The Rebbe's View on Seeking Government Help
« on: March 26, 2015, 10:22:33 AM »
A guy had a hard time financially and he wrote to the Rebbe that people are telling him to seek help from the government, the Rebbe answered:

ידוע מחז"ל אהוב את המלאכה

Translation: A well-known saying of our sages is 'Love the work'
i.e. Get a Job!

I don't know if you can call this the Rebbe's view based on one hora'a to one individual in one situation.

Although it is interesting to see the Rebbe's response to this individual on this topic. If the OP would have WhattsApp, he would've seen all the discussion on this topic on the various WhatsApp groups.

I think it's one facet of the Rebbe's view, even if it isn't for everyone...
