Well, sammygol, this could really be a problem. Not the shiksa thing, but…..

Let us say that our nice Yeshiva boy goes to University to study, say chemistry.

He chooses a school that has mixed calsses–a strong Jewish community.

While his midot are such that scantily-clad shiksas hold no attraction for him, he cou8ld still meet a…….

…..modestly dressed religious girl who is there for her own education. This could be a real problem, since she is likely to regard her own education as important as his. Who knows, perhaps her subject of choice could be pre-med or Yiddish or even….dare I say it… Rabbinical Exegesis! This could even require actual Talmud study!! Who knows where that could lead?

He could marry her–and raise daughters whose education is as important as that of their sons.

I suspect that the above scenario is as treif to certain members of the Yeshiva community as the shiksa scenario.
