How much should I learn over Bein Hazmanim?? A- For a Mesivta Bochur from a mainstream Yeshiva? B- For a Bais Medrash Bochur in America? C- And last, a Bochur thats home from Eretz Yisroel for Yom Tov?
The only person who can answer this is yourself. Every person is different and has a different level to strive for. To put a set amount is counter productive and demeans the value of learning. When you learn for an “XX:XX” amount of time because that is what they do, means that you are not learning L’shmah, you are just learning fot the title.
the right way: simple answer, ask your rebbe! not a bunch of no name posters on a message board you probably do not belong in, since you clearly feel you should be learning!
the right way: I would say it depends on your what your capabable of.
but at LEAST 1/4 of the time you usually learn.
if you can, learn half the time you usually learn a day,
if you learn 9 hours, try to learn 4 1/2 hours.
If you leave the torah for 1 day it leaves you for 2 days.
However there is an Inyan of resting up a little bein hazmanim
to be refreshed for the New Z’man.
may i suggest learning a little bit halacha,
Inyona D’yoima like Hilchos Chol Hamoed, or Succah.
Hatzlocha Rabah!
Bein Hasdorim, I posted the Pelle Yoetz info for you there.
Check it out and respond, Please.
bein-hazmanim is B’H coming to a close, and s’ken zain az bein_hasdorim is already preparing to return to Yeshiva…
In my neighnorhood, we know Bein Hazmanim is starting and ending when the 9:00 minyan for shachris (during the week) is posted.
Aren’t you lucky. In MY neighborhood, on the Shabbos before bein hazmanim is over, we insert a special prayer before mussaf in which we declare which day the zman starts. But you guys sure are lucky that they just post it on the wall.
I think something got lost in the translation. I have no idea what your neighborhood does or does not do. The point I was trying to make (and obviously did not do a very good job at that) is that we know Bein Hazmanim has started when we see signs that there will also be a 9am minyan for shachris and we know bein hazmanim is coming to an end when we see the sign that posts the last day of said minyan.
No matter what stage of the game one is, if one is capable of learning, he should not let a day go by without opening a sefer, be it 1/2 hour or 7 hours! You know what you are capable of and Hashem for sure knows, but don’t let that day go by without learning!
The Right Way,
When my sons were in high school, a very intense Yeshiva, I approached the Menahel with this exact question – should I ask my sons, or pressure my sons to learn during Bein Hazmanim? His answer was a very quick and emphatic, “No.”
He termed it as a Yeridah Shehi L’Tzorech Aliya, and told me not to pressure them at all. Whatever they do on their own is great, but I should not pressure them, and C”V, never display any outward displeasure if they don’t learn what I, personally, would have liked to see from them.
They rarely cracked a Sefer during Bein Hazmanim in High School!!
Now they are all in upper Beis Medrash, and when they’re home for Bein Hazmanim they all learn pretty intensely every day – without a word from Tatti.
Being a yeshiva bochur I can say that Bein Hazmanim is much too long. The only way to be Melamed Zechus is to say that they make it too long to give a chaishek to go back.
I once heard that every person Kifee Madraigaso goes down one Madraigo during Bein hazmanim therefore a person who learns 18 hours a day will learn 15 and so on. For Bochurim that don’t learn even during the zman, and only look like Yeshiva Bochurim, they’re only outlet is to not even look like Yeshiva Bochurim. I think that’s the way to look at it. Have A Great Zman Everyone.
