Torah UMesorah Convention 2026: Shailos UTeshuvos for Metivos
Such a pleasure to listen to an articulate longtime rosh yeshiva that, besides for being a tremendous talmid chacham and baal machshavah, has seichel and the guts to say the right thing. What he said about bachurim hocking is 100% accurate and true, but no one else would have the courage to say it. It takes an ish emes who is not affected by the hockers.
And that's a positive. Not a negative. Seeing young men today in the yeshiva world who can't utter a straight sentence because they did not go to high school is a chilul shem shamayim.
Anon@ 9:58 if you would've waited one minute you would've seen that Rav Yosef was given an underpowered mike which they exchanged two minutes into Rav Yosef’s remarks. Your snide comment was uncalled for. I give you a Bracha that one day you should be zoiche to have 1% of Rav Yosef’s Torah and Brilliance.
The Original idea was that if you actually used your head and learn properly everything else would fall into place the same way you only learn a miniscule amount of information in school probably the amount of information that a normal adult can learn in a few months the information you learn in school is designed to make you think and give you the very basics. Do you see the guy who can't speak English or write is probably not too proficient in everything else he learned in yeshiva too. At least that is my life's experience. Like reb Aaron once said a Shiva man needs to be up to do everything and that was the goal

ReplyDeleteHe should use the mic more effectively if he's such a veteran
DeleteHe's articulate because he learned in Chaim Berlin, went to high school with secular studies and is well read

Rav Hutner used to say, "Yeshivah guys have the distinction of being illiterate in 4 languages."
