The Rav that made that comment also said that people in Kollel can't even maximize their time. And I have to agree. Many times I have been in Yeshiva's/Kollel's with such blatant bitul Torah. Its a problem ALL Klal Yisrael struggles with. If each of us truly maximized every moment we had to learn we would all be different people and perhaps one step closer to bringing Moshiach.Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10809438696971360153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2606399196932045640.post-17157021036547727322011-03-10T10:50:08.261-05:002011-03-10T10:50:08.261-05:00Great post.Great post.Neil Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12797772082427806345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2606399196932045640.post-17714260005463859112011-03-10T09:31:23.187-05:002011-03-10T09:31:23.187-05:00If not literally in kollel then, maybe with a chav...If not literally in kollel then, maybe with a chavrusa from a local kollel or yeshiva.

Who says kollel won't do a better job of teaching him to focus?"<br /><br />The problem is that l'ma'she, it isn't that way most of the time. Most kollel environments lack structure, and are therefore more appropriate for people who already have a highly developed sense of self-discipline.<br /><br />Micha, I think he meant studying secular subjects where, like in a grad course.DixieYid (يهودي جنوبي)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03713423988723533390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2606399196932045640.post-36791917111393053332011-03-10T09:04:56.653-05:002011-03-10T09:04:56.653-05:00I think there is an error in that translation. &qu...I think there is an error in that translation.
