Ohio: A-G blocks college from selling rare Jewish books

 https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/391419

Ohio’s attorney general obtained a court order this week prohibiting the financially strapped Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion from selling off books from its Cincinnati library, which holds a significant collection of rare and precious items from throughout Jewish history.

Attorney General Dave Yost’s request for a temporary restraining order came in response to recent reporting in Cincy Jewfolk, a local outlet that published an in-depth article in April on the struggles of the educational institution, a seminary and university affiliated with Judaism’s Reform movement.

  1. Inevitable that a lack of commitment to any religious obligations would lead to a lack of people just showing up to pay dues.

    1. Reminds me of how the best response to OTD parents complain that their kids are rebelling by returning to the religion they left behind is that their kids are following in their footsteps exactly by rejecting their parents.
