[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone please explain to me about the roles of the men.  For instance, Akiva is a painter, Lippe works in the restaurant and catering, Dov's character is the head of a school.

But Hanina, and (guy who got locked in the car), and (Ruchmani's younger brother with the mole) are studying.  Guy-who-got-locked-in-the-car is pretty old now, and his wife is clearly insanely overworked.  It seems like there will be no end to these three men's studies.  I don't understand the dynamic. So are the women okay with that forever because it's sort of seen as Maslow's self-actualization for the man?  If I was set up on a date with a guy who was going to do that, I don't think I'd be wanting to marry that guy.  I'd want someone to bring in $, especially if I was to have many children.  So I'm obviously missing something; if someone could please explain it to me. Thanks.[/quote]

Jewish men will spend the rest of their lives, praying, studying, teaching or discussing the Torah and Jewish law.  Hanina is young and studying at a higher level now to become a rabbi. There is a whole episode on Giti trying to get her son, Yosale into the right rabbinical school.

Shulem runs a school for younger Jewish boys which Akiva also teaches in. They have already become rabbis. Zvi Ayre, the brother, is also a rabbi. He is attending a school/meeting for older rabbis/scholars. They survive financially because they receive funds from the state to pursue their studies snd are exempted from military service because of their scholarship ( and many are not Zionists like the Shtisel family).

The orthodox community in America  operates similarly. They rely on public assistance snd the wives are the primary breadwinners. [/quote]
