Education

This section needs a lot of work explaining how Yeshiva works. If anyone can contribute some time, much appreciated. IZAK Debresser Contributor613 MikeR613

Looking for help from knowledgeable Wikipedians:

The Yeshiva system works simply by creating an environment that allows Jewish men including young adults and teens to get together and study.

Generally, the subject at hand would be a folio of the Talmud.

Jewish boys enter Yeshiva sometime in their late teens and remain until they marry. After marriage they will move to a similar institution that is named "kollel" but is essentially does the same function. However, the typical focus would be Halacha. General studies are somewhat limited with those that offer it usually limiting it to high school level, despite having the student in the system until the low 20s.

The Yeshiva maintains spiritual guides "Mashpi'im," teachers "Ma'agid Shiur," and deans "Rosh Yeshiva."

I hope this explains how Yeshiva works.

Schools?

The sentence "Boys and girls attend separate schools, and proceed to higher Torah study, in a yeshiva or seminary, respectively" implies that boys go to yeshiva and girls to seminary. Is that correct? 142.163.195.205 (talk) 21:43, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Kinda. It describes some moderate American haredi culture. "Seminary" is the correct word for a women's gap-year program in Jewish Orthodoxy, as distinct from "yeshiva", which can be used for any level of men's education, and from "rabbinical seminary", which might be used for a degree-granting postgraduate vocational program for men. But such programs are more characteristic of Modern Orthodox / Dati Judaism and only attended by the more liberal American haredi communities. IMO it should be updated to reflect that the vast majority of Haredi women do not enroll in formal torah learning programs after high school. Also I'm a little bit confused by that paragraph; if it means to refer to high schools as "seminaries", that would not be correct GordonGlottal (talk) 20:06, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adding Infobox religious group?

I think this page would benefit from an Infobox religious group like on Orthodox Judaism and Modern Orthodox Judaism. Can someone with a more edits in this topic area advise before I add it? Bitspectator ⛩️ 22:29, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

differences from Hassidic Judaism

It would be useful if the article addressed the differences between Haredi and Hassidic forms of Judaism. Pete unseth (talk) 03:09, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
