But by "unauthorized and superfluous" he probably means that the yeshivah has not bent the knee to his "National Association of Jewish Charities" by applying for its "authorization", and that it teaches Torah, which he considers superfluous. <br /><br />His complaint about the grammar is misplaced. "Yeshivas RAE" could be taken to imply that it was RAE's actual yeshivah, which would not be true. "Yeshivah RAE" means it's a yeshivah that's named after RAE, In Ivrit it would be called "Yeshivah al shem RAE". Cf Yeshiva Chofetz Chaim, Yeshiva Or Elchonon, etc. I think YeshivaS R YItzchok Elchonon is the anomaly.Milhousenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12600498.post-82488697761238892802013-12-23T10:11:34.847-05:002013-12-23T10:11:34.847-05:00I'd love to know what he means by "superf...I'd love to know what he means by "superfluous institutions".<br />I'd also love to excoriate him for his phrasing "The Jews of American", unless that was in style then.Shraginoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12600498.post-79171841519787925592013-12-22T05:53:13.778-05:002013-12-22T05:53:13.778-05:00Ah, Judaism, like it used to be!Ah, Judaism, like it used to be!Yerachmiel Lopinnoreply@blogger.com
