School principal angry after rabbi give students free lunch and speech

Many high school students enjoyed free lunch given to them by a local rabbi and while they were eating they listened to a lecture from the rabbi.

Students at Great Neck North High School can hang out at fast food restaurants, go to the houses without supervision or do almost anything they want for lunch. But listening to a Torah lecture in an Orthodox Jewish synagogue should require parental consent, according to the school.

Great idea... I am Jewish so I like the good rabbi’s idea. Christan churches should do the same. Find a hall nearby the school or even a nearby park and give the kids a solid lunch and a religious talk too... some solid religious values

Principal here is laughable and so are the stupid Jewish orgs in town because schools are always trying to spirit their young charges away for some homo indoctrination

Ah..but incarcerated prisoners have rights to prayer rugs in the facility-and GUARDS don`t forget guards.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Wow! You have perfectly described our community's local kiddie prison ( Opps! “public school”)
(Absolutely no sarcasm intended.)

Bit different when the students are herded into auditoriums and forced to hear the rants of some guest liberal speaker the bureaucrats deemed appropriate.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Ah! The government anointed GODLESS secular humanist preachers.

No government school in this nation is religiously neutral because a religiously neutral education is IMPOSSIBLE! Freepers! Remember that when you fill out the check for your property taxes. Most of that money is going to PREACH GODLESS SECULAR HUMANISM to captive kids.

Sounds like an anti Semitic principal here.....oh wait its OK for libs to be anti Semitic....

Hmm... Bernard Kaplan, the anti-Semite. Sounds unlikely, but is probably true. I suspect Bernie is a Reform Jew, which would explain his response to the Orthodox rabbi. If this had been some other synagogue more in line with his secular/leftist beliefs, he wouldn't have bothered to notify the parents.

BTW, it looks like Kaplan backed off, after the ADL's local attorneys spoke with him.

At least it wasn't this rabbi who gave the dvar Torah. Otherwise the principal probably would have lost it.


Will: What pray, sir, is a circumcision?
Rabbi: Oh, it's the latest rage. The ladies love it.
Will: Well, I want one.
Little John: Oh, I'll take two.
Ahchoo: Hey, put me down, too. I get one.
Robin Hood: I'm game. How's it done?
Rabbi: It's a snap.
[demonstrates with a carrot and a miniature guillotine]
I take my little machine, I take your little thing. See? I put it into this little hole here...
[releases the blade, cutting the end off the carrot]
and nip the tip.
Merry Men: [Collective groan]
Rabbi: Who's first?
Little John: I changed me mind.
Ahchoo: I forgot, man, I already got one.
Blinkin: Question.

I have heard of a Leftist, Jewish organization in Israel that tries to prevent secular, Jewish children from becoming Orthodox. Maybe this principal is a member!

It’s nice to see the ADL gave Bernie the principal a good smackdown. Now if we could get Bernie Goetz down there to teach a one hour firearms safety course during lunch! LOL!

The principal would probably have a conniption!

He certainly is of like mind, even if he doesn't know the secret handshake.
