Syag: I’m convinced. #cancelbeinhaz #hashtagban #thanksforthededication
Seriously/not seriously, Bein Hazzmanim as a concept obviously needs a revamp. In it’s current state, it seems to reflect the obvious fallacy that regular yeshiva life is somehow a state of living one needs a break from.
And furthermore, by having the bochurim going home to see their parents, it insinuates the parents’ time (law of averages dictating that the majority of them are themselves not in full time learning) is somehow more valuable than that of the bochurim, who of course spend every waking moment poring over a gemora.
Reversing this process by having parents bring themselves, and their extended family, to the yeshiva to visit the bochurim for the period of beinhaz, would more accurately reflect the respective value of their roles in this temporary world. With the status quo, we really must consider what message we are sending to the next generation.
