If that is truly his opinion then chas v'shalom he should have a child who does not fit into this elite category. Let's see what he thinks then. <BR/><BR/>I'm nauseated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-5779398225078217002007-04-19T19:56:00.000-04:002007-04-19T19:56:00.000-04:00That is one weird letter..I don't know if the writ...That is one weird letter..I don't know if the writer knows it, but he acknowledges that the Gemorah centered education we offer is a change over what was done in the past...in essence, he is endorsing change. Now he would probably claim that the "old school" to which he refers isn't the real "old school" and that we need the more authentic model that was used in European Yeshivas. <BR/><BR/>But I would challenge him on that assertion. The European Yeshiva system was a system for the elites. We did not offer formal Jewish education (at least in the school sense) for all children in Europe, especially when one got beyond their Cheder years. The authentic universal Torah education model, that which was initially used in American day schools, IS truly the authentic school model for the kinds of schooling we offer, and I agree with Rabbi Horowitz that we must go back to it.DAGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475799835170867139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-77566549744066299412007-04-19T19:45:00.000-04:002007-04-19T19:45:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.DAGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475799835170867139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-37841829641317821662007-04-19T17:45:00.000-04:002007-04-19T17:45:00.000-04:00I just went on an 11th-hour nominating frenzy, inc...I just went on an 11th-hour nominating frenzy, including some of your favorites. ;-)Scrapshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15911315552965685448noreply@blogger.com
