” Two Rishonim opposite the many I brought.”

Not opposite. None of your rishonim asured university — nor any acharon prior to the 19th century.

“Two Rabbis from YU “

I could list hundreds more if you want.

“Two German Rabbonim trying to stem the tide of assimilation opposite most of the rest of the European Rabbonim.”

Rabbis in Western Europe and Italy were also attending university. And some of the rabbis I mentioned were actually from Eastern Europe like Rav Herzog, Rav Soloveitchik, and the Lubavicher Rebbe.

Why do you keep pushing this? Frum Jews have been attending university since the time of the rishonim and will continue to do so, and some of them became gedolim. You aren’t going to convince anyone who isn’t already convinced.

And you still haven’t even begun to explain how the community will survive if there are no Jewish physicians or engineers.
