We ready for whatever we will never change regardless the threats.Some people seem to think this is U.S. news
"Rabbis representing Britain’s main Orthodox communities have told the government that their schools cannot discuss LGBT-related issues with pupils."
The UK goyernment has been threatening to shut down yeshivos (males) and seminaries (females) for many years to no avail. This isn't new. And they're not merely threatening to defund the yeshivos/seminaries, they're threatening to close down any yeshiva/seminary that refuses to promote acts of toieivo to six-year-olds through twelve-year-olds as an equal and valid lifestyle (regardless of who funds the schools). The goyernment claims the right to dictate the educational curriculum and policy even for those who attended private yeshivos that receive zero goyernment funding. The Chassidishe and Litvishe dayanim have already ruled that schools should be closed rather than comply with this law. Judaism's stance on such an issue is that if the goyernment decrees and mandates Jews to break Jewish Law or tradition (and in particular, sexual immorality), then one must not comply no matter the penalty. Jews are obligated to follow Torah Law, not secular law. If the secular law happens to correspond, that's nice; if it doesn't, then so much the worse for it. If, as in the case here of giloy arayus, the civil law contradicts Torah Law, then a Jew has zero halochic obligation to follow it. Standing firm on the refusal of teaching Jewish children matters of LGBT is a Kiddush Hashem and so funding will find its way one-route or another.
They're not only Chassidish, many (nearly half) are Litvish; others are Sefardish. For this reason, the articles covering the matter use the umbrella term, 'Chareidi'.
There are several thousand Jewish tzdaka/charity societies in the UK alone, responsible for aiding much of the observant community. In any case, the yeshivos will close down before any Chassidishe/Litvishe community allows such toieivo into the secular curriculum. Should the schools close down, others will be open(ed). Yeshivos are accessible to the observant Jewish community the world over, and have been for the last two millennia since Shimon ben Shetach and Yehoshua ben Gamla instituted compulsory Jewish education.
There are enough government funded jewish schools the segments of the community are having forums to determine what the next step will be once the govt. drops the hammer.
Someone make a remixsmiley with the cap and curls.
The UK's most prominent dayanim/rabbaeim have already ruled what should be done, and that is for yeshivos and seminaries to be closed (many have) rather than comply with this law. Because these sanctions are not a life risk, it's not a case of pikuach nefesh where a Jew is permitted to violate Torah Law for the sake of preserving human life. Even so, there are three categories of isurim or prohibitions in which a Jew may not transgress regardless of life risk. These particular isurim are part and parcel of y'horag val yevor, meaning one is required to relinquish one's life rather than succumb to violating any one of the three however minor it may seem. The situation at hand, giloy araius, is one of the three. The point here is that one must not comply no matter the sanction. If schools are closed, so be it.
There is nothing in Jewish Law forbidding a Jew from using the internet with the exception of use on Shabbes. It is not completely treif, just highly inadvisable. Many rabbaeim feel that unchecked internet has been and continues to be a major contributing factor to moral decay given its abundant display of licentiousness and general immorality. According to the Torah, the internet itself is not necessarily treif (it's just electricity and computers talking), but what one decides to do on it could very well be. Thus many rabbaeim urge that one refrain from use or put a filter lest the loose-clicking lead to iniquity. Even in some of the most insular chassidus exceptions are given regarding a computer with internet access pertaining to making a living (assuming the business is kosher) but only with filtered internet.
No.
There was little to no concession at least in some chassidus hence the reason a dozen yeshivos were shut down. Nonetheless, the vaccination-objection issues were the result of personal choice, not halochic exemption. There is no basis in Jewish Law or tradition for non-immunization. Those deferring to the state's demands regarding this matter are not 'amend[ing]' any 'rules' of Jewish Law or tradition but rather of their own ideals and convictions. It is generally accepted that the Torah's precept to guard one's health and well-being includes taking necessary precautionary measures such as immunization. In fact, amid the measles brouhaha over 500 American Rabbaeim came out shortly before Pesach and signed a letter proclaiming immunization a chiav mi'd'oraiso, an obligation from the Torah.
These issues are a constant in every observant Jewish milieu. For the most part, the tension lies in the fact that Jews have NO obligation—moral, ethical or halochic—to obey secular rules and regulations should they violate the Torah (as is often the case).
ok so???Will they lose money or will something bad happen to them???
