The battle to make sure all ultra-Orthodox and Hasidic yeshivas provide a minimally adequate education — as required by state law — is a fight that matters for people of all faiths, writes @errollouis https://t.co/GPt4nsf7kR
Rabbi Pini Dunner spoke up in favor of education standards in Yeshivas. You know "change from within."
Now he can't post anything here without being harassed by Haredi leaders. Don't just look at the tweet, look also at all who liked it.
It’s always gratifying to receive these anonymous messages.
I know what it feels like to be in a community where you can’t speak up for what’s right
I am grateful every day that today I am in a position to speak up.
@beawebwriter My school used to do the same thing. Only the most educated or well spoken kids were allowed to volunteer to answer the inspectors questions
A picture that could only be taken in 2022 America. This is sick. It is depraved.
The baby is innocent. The weapons are meant to kill people. The baby can’t sit up straight but is touching a weapons that can kill over a mile away or wipe out a school.
This is a disease
Here is an Op-Ed written by 3 eminent leaders of Charedi Jewry in America. Important Torah scholars, Roshei Yeshiva.
But they are not chasidish. THEIR schools provide a great education to their students.

The Talmud teaches us that a father must teach his son a trade, and if he doesn't, it's as though he teaches him to steal (to make ends meet).
The absence of basic secular education in many ultra-Orthodox Yeshivas goes against the Talmud and the Torah.

@ShulimLeifer It's just funny how they go from "We give a great education by all/government standards." To, "we don't need to follow rules/don't tell us what to do."
I would say it's cognitive dissonance, but they are not fooling themselves. They are just trying to fool the public.
The least we should expect from all schools is to meet the minimum standards and provide instruction in English, math, science, and social studies, something tens of thousands of children in ultra-Orthodox Yeshivas are currently being denied.

“The failure of the Hasidic schools to teach their students Holocaust history was a pivotal piece of a lawsuit brought by Beatrice Weber, the mother of an 8-year-old boy, against Yeshiva Mesivta Arugath Habosem, the Brooklyn yeshiva he attends under the terms of Weber’s divorce.”
