A Defense of Touro (NCSY’s Favorite “College”)
Some chevra-man blogger named Jacob Da Jew doesn’t like the fact that some of us are trashing Touro College, NCSY’s favorite substitute for an actual college education.
He says it is an “outstanding institution.� Why? Because he and his wife and some other frummies went there.
This Jew says,
“Unfortunately, there always is the losers, the scumbags that have ruin it for us all.�
Well, there certainly is losers everywhere but you cannit blame Touro cuz a fews peoples dont take there English as a second language class serious.*
This Jacob Jew person also notes,
“Our community and way of life is substantially better than religious ultra-orthodox people living in Israel.�
And what a great selling point to liberal and secular Jewish parents this is. At least your kids will be less poor and ignorant that the right-wing ultra-Orthodox haredim in Israel. How moderate is that?
A debate about grammar and writing style ensues in the comments section, one of the truly saddest cases of the blind leading the blind I have seen since the haredi Internet ban took place.
To send your child to Touro, please contact your local JSU “cool advisor.â€? Because Touro is so competitive, but NCSY can make it happen. Oh, yes they can. Because it’s all in the relationship! Remember, for NCSY, all frum paths lead to Touro. Well, too many of them anyway.

i love how you make fun of his spelling and grammer but you wrote,
“but you cannit blame Touro cuz a fews peoples dont take there English as a second language class serious”
“At lest your kids will be less poor and ignorant that the right-wing ultra-Orthodox haredim in Israel. How moderate is that?”
Do you mean “people” “cannot” and “at least”?
lol!!! talk about the blind leading the blind
Italics were added for your benefit, as well as the benefit of other Touro scholars.
FYI, its Jacob Da Jew, DK. Da Jew. Get it?
Hey, its a free country, bash away.
BTW, I wasn’t even aware that NCSY was pushing kids to go to Touro.
Jacob,
Hey, don’t feel bad you didn’t know. Jewish parents don’t even know that it is NCSY who is running their Jewish “student” clubs in their public schools!
Hahahahahaha!!! Stupid liberal and secular Jewish parents! NCSY got you good!
But I thought NCSY stands for national coalition for secular youth…
ncsy doesnt….DK just wants u to think it does. ncsy pushes a lot more kids to YU and Stern and doesn’t really discourage non-jews schools
Danny,
That is incorrect. In fact, YU only became an option 2 years ago with the fledgling Mechinah program for Jews from a secular/liberal background.
This was not an option at all before. NCSY and Yeshiva College were both happy to only offer NCSY the inferior Touro as an option.
For decades.
If nothing else, Touro’s acupuncture program is well considered one of the best in the country by acupuncture scholars that’s i’ve met as far away as Colorado. So maybe it’s at least approaching some legitimacy, if not excellence.

That’s nice. I’m sure parents who were hoping their kid would go to a solid, top rated liberal arts college will be thrilled that Touro’s acupuncture program is so well respected in the herbal healing community when their kid is recruited their by the kiruv hemeishes.
