“This Shabbos, my son was invited by his Yeshiva to a Shabbaton. And he went!”

How did he spend shabbos? Did he sleep all day? Did he join his classmates for davening, the meals or learning?

“On the one hand, he now says maybe he will go back to Yeshiva to finish, but on the other, he says he hates learning, and won’t continue to Yeshiva Gedola.”

Perhaps he needs a different Yeshiva, specifically, a different type of program. Perhaps an hr in the morning of a shiur of some sort, or learning one on one with someone to keep an anchor to torah and then he can pursue other things.

“I suggested he consider learning a trade instead, but he doesn’t feel he will fit in there either.”

Dare I say it. College?
