M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (07.23.10)
Is that UT Austin or Arlington? My grandson graduated in May from UTA (Engineering) and now works for Bell Helicopter.
32. 28 - how's his "hate" different than what you spew?
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (07.23.10)
it's the old nutzarim hypocrisy - it's only hate when others do it; a-ok when pakeed does it. just another reason why paqid's "netzarim" religion is rubbish.
33. To 28 , this # 5 , Hate ?
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (07.23.10)
In your eyes maybe because a Charidi Man was applauded ! And : we don't need tora to make a living in my # 9 . We need a good education to make a living .

Simcha ,   So.Cal.USA   (07.24.10)
You missed the point !! THEY DON'T WORK !!They live off welfare, riot and make babies, lots of them. At this rate in 25 years Israel will be back in the stone -age.
38. 33 - paqid's illogical knee-jerk reactions we see again
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (07.24.10)
the guy acts like a martyr because he says he is attacked without reason, and there he goes himself. he's the biggest walking contradiction in israel, creates new ways to be a hypocrite.
39. Lubavitcher Rebbe at Sorbonne
Levi ,   Toronto, Canada   (07.27.10)
Though the Rebbe studied at the Sorbonne, he did so only after he married. The Rebbe believed that 'higher' education can only be explored once the individual has a firm footing in Yirat Shamayim.
40. Confusion
Tom ,   New York ,USA   (07.27.10)
This article is replete with errors . Yeshiva University is not a Haredi University . I went to a " Modern Orthodox " synagogue , the retired Rabbi and present Rabbi were both graduates of Yeshiva University with the retired Rabbi having a physics degree and the present Rabbi has a Masters in Business. Most of the Synagogue members were Yeshiva graduates , and doctors,lawyers , engineers , accountants. If you look at famous Yeshivas you'll see that many are engaged in full time Tora studies and part time studies in accounting science , computers. The only Haredim who attend universities are the Lubabitch , most Haredim don't graduate high school , although they know English and computers , they have high poverty rates but are subsidised by wealthy Haredi businessman. When the Arab & Haredi populations reach a critical population level Israel will eighther stop subsidizing populations that don''t contribute economically & militarily or go broke.

44. Thinkagain 43
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (07.29.10)
My merit ? i gave a 15 year full time Jewish school to my daughters ABROAD . Two reasons : a ] to know something about Judaism b ] to avoid as much as possible to have non Jewish sons in law . I'm a Jewish atheist , But JEWISH from head to toe . This year i was one time at a synagogue , Bar Mitzwa of one grandson . Last year twice , first for the הנחת תפילין of my three grandsons , then , the Shabbat for their Alyah Latora . I was of course also , as the Sabah , honored with an Alya . No problem for me , even as an atheist . And we all live here of course , at HOME , our Historical HOME Thanks for your appreciation .
