Reply To: Modern Orthodox Judaism

a little factoid about higher secular education in the Torah world: I read a quote somewhere (i wont say where) of the Chassam Sofer, who lived at the dawning, gruesome as it was, of modern medicine. I requote freely: “I have always been puzzled why we don’t have our own institutions for how can we rely on the universities of the goyim whose premises are faulty and whose wisdom is idolatry. For all their expertise is based on the examination (disection) of heathens who eat shkatzim urmasim,and worry not about mitzvos, what can they know of the Jew who abhors shkatzim uramsim and worrys for mitzos”
