If I remember the guideline correctly the fear is that driving would be a distraction.<BR/>Is it possible that at the Yeshiva being discussed that driving is discouraged for that reason too, but someone outside the Yeshiva decided to characterize the Yeshiva's objection to "not being a ben Torah."Soccer Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16142724823098073038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-32495560809629312262008-12-24T09:56:00.000-05:002008-12-24T09:56:00.000-05:00Interesting.

My problems with this story were two-fold: the first is the issue you mentioned regarding a driver not being a "ben torah."<BR/><BR/>The other is that while I agree that schools have the right to enforce their policies, I think that using expulsion for this is sort of like using a bazooka to kill roaches. It's overkill and the damage it causes far outweighs any good that comes from it.<BR/><BR/>The WolfBrooklynWolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03994285019137108636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-56944233295475841212008-12-24T09:08:00.000-05:002008-12-24T09:08:00.000-05:00Thank you for the follow up.

My chassidush chavrusah from Chaim Berlin won't learn on nittul, but my shul's regular shiurim are not changed. What is it and why?Lakewood Falling Downhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14483392684657880997noreply@blogger.com
