Avirah,
You criticized three Rebbeim staying at YU because of the infamous club and even said that YU should simply disappear.
You are now pivoting to other criticisms.
“I didn’t say that a prohibited thing is allowed for parnosa. We allow less than ideal things for parnosa, and several rebbeim justified their presence in YU in those terms, including rav yerucham gorelick.”
Unless you heard that from Rav Gorelick zatsal , I highly question that parnossa was a reason, if he even needed a reason.
Do you think Rav Gorelick , or any of the other rebbeim, felt that the torah they were teaching was less than ideal?
Again, none of the Rebbeim need to farenfer zich on being Milamed Torah Lamo Yisrael.
They taught Torah to yiddishe kinder who were going to college and enabled them to get an excellent Orthodox Yeshiva education filled with Yiras Shamayim and Ahavas HaTorah.
That is not so different than other Rebbeim who give shiurim in Yeshivas where the Bochurim get a secular education (Landers) or go to secular college at night (Others).
In America, all high schools have an english department where the talmidim learn for a few hours a day.
Is being a 12th grade Rebbe in an American High School less than ideal?
