Why do people feel the need to try and put limits on what makes up the Yeshiva World? And why even use that term? I think the Torah world would be a much better one to use.
I remember when I graduated high school, one of the boys spoke about what the purpose of a yeshiva is. He said that we could learn Torah outside a yeshiva – get a chavrusah, and learn! He concluded that the reason is to form a bond with a Rebbe. So if you want to define “the Yeshiva World”, I’d say it’s anywhere that you could develop that relationship. I’ve written many times that I learned in Darchei Torah. The bond I formed with R’ Bender shlita and other Rabbeim continues to today.
The Torah world , IMO, encompasses anyone who follows the Torah. It’s more about people, not institutions.
