Once again, the EDITORIAL staff of THEYESHIVAWORLD.COM has revealed EDITORIAL incompetence, as well as the lack of depth and understanding of proper Jewish life. An EDITORIAL is supposed to be a coherent statement that demonstrates an opinion related to a news item. It can also be a general commentary on any area of life and interest to the readers. In deference to you, it seems that you desired to write an opinion commentary that is opposed to lavish fundraisers particularly in Orthodox Jewish circles.
You surreptitiously labeled your article, “Respectful Discussion About Lavish Fleshing (Alcoholic) Event By BMG.” No doubt this was an attempt to get readers to the article by referring to it as “Respectable.” Once inside the article, we are subjected to wild rants that seem more personal than intellectual. you come with a hodgepodge of cliches and throw them at the organizers of the Yeshiva dinner, whom have undoubtedly discussed these issues with the Roshei Yeshiva, who are far more understanding than your editorial staff.
Perhaps you are better suited for a position with the NY TIMES or WaPo joining with anti-Trump Ranters, rather than a commentator of Jewish values.
Shame on you for you arrogant presumptuousness.
Why not start again and write a truly respectable article that will engender truly respectable debate. I am sure that if you would call the Roshei HaYeshiva to “respectably” discuss your concerns they would be happy to attempt to respectably assuage your concerns.
Respectfully and sincerely,
Tzafni
