Reply To: What's the Idea with College?

SaysMe- Yes, I would pick a Jewish psychologist. But this Jewish psychologist had to go to college first. Here is my problem. If this Jew goes to college, eveyone is looking down on him. They will ask, “why isn’t he in Yeshiva?” But the moment they need a psychologist they would go running after him… (Double standards?)

I say that yes people’s first priority is to go to Yeshiva. But if someone decides he wants to become a doctor, lawyer, etc. and go to college, then people should congratulate him. He is going to start learning to provide a service for you, your community… Start naming a couple of your doctors, lawyers, teachers, and see how many of them are Jewish. I’m sure you are thanking them so you wouldn’t have to go to a goy and you can deal with someone you trust.
