Popa, I wouldn’t have said it in as an inflammatory or bar plugtadike way as you did. The reason is the RCA disagrees with the quasi-halachic decisions made by YCT’s administration. Of course they’re still Jewish chas vesholom to slander another Jew like that, they’re just making incorrect halachic conclusions. And the line is from a movie, A Few Good Men.
Just a member: JTS isn’t like that anymore. I said it used to be fairly observant, maybe even the MO of its time. But those days are over, and they ended when JTS started ordaining women, later gays, and said that Halacha should change to accomodate women and mechalelei Shabbos. YCT purposefully tries to be creative within the halachic framework- they actually cite mekoros and learn Gemara. They might be wrong but they at least try. Most JTS graduates are not giving advanced Gemara be’iyun shiurim. YCT people often are.
