Hadar’s #Rabbinic #Yeshiva Intensive (RYI) aims to refill the spiritual and intellectual wells of #rabbis from across the denominational and geographical spectrum through text study and meaningful conversation.
It offers a remarkable space for rabbis of all backgrounds to come together to learn resonant and relevant Torah in Hadar’s beit midrash.

New York appeals court says #Yeshiva University must recognize #LGBTQ+ group

A four-judge panel agreed with a lower court ruling that the university is not exempt from New York’s anti-discrimination law. https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2022/12/new-york-appeals-court-says-yeshiva-university-must-recognize-lgbtq-group/

NY's #Yeshiva University has asked the #SCOTUS to let it block an #LGBTQ student club, after a lower court denied it had that right. All students are equal, but some are more equal than others. https://edition.cnn.com/2022/08/29/politics/yeshiva-university-supreme-court-lgbtq-pride-alliance/index.html
