Another Letter Concerning Bais Yaakov
B'H, Tammuz 5766
Unfortunately it has come to our attention that the
administration of one of the Bais Yaakov seminaries printed a
pamphlet containing a hetter to continue chas
vesholom the period of study (1-2 years) beyond 6th grade
[Editor's Note: This refers to the sixth year of study after
eighth grade]. We see this as a major blow to educating girls
to build the kosher Jewish homes of the future and a direct
violation of the fundamental idea of the original founders,
the geonim and tzaddikim who trembled in fear
[in their efforts to safeguard] the education and
shleimus of the generations.
Therefore our opinion, daas Torah, is that it is
prohibited for any administration or principal to take action
to advance this idea, and parents who keep Torah and mitzvos
must not come to terms with this very harmful stumbling block
to the future building of young ladies and kosher Jewish
homes.
Signing for the sake of Torah and Beis Yisroel,
Shmuel Halevi Wosner
