Reply To: R Soloveichik on girls education

Lazy responses so far, conflating a rav with a vaguely defined mo. R Wasserman visit precedes RYBS role at yu, either when his father r Moshe Soloveitchik was there.

RYBS was also not in charge of all decisions at yu. He makes it clear in an article about yu medical school. He says that he supports it bdievad and with hope it will do well and that he was not consulted beforehand.

He was also pretty strict in drawing the limits – rejection of non O, dialogue with other religions on religious topics. I think like r Schwab he saw that as a precondition to engage with modernity.

He himself acknowledged that many others opposed his views. See initial response about girls and gemora: I am not going to get into controversy if you are not going to follow-up
And in his quip that he learns Torah as much as others, and does philosophy at the time others are saying lh about him.
