You are bringing terrible chillul Hashem to the world. You are NOT a Yeshiva. How dare you evil people attempt to keep that title.

Please limit the chilul hashem. In extreme situations we are taught to take off the Kippah. Please take yours off. Perhaps rename as Machon University?

Rav Avigdor Miller on the Worst Enemies of Society Q: Who decided that Jewish gays, gays who might possibly even study Torah, are more deserving of our insults than Jewish thieves or Jewish ignorami or Jews who don’t observe kashrus or Shabbos? And why are they less welcomed into the Orthodox synagogue than other sinners? A: Why are Jewish gays less welcome than others into the Orthodox synagogue? But before we go on, we have to make one little correction. “Gays who study Torah.” Gays don’t study Torah. It’s the same as saying that a mafia man is sitting and studying Mesilas Yesharim and shedding tears in his love of Hakadosh Baruch Hu and in his yearning to come closer to him. In the meantime, he’s shoving in some slugs in his automatic and getting ready to go out for business. And the mafia man is closer to the Mesilas Yesharim than the gay is close to Torah. Torah and gay are two extremes. If you open the Torah, the Torah says that anybody who commits homosexuality should be put to death. And it states that the death is skilah, which means the most extreme form of capital punishment. So a gay is not going to study that. And if he does study it, it’s only for the purpose of speaking against it, not for the purpose of respecting it. So therefore, gays and Torah have no connection at all. Now to the question itself. There are two levels of human behavior. I’m speaking now in general. One is a ritual level, a Torah level; it depends on technicalities that are taught to you in Torah. They are holy technicalities. It’s kedushah. It’s kodesh kedoshim. These are the mitzvos of the Torah. Without the Torah, you wouldn’t know about them at all. Many things; you wouldn’t know about tefillin without Torah. You might not even know about Shabbos without Torah. That’s one level. There’s another level that has nothing to do with Torah, but it has to do with human reason. And that is a level of common sense behavior that mankind in its

The Torah strictly states that a man shall not sleep with a man. Same for a women also a man shall not wear women s clothes. For a university that teaches Torah values and hashem s word this is an,absolute disgrace. Having a ,LGBTQ organization on or off campus. This is saying that what the Torah teaches is a lie. They need to use a different name instead of yeshiva, especially since this. To be an orthodox university.

I believe all Totah abiding staff must walk off their jobs or they should ask daas Torah for guidance.

Very disappointed that the school's culture has decidedly declined in this fashion but very glad my child, who visited the school, decided not to attend so as to obtain a Torah oriented Education, which it appears YU no longer provides.

Based on the current decisions made by the University I sign this petition to remove the word "Yeshiva" from its name, as the University can no longer uphold and maintain critical spiritual safety to our youth who attend the University under the guise Yeshiva. So no student may think nor dictate that the norm of a Yeshiva is to support what goes contrary to our holy scriptures.
