The Rabbinical Alliance of America—Igud HaRabbonim, representing over 950 American rabbis—applauds Mayor Eric Adams’ support of the yeshiva curriculum. When asked at a press conference on December 29, 2021 whether he would bend to demands made by certain individuals whose agenda is to destroy the Yeshiva educational curriculum, Mayor Adams responded, “I visited several yeshivas during the campaign, and what I do know is that those who are there – who are teaching the students – the literature that I looked at is supportive of a well-rounded, quality education,” the at-the-time Mayor-elect said. “The small number of yeshivas that we were having problems in should not be the message for the large number of yeshivas that are doing the right thing,” he continued. “I am going to give support through my Chancellor and my office to give support to all our educational facilities. I’m not going to get caught up in a dialogue of charter schools, public schools, yeshivas – everyone will receive the support they need to develop the full potential of our children.” [...Click headline above for more...]
