3. will recognizing yeshiva studies as college degrees solve problems in Israel? - the author does not have all the facts right, and that affects the discussion. Degrees do affect salary in Israel - in the public sector. that is even if the degree is irrelevant to the specific job. So, someone with a degree in Talmudic Studies (for example), would earn a higher salary as a clerk in City Hall or working in the Bituach Leumi offices, or any public sector job.

Another point, is that he is conflating the way college works in the US and the way it works in Israel. University in Israel generally works with the student choosing a major and studying the topics relevant to it. Not the well-rounded education of the US student of the undergrad degree as described by the author.

17. tikkun leil shavuot, American style - looks like an amazing menu. If i was there, I'd definitely choose this shul (unless a different shul came up with a better menu). And I too dont know what many of the menu items are. I dont think the issue is such a big one - they know what draws people in.
