There are other issues with this school. It could be a real toxic environment filled with people who want to leapfrog over each other to better jobs.<br /><br />Or, it could be a really disturbing slice of reality. <br />RyeRyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15125205253154768788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1097749014220347853.post-63240013628931723092010-04-12T04:15:00.218-04:002010-04-12T04:15:00.218-04:00Sorry, it was Groucho Marx who said "I refuse...Sorry, it was Groucho Marx who said "I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member".Bartley Kulpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1097749014220347853.post-80107746367554905112010-04-12T04:09:27.713-04:002010-04-12T04:09:27.713-04:00Mordechai Y.

Mind you, it is impossible to know anymore what he really thinks and says, and what the manipulators place in his mouth. A reason by itself to not pay any mind.<br /><br />The idea of separation is abhorrent. It is pretty simply against any of the values I was taught as Torah. What's more, from a practical standpoint, it prevents the wonderful broadening of understanding Torah that comes from bringing different Jewish subcultures *together*.<br /><br />I learned in mixed batei midrash. In fact, we didn't even notice. It was just normal at Mercaz Harav and all the yeshivot Bnei Akiva and Hesder that people would come from all over to learn and teach together. Only when I came back to the US to teach did I realize what a blessing Israeli yeshivot are, that they allow for the reuniting of different communities and *their Torah*. It is educationally stupid to keep things completely distinct.<br /><br />As for the S'fardi student being kept out: have some pride.
