I never
understood why the Haifa Technion, Israel’s technical university, needed a full
time paid rabbi. Finally, I know:
The
Technion’s rabbi has published a ban, forbidding Jewish students from entering
the student’s union club house and eating there, as a Christmas tree had been
put up in the building. This pagan symbol that allows a Christian religious
presence in the midst of the Technion, is unacceptable, says the rabbi.
We do not need rabbis, priests or imams in our universities. Students who
need spiritual guidance can go to their own synagogue/ church/ mosque/ psychiatrist/ or voodoo
practitioner.
