Orthodoxy On Campus

Gil Perl and Yaakov Weinstein have authored a pamphlet titled “A Parent’s Guide to Orthodox Assimilation on University Campuses,” highlighting the challenges Orthodox teens face in university environments that are hostile to the worldview of the yeshivas they previously attended. Perl and Weinstein express reasonable concerns about professors - even of Jewish Studies - hostile to Torah beliefs, Hillels that lean toward the non-Orthodox movements, and the hedonism that pervades campus life.

Not surprisngly, The Jewish Week has seized on the Perl/Weinstein pamphlet to provide a long, sensationalist article headlined "Debauchery U," accompanied by a photo of college students drinking. The latest article supplements previous masterpieces by The Jewish Week, including but not limited to, the dating practices of Orthodox singles, mikvah ladies, chumashim in shuls, and kiddush clubs, as well as suggestions that female Orthodox singles frustrated by their newly married friends' social distance are in fact closeted lesbians.
