New York Judge Rules Jewish University Must Approve LGBT Student Club

'The decision permits courts to interfere in the internal affairs of religious schools, hospitals, and other charitable organizations.' Yeshiva University argued.

NEW YORK (LifeSiteNews) – The New York County Supreme Court ruled that Yeshiva University must formally recognize an LGBT student group on the grounds that the Jewish school is not a “religious corporation.”

Yeshiva University declares on its website that “our five core Torah values comprise our moral compass and guide us toward a better future,” and that the school is “[r]ooted in Jewish thought and tradition,” with one of its “foundations” being “the importance of enriching and enhancing Jewish life and growth both on our campuses and in the Jewish community at large.”

Accordingly, in 2020 it rejected the establishment of YU Pride Alliance as a recognized on-campus group, explaining that the “message of Torah on this issue is nuanced, both accepting each individual with love and affirming its timeless prescriptions. While students will of course socialize in gatherings they see fit, forming a new club as requested under the auspices of YU will cloud this nuanced message.”

Instead, the school announced a series of measures meant to address legitimate concerns of homosexual or gender-confused students without “clouding” the faith’s moral teachings, such as updating its sensitivity training, hiring a counselor with experience in LGBT issues, and creating a phone line to report harassment and bullying.

When the adulterers club is formed, will its acceptance also be mandated by a court?

Will they tell them “NO!”?

I hope so...this court has no power over them.

Way too kind, the pedophile club and the murderer's club will be next.

How about a bank robber club, or a pedophile club, or a wife beater club? How about a beastiality club, or a drunk driver club? Do you think the court would be so quick to approve of those?

The Sodomites decided that Lot had to send the two holy men visiting his household out to meet the demands of those Sodomites.

Do you remember what happened next?

Follow so many others. LEAVE New York. Yes, there is a time to make a stand. But, it isn’t when you are hopelessly outnumbered and there is an opportunity to vacate and later regroup for a well-planned and timed counter-offensive.
Then again, there is a time when you give up ground, choosing to isolate the area where you strategically concede and then plan an isolation strategy to choke off the enemy while minimizing your own casualties in the battle.

Likely many Yeshiva U. alumni applaud this depravity. Not even ‘The Rav’ Yosef Ber Soloveitchik could wish well to this depraved Judge Lynn Kotler, herself a graduate of Touro Law School, a Jewish religious school. A shanda fur de goyim!

Absolutely disgusting. This is an enlargement of the gays deliberately targeting a bakery owned by religious people to force them to bake them a wedding cake for their homosexual “wedding”. Kotler must be a self-hating Jew as well as a libtard.

Not the Orthodox. They are stalwart conservatives, by and large, and vote Republican. The rest of the lot, Conservatives and Reforms, tend Democrat. Yeshiva U. is Orthodox. You connect the dots.

Everyone “must formally recognize an LGBT student group”, or else! Freaks who demand recognition are just that, immature freaks.

The line must be drawn somewhere. This LGBLTQ or whatever WTF it is has to be stopped in its tracks.

For those unfamiliar with the NY Court naming conventions - the general trial level court in NY is the NY Supreme Court (for xyz County). So, this has an appellate route it can go in NY state courts of appeal before it could possibly enter the federal courts.

Something for me to research, to see what Orthodox Jewish sites are saying.

Yep- and Jewish law does allow for abortions.

Jewish law does not consider the fetus to be a being with a soul until it is born. It does not have personhood. Furthermore, before 40 days, some poskim, or deciders of Jewish law, have a low bar for allowing an abortion.

The Talmud, in Yevamos 69b, cites the view of Rav Hisda that “until forty days from conception the fetus is merely water. It is not yet considered a living being.”

Abortion ok, LGBT GROUPS, NO.
