[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]

From what I understand (this comes up often in the Facebook group) it’s common for women to work and support the families, some yeshiva/kollel’s pay a stipend for expenses but often it isn’t enough.  Being a scholar is considered an honorable way of life but often requires the family to take government services (welfare) which leads to some additional tension in Israel between Haredi Jews and everyone else.  While women are more often breadwinners it’s often said that Haredi men are generally very helpful with the children.  [/quote]
