#Yeshiva University seeks mental health records, tax returns in suit over #LGBTQ club

At Yeshiva University, Tai Miller was a volleyball player, and president of the student government. But there was one part of his identity the Modern #Orthodox school wouldn’t let him celebrate in an official club.

fervently religious Hasidic community, where Yiddish is the dominant language, schools focus on teaching Jewish law and prayer, while often providing little secular education in English. The Times found that at 25 of the city’s approximately 160 Hasidic yeshivas, more than half of the students are classified as needing special education. Records show the classifications are routinely justified by citing the students’ struggles with English. #hasidic #education #nyc #yeshiva

I'm so pleased that Julia isn't giving into the emotional blackmail of her youngest son. No child—no child—should learn in hyper-Orthodox #yeshiva before graduating from high school.

I don't watch reality shows. Ever.
But Julia's story and the Julia/Aron interaction make this one different. It's overproduced and focuses too much on irrelevant stories and tired #realityTV tropes, but I am fascinated by it.

“I want to ask Likud voters: is this what you wanted—to take money from soldiers and hand it to yeshivot?!”

Sadly, yeah: that appears to be precisely what they wanted.

In #yeshiva, I learned that promises of good or rewards in #Tanakh are guaranteed, but promises of punishments are not neccesary, they 're like warnings. So for example when #Hashem promises success through the #Navi, it's guaranteed, but if He promises #exile, it's possible to avoid it.

If so, then why did so many #Rishonim try to calculate the #400years of slavery? Why didn't they just say "The warning no longer applied after ~200 years"
