Hebrew College to Admit, Ordain Rabbinical Students Whose
Partners Aren’t Jewish
Hebrew College will begin admitting and ordaining rabbinical students in inter-
faith relationships, according to new admissions standards revealed on Jan. 31,
JTA.org reported.

The decision makes the pluralistic seminary outside of Boston the second
major rabbinical school in the United States to do away with rules barring
students from dating or marrying non-Jews. The Reconstructionist Rabbinical
College in Wyncote fi rst did so in 2015.

Hebrew College’s decision comes as rabbinical schools compete over a shrink-
ing pool of applicants and after decades of rising rates of intermarriage.

Rabbi Sharon Cohen Anisfeld, Hebrew College’s president, said the decision
came amid a broad revision of the seminary’s “guiding principles for admission
and ordination.”

Ohio Investigating a Neo-Nazi Home-schooling Network
Teaching Children to Love Hitler
Ohio’s Department of Education is investigating a home-schooling network that
claims public schools are run by “Zionist scum,” teaches kids to say “Sieg Heil” in
class and instructs fellow parents not to give their kids “Jewish media content,”
JTA.org reported.

These are the more than 2,500 members of the “Dissident Homeschool
Network,” a channel on the social network messaging app Telegram. The “dissi-
dents” are a group of neo-Nazi parents who share home-schooling lesson plans
extolling the virtues of Hitler and white nationalism — while relying on a popular
social media account run by a Jewish woman to provide ammunition for their
hatred. The founders of the group were recently unmasked by a hate group
monitor as a couple in rural Upper Sandusky, Ohio.

“There is absolutely no place for hate-fi lled, divisive and hurtful instruction
in Ohio’s schools, including our state’s home-schooling community,” Stephanie
Siddens, the interim superintendent of public instruction at Ohio’s education
department, told Vice News.

The French government updated its plan for fi ghting antisemitism and racism,
which will require teachers to receive training on the topic and all French school-
children to visit the site of an antisemitic or racist incident, JTA.org reported.

Those visits could include Holocaust sites, and roving exhibitions about
antisemitism and racism will also be set up in schools, France’s Prime Minister
Elisabeth Borne announced on Jan. 29.

The plan was adopted in 2015 but is required to be updated every three years.
