Some of these the student's creative flame. In people are lazy, enjoy a good sleep, or recognition of this, many yeshivas allow are just not interested in Torah. These talmidim after several years of learning, people are a problem. But this article is to not attend shiur. not about them. Rather, it is about Some may think it presumptuous for conscientious, religious, responsible a student in MYP to think he knows young men whose highest value is what's best for his development. After Talmud Torah--and who therefore don't all, the administration has decades of want to go to shiur. experience in Torah education. This Don't get me wrong.

Furthermore, such about people for whom learning gemara a widespread policy change is not at all b'Iyun is a temporary si tuation, necessary, as the vast majority of MYP effectively ending after college. Rather, students are satisfied with the shiur I am talking about people who have situation. To accommodate the few decided to dedicate their lives to who are not satisfied, all that is needed becoming Talmidei Chachamim; people is the initiation ofa small-scale program, who already have several years of in which a limited number of approved experience in both beis medrash and talmidim are allowed to substitute two high-level shiurim, and who judge that hours of shiur for seder.
