Quote of the Day

I am a Bet Hillel person.. if the level of employment among Haredi males would be similar to the levels among the rest of the population, it would create another 20 billion shekels for the State... two of the gedolei yisrael, the Rambam and Rashi, worked full time and they were experts in the Jewish texts no less than Deri and Gafni..

  -- MK Avigdor Lieberman (Yisrael Beyteynu)

nothing new about his statement but the way he said it is amusing

    Why does he think that Rashi worked full-time?

    not sure but my guess is that because he was a vinter he must have worked full time. definitely between that and between being an accomplished author.. :-)

      There's no proof he was a vintner.
      Strictly made up story.

    Proof that he must have worked full time is he managed to marry off all his daughters to top-of-the line learners
