ISRAEL (VINnews) — A group of leading Zionist rabbis have paskened that a biological female student may only attend a girls’ class, regardless of how she “identifies”.

The Rabbis sent a letter to the faculty of a religious public school system regarding a girl who had been placed in the boys’ class at a religious school in Givat Shmuel.
The letter said that “Halacha does not recognize artificial changes and forbids this behavior and the dressing of a boy as a girl or a girl as a boy…Imaginations do not change reality.”
Although it may seem obvious that Halacha considers the student a female, sadly in the modern era, society has devolved to the point where some may find it surprising.
The letter was signed by: Rabbi Chaim Druckman, Rabbi Dov Lior, Rabbi Yaakov Ariel, Rabbi Chaim Steiner, Rabbi Eitan Eisman, Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu, Rabbi David Chai HaCohen, Rabbi Uri Cohen, Rabbi Elyakim Levanon, Rabbi Zalman Melamed, Rabbi Ya’akov Filber, Rabbi Isser Klonsky, Rabbi Aryeh Stern, Rabbi Mordechai Sternberg, Rabbi Yaakov Shapira and Rabbi Yosef Artziel.
According to Arutz Sheva, the letter said: “The girl must be placed in the girls’ class. We must be careful not to harm her and to treat her with patience. The Halacha does not recognize artificial changes and forbids this behavior and the dressing of a boy as a girl or a girl as a boy. Therefore, the girl must join a girls’ class. The role of a religious school is to observe the Halacha and act according to it.”
It is appropriate “to be careful of harming that girl. One must help her with patience, to recognize the identity in which she was created. Imaginations do not change reality, the wonderful creation, as Hashem created her as a girl and with the right to grow up as a woman and a mother.”
“In the public atmosphere in which we find ourselves, it is said even more strongly: Blessed are we, how good it is that we follow the path of the Torah, which protects us from erroneous ideas and enlightens our eyes to recognize the straight path.”
The letter concludes by saying that initially it would have been appropriate to address the matter in private with the family, “but since the problem is in the public domain there is no escape from addressing it in an authorized public way.”
I was a male captive in a female body…….but then my mother gave birth to me.
Our Torah doesn’t change with the times, and doesn’t recognize a ‘new normal’. What a sad, sad world we live in that Rabbanim even have to come out and say this to so called frum people.
Hashem help us raise normal, healthy adults!
I don’t get it.
Can a man become a woman? Cane a woman become a man? can a man become a dog? can a table become a man?
Oh ok the reason i don’t get it because i went to a Hasidic School where they don’t teach biology.
Those of you who went to Hasidic Yeshivas and want to understand how a man can become a woman should contact Der Sturmer aka NY Times they should investigate how come Yeshivas don’t teach kids degenerate subjects.
We need a Posek to tell us that ?!?
And some holier than thou non chasidisher think that that the SED won’t push this garbage on their yeshivos..
Yentil. Barbara Streisand would be proud.

Sounds like common sense that Kathy fjcc hochul lacks
so who would have thought different
You are as meshugah as the girl who wants to play dress up and dress up like a boy.
It didn’t work for me neither. I identified as a woman and tried to gat a job at the local mikvah, also no luck. However, they did not ask a shaila to the Rabbonim
Zionist is not Orthodox. That is an oxymoron.
If she claims she is a boy… how will the yeshiva prove otherwise? Where will the robbonim conduct the physical exam? Will it be done with her consent?
