ubiquitin: I had no clue that was actually a thing. Interesting. I know someone who lived in a fraternity house and the kitchen was open 24/7 because guys get hungry and the cooks always had extra stuff for them to nosh on after hours.
Are they at least allowed to keep some snacks in their rooms in a mini-fridge or something? I guess yeshivot differ in their policies. If guys are going to great lengths to eat, it sounds like they have a legitimate need for more food.
I cannot imagine them doing that if they weren’t genuinely hungry. If it was their own home then they would be able to open the fridge at night. I hope the policies change to allow more food access.
Growing people need to eat. Especially men. If they live there, then why not give them access to food? Is it a kosher issue?
There is a large space between not having access to the kitchen and not having food
