What is this new phenomenon whereas bochurim get paid for learning? Is that not just what they are supposed to be doing???
I don’t charge every-time i have a drink or eat my lunch…
-RANT OVER
no
i believe paying bochurim to learn bein haz is a very special thing if you cant stand it you need help
Take money for learning ? How horrendous.
Take your average balebos, for example. He would NEVER take money for learning. He does it ‘cuz he’s supposed to, and would love to have more time for it. Which is why the local shuls are as packed on Sundays with balebatim as they are bein hazmanim with
bachurim, huh ?!
its funny how people are always screaming that bochurim need to play basketball and take breaks, but by bein hazmanim they think that bochurim shud never stop for a second
Good point they do need a break and to recharge. Maybe money is the incentive to keep going during a break. But they still need a break so they don’t get burnt out. Sometimes mundane things like relaxing seem like a waste of time, but it can actually be a mitzvah when the purpose is to be refreshed and learn better
what about kollel? any problems with that?
no

Um, they do need the money.
My Shul has a learning program where they do NOT pay, and the Rav at the Opening of Bein Hazmanim spoke about Torah Lishma, etc. etc.
However, it is not so shver to give a monetary incentive — most bochurim who come are bochurim who want to learn and would learn anyways; this just encourages that they all come to a central location with a Kol Torah rather than learning at home/random shul, and stops a lot of shmuzing that would otherwise inevitably happen where bochurim meet bein hazmanim.
Yes, it is not ideal for somebody to only learn for the money. But that is not the point of these programs. AND the Mishna says ????? ???? ??? ???? ??? ???? ????? ??? ???? ?? ????.
ha! that was lame
