I never understood the deal where the Jewish men sit on their asses studying Torah while the women get to make the money and figure out how to feed the children. These young boys going into the Army could be the making of them.

I wonder if it's the ultra-orthodox women who are the main supporters of that status quo? It keeps the men out from under foot, and makes them dependent "mama's boys".

One thing that military life does, is it shows a young man that he can live independently from Mom and Dad's control.

PapaBear, you love blaming everything on women.

I am female, just fyi and no, these poor Orthodox women right now are cleaning every room, every cabinet, every pocket to free them of all traces of leaven for Passover. They are exhausted. They would be happy if the teenage boys worked. They would be overjoyed if their husbands worked.
