Yeshiva University

Yeshiva University is a terrible institution. For all those who are confused about its merits, I will break it down clearly for you, then I will go on and discuss a little bit about "the Yeshiva University student"

1. Yeshiva University gave an award to a vicious anti-semite FOR being an anti-semite in order to gain recognition from the goyim and get their respect (it did neither, don't worry)
2. The have produced numerous rabbis who are pathetic people and have no knowledge of the real world, including, but not limited to Rabbi Mark Scheiner, Rabbi Avi Weiss, the dual personality of Rabbi Michael Broyde and Rabbi Hershel Goldwasser, and of course our very own Father Riskin (Rabbi Shlomo Riskin)!
3. They are Americans first, and Jews second. This means that when American values clash with Jewish values (which does happen), the American ones take precedence
4. I have heard many ridiculous statements from various YU graduates on the "Torah" they learned such as "the Rambam is an atheist"

Now these pasty faced YU-goers, all trying to buy the biggest phone possible, racing to see who can get a phone the size of an iPad first, actually think they're cool. As they strut around with their hexagonal wire-rimmed spectacles, humming way too loudly the latest stupid Maccabeats iteration (which only reinforces stereotypes that Jews are a bunch of weak little prepubescent ginger haired, freckle-faced losers), with their perfectly groomed sideburns, over gelled hair, they don't realize that they are only considered "cool" by a very small minority of Jews and by zero non-Jews. Everyone else looks at them with apprehension and a queasy sense of unease. If they took off those Ray-Ban aviators for a second, they would probably realize so as well. For those poor souls, if they want to keep living in their alternative reality, they could simply move to Teaneck or the Five-Towns, where they'd feel right at home.

In order for these people to make themselves feel more comfortable for those short periods of time that they have to leave Washington Heights and actually live in the real world, they feel compelled to make themselves seem more accepted by handing out special awards to anti-Semites. Their logic is, if we give them awards, they accept us in the real world a bit more. Obviously acting like normal human beings never crossed their minds. Due to this reality, no one outside YU, Jew or otherwise, gets along with YU students. YU's "torah" (lol) isn't respected in the yeshiva world and their "maddah"* is laughed upon by secular universities.

All in all, if you want to limit your social circle to Yeshiva University graduates and have no life outside of these people who don't understand either Torah or maddah, then I guess your mind is made up to go to a sub-par institution where skinny pathetic guys hoard their 16 year old virginal Stern girlfriends. Until it comes time to protect them on the street; then they're out of there, racing back to their little alternative reality in Washington Heights, where there are only rainbows, unicorns and fluffy pillows.
