at proper jobs and professions. <br /><br />Wake up! Even a little child could have worked this out. These salaried men can never truly stand for the Torah, because in a case of conflict between a correct course of action according to the Torah, and the rabbi or rav’s pocket – his pocket and position will always prevail.<br /><br />Pirkei Avot: (2:2) <br />“Raban Gamliel beno shel Rabi Yehuda HaNassi omer: yafeh talmud Torah im derech eretz, sheyegiat shenaihem mashkachat avon. Vechol Torah she’ein imah melacha sofa betailah ve’goreret avon. Vechol haoskim im hatzibbur yiheyu imahem leShem Shamayim……”<br /><br />“Rabban Gamliel, the son of Rabi Yehuda HaNassi, said: It is good to combine Torah study with a worldly occupation, for working at them both drives sin from the mind. All Torah without an occupation will in the end fail and lead to sin. And let all who work for the community do so for the sake of Heaven………”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382635099156893364.post-43804243157557697642011-01-09T13:00:06.174-08:002011-01-09T13:00:06.174-08:00Eliyahoo William Dwek
