Determination Expressed by Chinuch Atzmai Leaders
By Yechiel Sever
"We are operating out of a deep sense of responsibility resting on our shoulders regarding the imperative to staunchly uphold pure Torah education with no compromises, in accordance with the instructions and decisions clearly set forth along every step of the way by our rabbonim, gedolei Yisroel shlita, based on genuine concern for the pure education of yaldei Yisroel as well as the responsibility and caution required to ensure the existence and flourishing of the holy endeavor, Chinuch Atzmai," said Rabbi Tzvi Baumel, commenting on the controversy surrounding the Beis Yaakov school in Emanuel.
"With a profound sense of responsibility for the pure, no-compromise education of the entire student body as well as the future of Chinuch Atzmai, we are proceeding with our efforts while avoiding the reckless reactions and declarations in the mainstream media, which are very harmful," continued Rabbi Baumel. "Constant concern for the education of yaldei Yisroel and the future of Chinuch Atzmai are the two goals which guide us along the way, in accordance with the resolute directives issued by gedolei Yisroel shlita, to ensure the perpetuation of pure education founded on the age-old Jewish tradition, while standing up to various contemporary threats and attempts to undermine our efforts — avoiding all compromise and passing trends.
"As always, we are carefully adhering to instructions issued by maranan verabbonon based on these goals, and as we were very clearly instructed by Maran HaRav Yosef Sholom Eliashiv and the Rosh Yeshiva HaRav Aharon Yehuda Leib Shteinman shlita, who delineated every step taken by Chinuch Atzmai, and in this matter we are adhering to the spirit of the remarks we heard from the Admor of Slonim.
"As opposed to irresponsible figures surrounding various media entities seeking only to grab headlines and secure a media soapbox to use against the holy Chinuch Atzmai enterprise, we are working unbendingly at the behest and under the full guidance of gedolei Yisroel shlita, who use their far-reaching vision to set forth the path to be taken by Chinuch Atzmai, in order to strengthen this holy educational project, where thousands of yaldei Yisroel are taught in accordance with the educational wellsprings of our rabbonim.
"It goes without saying that the parents of students everywhere act in accordance with the instructions of gedolei Yisroel, just as Chinuch Atzmai has done for years, since its inception."
