 FailedMessiah.com: Yeshiva Torah Temimah To Write Sefer Torah
The Rambam called for the burning of a sefer torah written by an apikoros because of the lack of proper intention to be m’kadaish shaim shomayim as the sefer torah was written.
Thus, such a sefer torah, although on the surface identical with a kosher sefer torah, lacks kedusha and as the living embodiment of tumah and sheker its very existence stands in contradiction to everything the Torah represents.
While Yeshiva and Mesivta Torah Temimah might appear at first glance to be a yeshiva similar to other yeshivas, it is in fact the yeshiva equivalent of a sefer torah written by a min.

The contribution of Bernard Revel (1885-1940) and Yeshiva College to the establishment of Orthodoxy in America is documented by A. Rothkoff in Bernard Revel (1981).
Rabbi Abraham Kahane-Shapiro, the chief rabbi of Kovno, Lithuania; Chief Rabbi Abraham Kook of Palestine; Rabbi Moshe Epstein, the dean of the Slobodka Yeshiva; Rabbi A. Bloch of Telshe; Rabbi J.

The Yeshiva could no longer claim to be the only advanced American yeshiva, although it was the largest and most important." Rothkoff points out that Revel's course of action was no longer the only alternative for American Orthodoxy, and those who did not comprehend or approve of Revel's innovations could support other American Torah institutions.

Attended by the students, parent body, relatives, friends, dignitaries, and the ‘chashuva’ Board of Directors of the mainstream Yeshiva Torah Vodaath, the celebration consisted of heartwarming speeches, food, music, dancing, and the mezuzah-hanging.
With the yeshiva in ‘working order’ and with all the administrative duties having fallen on my shoulders, I was quite overwhelmed, to say the least.
Instead of pacing hospital corridors and processing CSE (Committee on Special Education) documents, I was now (the yeshiva was closed for the summer, with its students having all left for summer camp) fully involved in the simcha preparations.

The yeshiva at the heart of a sex abuse scandal that has rocked the Orthodox community of Flatbush has pledged to take a series of steps to protect children from sexual molestation, including forbidding teachers from being alone with students and hiring a counselor and ombudsman to hear any future complaints.

 HaMaayan / The Torah Spring - Parashat Vayikra
R' Gedalya Schorr z"l (Rosh Yeshiva of Torah Vodaath in Brooklyn) elaborates: The Targum / Aramaic translation of the verse in Yishayah that Rashi quotes-"And one called unto another"--is, "They receive from each other." G-d's affection for Moshe resulted from the fact that G-d received from Moshe as well as gave to him.
Rambam z"l writes that when Hashem gave the Torah, He did not attempt to wean His people entirely from the idolatrous ways with which they were familiar.
According to the former, the inclusion in the Torah of a sacrificial service indicates the lowliness of man; according to the latter, it indicates G-d's love for man.
