More chizuk (at least for me) from Rav Kahn, Shlit"a

(^ click title for link to article from which this was taken ^)


"...Rabbi Aharon Kahn, rosh yeshiva and at the time also rosh kollel, wrote a highly sophisticated, multi-lingual (English, Hebrew, Aramaic, Latin and French) rebuttal. Rabbi Kahn, in a writing style worthy of his two masters degrees, argued that Torah u-Madda is ultimately untenable and must be rejected by the halakhic Jew. The traditions of the university cannot be upheld by a traditional Jew. A true college education, Rabbi Kahn concluded, is not for a Jew dedicated to Torah. "We Jews were never given the charge of keeping the torch of the university ideal. We were charged with the keeping of the Torah... YU was a yeshiva first and, after the advent of the college, continues to be a yeshiva foremost. Rav Dr. [Norman] Lamm insists that the yeshiva is the heart of YU. Then he is the keeper of the heartbeat. YU is a yeshiva at which there is a college."

I'll stick with Torah u'Parnassah...

or better yet, Torah u'Torah.
