<p style="font-size: 13.0026px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: #333333;">R' Dr' Rakefet talks a lot about scientific judaism. He misses an important point. I heard this from a top professor at Hebrew U. [who wears a kippa and is a yeshiva graduate]. I paraphrase: In university we don't care if the students keep halacha or not, believe in G-d or not, believe in Torah or not, marry Jewish or not. All that matters is knowledge. </p> <p style="font-size: 13.0026px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: #333333;"> </p> <p style="font-size: 13.0026px; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: #333333;">In yeshiva of course the attitude is that if one doesn't keep mitzvos and believe then all of his learning is meaningless. </p>
