Yu gay club
Yeshiva University amended their charter and changed from a religious institution to an educational corporation. For baalei lashon hora? By Shira Kramer, Managing Editor A joint statement by both Yeshiva University’s Pride Alliance (YUPA) and Yeshiva University was published club stating that a new club, known as “Hareni,” will be implemented on campus in order to provide support for LGBTQ+ students as well as their allies.
The university will not allow the club to promote acts that violate Jewish law. If the new club adhered to Jewish law it would disband. The gay case between the two parties has. It would be as if they identified as proud kleptomaniacs but not openly steal.
The club will presumably do the same sorts of things that all other university clubs do. So what do you think they will be doing? For tax purposes and to accept Federal money. There is nothing in halacha against the existence of such a club.
The Rav was against the whole concept. Provide a space for like-minded students to socialize, discuss matters of common interest, hold events that comply with Jewish law, invite speakers, probably even have a regular study session.
Absolutely disgusting. It would not be allowed to promote acts that violate halacha. Now you all know the truth. The club will be run like other clubs on campus, all in the spirit of a collaborative and mutually supportive campus culture.” Additional Information Hanan Eisenman, a university spokesman said that the students who filed the lawsuit had actually agreed to implement the club envisioned and approved by Yeshiva in The long-running lawsuit between Yeshiva University and the YU Pride Alliance and former students was settled on Thursday, bringing a permanent end to all litigation.
I read that and that seems like a bogus excuse to strip them of their religious rights. A tragedy. It is a testament that uncompromising commitment to Torah and halacha can exist without the homophobia and cowardice that has previously hindered our community and institutions.
A mechallei Shabbos club? Going back to being a religious institution is no guarantee. Many of you told me I was exaggerating or jumping to conclusions when I said freedom to practice Orthodox Judaism had ended in New York State. A travesty. Yes, going back would be a guarantee, because the law in question explicitly exempts religious institutions.
This is a great moment for the entire Modern Orthodox community. We covered the long-running court battle between the Orthodox Jewish university and the student Pride Alliance here:. A club for tax cheats? As part of the settlement, YU has agreed to recognize a new club for LGBTQ students, to be known as “Hareni.” The lawsuit, which was filed inwas brought .
YU and the Pride
YU then appealed to the United States Supreme Court to stay the ruling, but in a ruling the Court denied its request, sending it back to exhaust the appeals process in state court. Any self respecting religious Jew must immediately boycott Yeshiva University until this decision is retracted!
You can be sure this will be enforced strictly.
