What happened to all the talk about being self sufficient?If the OU can help people take from Government programs, why aren't Kolell people allowed to be on programs?

There is a huge difference Anonymous between those who have lost jobs and need some temporary help with finances until they can find another job and those whose life is planned around not working and being on the government dole. This is not a gathering to teach people to rely on someone else instead of themselves. It's a job fair. There will be possible employers there. There will be help with resumes. The government help is not looked at as something permanent unlike with kollel couples where the government help is a built in part of life.
