We, the undersigned students, faculty, alumni, and friends of Yeshiva University, deeply regret Yeshivas decision to deny tenure to Assistant Professor of Jewish Mysticism and Thought Alan Brill. Dr. Brill, a brilliant scholar of impeccable character and integrity, represents the highest ideals of Torah Umadda and academic excellence that comprise the mainstay of the Yeshiva experience. His departure would constitute an irreplaceable loss, not only for his current students, but for thousands of future students and for the broader Jewish community as well.

We respectfully urge Yeshivas leaders to reconsider their decision.

- What this decision comes down to is what Yeshiva wants to say about itself. Did it fire the professor who best represented its stated ideals? Doesn't that bode ill for its credibility as an edcational institution?

- No one else combines high-level erudition with penetrating social analysis. Dr. Brill does it, and does it well. Yeshiva University is losing a unique scholar who challenges and provokes thought in his students and the wider MO community. For shame!
