Members of the Degel Hatorah Moetzas Gedolei Torah Shlita met with the Gerre Rebbe Shlita, Kikar Shabbos News reports.

Also present during the meeting was askan Yitzchak Goldknoff, and they discussed various issues pertinent to the chareidi tzibur.

Kikar adds that among those attending were HaGaon Rav David Cohen and HaGaon HaRav Moshe Hillel Hirsch, raising the matter of studying healthcare and medicine, and their desire to include the appropriate studies in seminaries to eliminate the need for one to seek an academic degree outside the frum framework.

The rabbonim are calling for establishing this option in the Beis Yaakov and avoid having girls look outside the system, citing not everyone is cut out to become teacher. They would prefer the girls study these other topics in a framework approved by Gedolei Hador, both Litvish and Chassidish.

This would expand subjects available to girls in Beis Yaakov to include architecture and more and not just expanding to healthcare and medicine.
