| Chief Rabbi Yosef: Science, math are nonsense, study in yeshiva instead |
| 2021-06-30 |
| [JPost] - Chief Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef described Israel’s school core curriculum studies program as "nonsense" and said pupils should study in yeshivas instead where only religious studies are taught. Yosef’s comments sparked criticism toward the Sephardi chief rabbi, who was accused of promoting dependence on government handouts and charitable donations instead of advancing self-reliance. "There is nothing like the holy Torah, the Torah is above everything," said Yosef in a recent synagogue address, first reported by the Kikar Shabbat news website. "If a pupil is asked where do you want to go, a yeshiva high school [where religious studies are taught together with the core curriculum] or a holy yeshiva, there is no doubt, a holy yeshiva, there is no doubt," declared the chief rabbi. "There they learn Torah without secular subjects, without the core curriculum, without all this nonsense, they sit and learn." Talk about back seat drivers. |
