Just wondering if anyone knows what about this news site has to do with Yeshiva? It doesn’t seem to reflect torah values and is often home to lashon harah sinas chinam and other issurim. As well as daios kosvos and goyishkeit!
Nothing. That name was only chosen for marketing purposes. They want to target that demographic.
I wrote about this BeArichus. But it’s about branding.
Yabia, when I saw on the front page of the CR that you made the last comment on this thread, I opened it up to make sure that you wrote “This is the most important topic for Jews in 2024?”. I wanted to make sure you weren’t using 2023 anymore.
UJM: Thanks.
UJM: please be me’ayen in the thread about wishing goyim Happy New Year where I say:
“Why must you rehash this topic over and over. Like honestly, do yidden have nothing else to worry about in 2024 except saying “happy holidays”? Gosh, too much time on your hands.”“Here we have a site which is the farthest thing from olam yeshivot v’ain kan makom lihaarich and call it yeshiva world…”
Actually, in the virtual velt, this is probably the CLOSEST THING we will ever have to “Olam Hayeshivos” (assuming such a homogeneous world exists) since those who are legitimate card-carrying members of that olam wouldn’t ever venture into the virtual velt to provide us what you might deem to be a more accurate depiction of the yeshiva velt.
never mind that the yeshiva itself is a branding success. Is my local yeshiva similar to Volozhin or Pumbedita? Same as Pudonk state university is a university like Cambridge or Sorbonne.
This addictive train wreck was started as a blog reporting on what was going on in what’s colloquially known as the Yeshiva World.
Since so many of us realize this whole website is bittul zman at best, what are we still doing here? Go grab a gemara! (that question was for myself too)
“Same as Pudonk state university is a university like Cambridge or Sorbonne.”
You miss the point entirely. YWN IS the Cambridge, Sorbonne, Ponevezh and Mir of the virtual world all rolled into one. You will never see demands from members of Congress for the resignation of the Chancellors, Presidents or Moderators of the CR
