Shvartza Wolf -“First: Let us assume I have no proof whatsoever. Why should your unproven claim be believed more than mine?”
It shouldn’t – because it was my opinion, not an Affadavit. If you call s/o a liar -Oh excuse me – s/o who told a lie on a post -you have to prove it or you sound like an idiot.
“Second: “Rabbi, Dr. Lander A’H, is the one whom instituted all policies in any Touro school. These are all acc. to Halacha.”
“What you think he [Dr. Lander] okayed it? Secondly, even if he did, does that mean he knew what he was going to speak on?
I said policies, not speeches.”
“According to you his policy was to allow speeches about any topics?”
I’m sure not.
“I’m going to repeat again that what was discussed on the first page of this thread was not motzi shem ra.”
I’ll repeat it again -using the actions of few bad apples to put down a whole school is Motzay Shem Ra. Why don’t you ask one of your Rabbi/Drs. in YU? I’m sure at least one of them learnt Chofetz Chaim.
“He did and thats “a fact, not an insult”!”
“I know I asked you earlier in this post to substantiate this claim, but it’s coming up again so: How do you know this?”
Because I went to their school and all the people who work there said so.
“By the way, why did you refer to Rabbi Tendler as “Professor” Tendler?”
Why? I thought he was a professor of Biology in YU.
“Also, it’s interesting that you think that one quote from somebody whose work is widely-available and can be found online indicates that somebody is a student in his university.”
You see that’s another problem with you YU guys -you think the world surrounds you. I never knew that his “work is widely-available and can be found online”. Only a YU guy would know this.
“(I don’t mean to attack you, at least in this paragraph. I’m just wondering)If I quoted, say, Rabbi Belsky, would you assume I learned at Torah Vodaath? If I quoted Rav Elyashiv, would you assume I learned with him?”
No, but Professor Tendler is not that well known, at least not in the Yeshivishe circles.
“”3. Why do you think I am bitter at Touro?”
Safe to say – because why else do you feel the need to keep putting them down?!?”
“I think if you were to read the various things I’ve written in this thread, you’d see that I don’t keep putting Touro down. I get irked, at times, when people speak inaccurately and feel the need to correct misconceptions.”
And your doing an excellent job at that. It appears the more you post – the more your school YU looks bad.
“I’m not a halachist, so I might be wrong, but I don’t think that any of your examples of “sanctioned violations of Halacha” are actually violations of halacha.”
Ok, Nivel Peh, promoting the Toevah lifestyle – even B’shogeg, Chillul Hashem are not “actually violations of halacha”! Whatever you say -it’s fine by me!
“And, with regard to your third example, even if it is against halacha, blaming an institution for the misdeeds of one person seems remarkably unfair.”
Boo hoo, it’s “unfair”. Sorry, you as a student don’t represent the school, but the CEO/President unfortunately does and that’s what he said. Deal with it!
