Truly returning the crown to its glory.<br /><br />MInd you, I disagree with an important nuance in his words. I don't think a secular education is *only* for those who won't be great in Torah. I think that greatness in Torah requires a fundamental secular education, which today means a college degree. If that weeds out a few candidates for greatness, so be it. I doubt Rav Aharon Lichtenstein, for instance, would say that his university education diminished his ability in Torah.<br /><br />And, of course, those not meant for college nonetheless need a basic 'secular' education to pursue whatever livelihood suits them.<br /><br />But I'll certainly concede there's more than one way to look at this, and thank God there is finally a hareidi public voice of sanity! No surprise it is Sephardi. What happened to Poalei Agudah? Now, if only a large segment of the public would follow his view...Mordechai Y.

It may take Ashkenazim by surprise, however.yaakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08179304707239865515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-48849079824633562010-05-10T09:36:42.792+03:002010-05-10T09:36:42.792+03:00While what he says is outstanding unfortunately he...While what he says is outstanding unfortunately he doesn't represent the perspective of the core Chareidi world - those who must work are still looked down upon and the resistance and protest to the new RBS HS is an expression of this. I hope we see the day that the Chareidi world embraces and encourages families to be self sufficient.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
