Ultra-Orthodox Jewish rabbis have banned women from going to university, The Independent has learned.

The strict Satmar sect issued the decree, seen by The Independent, warning that university education for women is “dangerous”. Written in Yiddish, the decree warns: “It has lately become the new trend that girls and married women are pursuing degrees in special education. Some attend classes and others online. And so we’d like to let their parents know that it is against the Torah.

“We will be very strict about this. No girls attending our school are allowed to study and get a degree. It is dangerous. Girls who will not abide will be forced to leave our school. Also, we will not give any jobs or teaching position in the school to girls who’ve been to college or have a degree.

"We have to keep our school safe and we can’t allow any secular influences in our holy environment. It is against the base upon which our Mosed was built.”

The decree was issued from the sect’s base in New York and will apply to followers of the faith group around the world.

Okay, Rabbi; Where does it say in the Pentateuch that women and girls should remain stupid?

Shut up! Look up Deborah and Jael! Look up Esther and Judith! Smart women! Awesome women!

Soon, your ilk will die out while the majority of Jews....who aren't weirdos like you and embrace modern values and have adapted their Jewish faith and heritage to it....will keep on thriving and multiplying.

A religion that does not adapt, dies.

Your sect and the Haredis are both on their death knell.

WOMEN ARE EQUAL TO MEN! ELOHIM IS BOTH MOTHER AND FATHER! ACCEPT IT!!!

See the two 'H'/HEIs in YHVH? Those are feminine. The Tetragram means "Father, Mother, Daughter, Son". Elohim is a feminine-gendered (and plural) word. Shekhinah is The Divine Feminine.

Banning Jewish women from attending college would have deprived the world of four Nobel laureates in medicine and thousands of other Jewish doctors, including my daughter-in-law. Every day, they practise that which in Judaism takes precedence over all other principles: pikuach nefesh, the saving of life. Bear that in mind next time you're in the emergency room.

@ Piling On

That's in part due to Satmar's trenchant anti-Zionism.

@ Stormfront Boy

Oy vey, the goyim women schmucks don't need no edumacation.

I know Jewish characters talk like that on Stormfront, but a) Satmar is saying that the women who are not goyim shouldn't be educated at university and b) "women schmucks" is a physical impossibility.

It seems that John (the first on this page, not the last) has already reached the level of promoting the modern version of the blood libel, so you'll need to do better than this.

@Piling on:

Why? The 'Catholics aren't christian' meme had it's origin 500 years ago, it hasn't slowed down much.
Anti Semitism has also hitched a ride on other causes such as civil rights. The There was a southern saying in the 60s that 'jew lawyers from jew York city are coming down here to stir up the niggers because they hate Christians.

This dispute was over white supremecy which had gotten mixed up in red state Christian religion. When civil rights enforcers arrived to enforce this law, to the redstaters this was an attack on Christianity itself. Because some of the enforcers were jew lawyers the civil rights conflict powered up the traditional jews killed god and therefore want to destroy christianity.

Also, the jewish attitude is that the world and everyone in it exists to benefit jews. They don't try to enforce their sharia on anyone else the way Christians and muslims do
but they swindle and cheat goyim with as much authorization and enthusiasm as muslims chop heads of infidels.

1) Just a word to the wise: the adjective for "Jew" is "Jewish," unless you wish to sound antisemitic, which "jew lawyers" does.
2) I would like to think you had just continued in the same vein as your Southern saying without distinguishing your views from those of white supremacists. BTW, this goes back long before the 1960s: you might read something about Leo Frank, who was lynched in Georgia in 1915 because he was a Jew. Besides African Americans, Jews, Catholics and Native Americans were also the subject of lynchings.
3) People have raised questions about the last paragraph. Maybe it's an extension of the ideas about the way Southerners think and you don't share those beliefs. Maybe not. Alternatively, you can justify why you believe that Jews, as a rule, are racist swindlers who think that everyone else is there to serve them, providing plenty of evidence while being able to refute the multitudes of examples of Jews who have acted selflessly toward non-Jews, showing nothing but generosity of time, effort, spirit and funds. Alternatively, you might explain that this is antisemitic drivel that doesn't reflect your views or who you are. The other option is to take it in good stride when it shows up on RSTDT.
