what type is boston yeshiva? the reason why im asking is because my mother is looking into it for my brother.
Which one? Also, why are you getting involved?
Ah, that’s the new yeshiva. It’s very good. The people who run it are excellent. I’ve heard only good things.
I actually assumed you were talking about the older boston yeshiva (the mesivta), and was sort of trolling as if you might mean ohr yisroel.
are you dating someone from there? I think their first class is like in 11th grade, so that seems unlikely. I assume your mother knows the answers to these questions if she’s looking into it for your brother.
There are not enough boys in Ohr Yisroel to draw general conclusions about “type” or “yeshivish” or “going off the derech”. Also, the yeshiva is trying to be something that doesn’t really exist in the yeshiva world, so it is difficult to label.
From what I have heard, the yeshiva is well-run, and both limudei kodesh and chol are on a high level. For a few reasons, I imagine this is going to continue.
First, the rosh yeshiva comes from a strong yeshivish background but has strong ideas about development of the bachurim in areas other than learning as well, including chol and middos. Conversely, the baalei batim involved in the yeshiva are accomplished in limudei chol and careers, but are strongly committed to ruchnius. The yeshiva is a product of an idea that the founders, including the rosh yeshiva and baalei batim had, to create a particular type of yeshiva. They have b’h been successful to this point, but if it does not work out, unlike some other yeshivas, they will not re-brand themselves as another kind of yeshiva so that people can maintain their shtellars.
sorry, can you please rephrase your last post. I’m not following.
but if it does not work out, unlike some other yeshivas, they will not re-brand themselves as another kind of yeshiva so that people can maintain their shtellars.
I’m def not taking a job there then.
Then I’ll consider sending my kid.
Tznius – I thought that you are not sure what type the Yeshiva is and that is why you are trying to find out.
Like whose brother? I thought you were asking about a yeshiva for your brother?
Tznius – I think you might be too late.
You originally said it was your brother. I guess that wasn’t true.
You’re dating one of the 12th graders? Which one?
“Like are they gonna work or they are going to learn full time?”
Why don’t you just ask him?
tznius,
If he doesn’t talk to girls it’s gonna be a really awkward date. Would he at least let girls talk to him?
Ok, to recap:
you are not checking out this yeshiva for your brother. Or maybe you are, but you don’t want us to know that you have a brother or a mother so we can’t figure out who you are.
Or maybe you are checking out this yeshiva for someone else’s brother, but you won’t be able to tell him what you find out since he does not talk to girls. So maybe you will ask the brother that you don’t have to tell him?
Or maybe you are trying to find out information about a boy who is no one’s brother for shidduch purposes. I guess this yeshiva is taking the Nasi initiative to date younger very seriously.
I’m getting a bit dizzy from all this.
