Richest in what? Poorest in what?
THEREFORE!!!!
Who decided that rich is good, poor is bad? Rich is more comfortable, that’s all.
Those who learn toireh are the richest
Nothing surprising here.
rich is good in this world. Its null and void in the next. but Torah is good in this world and good for eternity in the next. So who is better off?

Rehovot has some great yeshivas.
