Rush to Judgement

To the so-called Editors:

I am forced to to write to you after being pained by your extremely judgemental article about the email death threats. I am usually very offended by what I read in your "newspaper," but this time you stepped beyond even your low and immoral standards.

In an article which is supposed to be objective, you should not have rushed to condemn the student who sent the letters. Doesn't the Torah teach us "hocheach tochiach," rebuke your fellow Jew? Why are the "professors" at "Yeshiva University" s o afraid of receiving mussar? My Rebbe once told me that every Jew should follow the model of Pinchas: if you see someone violating the will of the Ribono Shel Olam, never doubt yourself - kill him before it's too late. The "Rabbis" in "YU " should be greatful that this young tzaddik showed restraint. I would have popped them.

It is my sincere hope that the entire YU faculty will turn towards God and follow in the time-honored ways of the tzdikim.

With Love,

Reb Pinchas Altercocker III
