Keep Your Opinions to Yourself

To the Editor:

I am writing to this esteemed publication in order to respond to several Rabbis and professors who were quoted in the last issue as taking definite positions on various issues. For example, Rav Tendler spoke against Reform Judaism, and Dror Barber said that the Senior trip was a success. I want to stress that these are individuals speaking only for themselves, and do not represent Yeshiva University. I hereby disavow all statements indicating an opinion or taking a position on any issue. As a Yeshiva, it is not our place to have opinions or positions. What would the goyim think?

Signed,
Norman Lamm
President and Rosh Yeshiva
