Here is a brief summary of some of the questions addressed in the
session: FACING THE ISSUES WITH RAV LEIBOWITZ, RAV PAM, RAV
SVEI AND RAV PERLOW AT THE TORAH UMESORAH CONVENTION 1985
(YIDDISH AND ENGLISH) First group of Shailos: Rav Pam 1) Is it
permissible to embarrass a student in public if he will end up
learning or behaving better? 2) Is it permissible to punish a
group of students if they will not tell the rebbe who did an
avlah in the classroom? 3) Can a rebbe force a talmid to tell on
another? Next group of Shailos: Starts at 27 minutes. Rav Svei
4) How crucial is it that a yeshiva elementary school teach Navi?
5) At what age should gemara first be taught? Next group of
Shailos are skipped until Question 14 at 40:20, Rav Perlow 14)
Should all Limudei Chol subjects be taught with the hashkafa of
Ma Rabu Ma’asecha Hashem? Rav Pam 15) Are Yeshivos allowed
to disallow students whose parents are able to pay tuition but
refuse to do so, from attending class? 55 minutes- Rav Svei
16) What are the responsibilities of an out of town community
wherein there is only one school how should the more frum manage
their relationships with the non-frum as to not compromise, yet
still maintain a full-fledged frum school? Rav Leibowitz
1:03 19) Is it more preferable to mix two classes so that the
range of kishron and abilities varies greatly or to divide the
classes according to ability thereby risking the feeling of the
talmidim in the “lower” class feeling that they are
second class? Rav Pam at 1:09 20) Is there a heter for a rebbe or
morah to leave during the school year for a week or so to observe
other Rebbeim or to go to Russia. The rationale is that they
would come back as a more experienced or well-rounded
professional?
