I thought I was being civil but don’t worry, I won’t be back here for a long time (I don’t like having conversations online). Again can you please give me the name of a masechta that would ake a difference? Because every masechta I have ever learned had parts that were very difficult.
This is an anonymous internet forum. Anyone can answer questions, boys or girls. Part of it is because you call yourself a feminist that I felt it to be inappropriate, but mainly, I felt it was a question directed to other guys, just like some girls have questions directed to other girls.
oomis: Yeshiva girls have learned with others GIRLS. This question was about a boy learning with another BOY. And boys do buy gifts for other boys. Boys and girls learn differently and their relationships in terms of how they learn differ. You cannot answer the question because YOU have never learned alone as a boy. Girls are more talkative and need to express their feelings with others more than boys do.
I still do not understand how asking what masechta is relevant. Please give me the name of one masechta that would make it relevant. To me, it seems it was asked to show off that you know about whats in each masechta.
I personally have yet to meet a girl who is capable of learning biyun the way a boy does or who would make a good chavrusa for a boy.
jewishfeminist02: I don’t want to sound mean, but in fairness do you really think he wanted advice from a girl about his chavrusa question and do you not see how it is inappropriate for you to be answering a question about a boy’s chavrusa? It’s like a boy giving a girl advice on what to give another girl for a bridal shower. Not only that, but what on earth would it matter what masechta he is learning? You didn’t even answer his question.
To help answer: I would say that it is for sure worse to have a bad chavrusa apposed to no chavrusa. When you learn alone you can really stop and think about things, bring back to your heart and memory and internalize things. There is no one you are trying to impress, no one you have to keep up with, no meaningless tangents you have to run off too and spend hours on because he wants to talk about so and so. While a good chavrusa in MODERATION is very useful, a bad one is a lot worse.
