Professor Against Trump in Impeachment Trial Spent Elul Zman in Lakewood

Harvard Law Professor Noah Feldman, a witness for the Democrats impeachment inquiry against president Trump, spent a few days in Lakewood yeshiva for Elul zman in 2013 at the Bais Aaron Bais Medrash . He tweeted a photo of the yeshiva (see below)  Though he has written articles critical of Yiddishkeit against frum Jews and the Modern orthodox schools he went to, he wrote a more favorable article in Bloomberg news about his experience in BMG  "Where Jewish Life Thrives in America"

But BMG matters. It matters for the future of Jews in America precisely because it matters for the future of Judaism in America. By privileging ideas and thought over identity, it proudly stakes out a position of genuine durability "Only 5 percent of BMG alumni become congregational rabbis. And 25 percent become educators. The rest are engaged in study for its own sake. They will enter the workforce when they are done; armed with skills of logic, formal reasoning and a type of critical thinking, they largely succeed after training in a professional field or going directly into business. "

  1. There was another person that was quite important for the Democrats who is Jewish......and Frum!!! Norm Eisen who is counsel to the Democrat's on the Judiciary Committee. He did most of the questioning for the Democrats yesterday. You can see he went for over 40 minutes straight at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNqvtBLVF8M

    He is a Former US ambassador to the Czech Republic and he is a frum shomer shabbos yid and a close buddy to Barack Obama (they were law school classmates)

  2. While it is true that Noah Feldman intermarried and had written critically about Frum life, he has since divorced his wife and become a public ally for many Frum people. You should update that post for accurate.
