So everyone including the RYs themselves want to excel at this particular aspect of learning. Imagine a Yeshiva that excels in Bekius rather than Iyun. It would simply have a name for catering for less gifted students that can't handle deep stuff like R' Boruch Ber or R' Shimon.</p> <p>Like I said in my previous post, if you have a good head you can excel in Iyun pretty quickly with not much effort. However to become proficient in Shas takes long and tedious hard work. And our generation is not geared up for that. The accolades don't come quick enough. That's my humble opinion. </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/derech-halimud/page/2#post-287298 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 15:49:26 +0000 Chacham 287298@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>toi- you did not address my point at all. my shayala is if there is more then one mehalach in learning why does one get the monopoly? </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/derech-halimud/page/2#post-286990 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 10:12:29 +0000 Toi 286990@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>when youre a little older youll understand a little better what your rabbeim wanted from you and why it made sense. i understand your taaneh. give it time and keep at it and keep chazering. learn b'kius on your own (not shidchiyus- r shach in michtavim shrays against that,too) and learn seriously. youll remember and youll be surprised how much ground you can cover </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/derech-halimud/page/2#post-286935 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 08:01:15 +0000 Chacham 286935@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>TOI- Do you mean if I do not follow every shittah of Rav Shach it does not apply to me if he says I will be an Am haaretz? He only said it about to people who follow every one of his shitos?<br /> If rav Shach Reb Michel Yehuda Rav Shteinman Rav Mattisyahu Solomon Reb Chaim Kanievski and Rav Shmuel Auerbach etc. and many other gedolim who were/are the gedolei hador hold one way unanimously than yes you could follow them since chances are they have a very good idea in what they are saying. You make it sound like rav shach is a daas yochid who gets brushed aside unless you wwere his talmid muvhak. aderabba- maybe if you want to go slow you can only go so slow if you follow the shitos of the American Roshei yeshivos on everything.<br /> My point is that in America you have 40 yeshivos learning slow. In Ertez Yisrael most learn faster. NOw MOST gedolim not just rav shach are against the way they learn in America. Everyone answers this is the only way to get bachurim to learn in this generation and it is sort of a horaas sha'ah. so 40 out of 40 yeshivos are doing so. My complaint is this horaas shaah is not a davar hashava lchol nefesh. In my shiur of seventeen bachurim, 3 of them want to go faster. So if it is not a davar hashaveh lacol there has to be a place for the exceptions. My complaint is the American Mehalach has a complete monopoly of every yeshiva. Why can't anybody care about the shita of the gedolei hador and have a yeshiva for those that want to learn faster? I am not brushing aside the other gedolim I am merely saying there is obviously another mehalach other than the american mehalach so why is there no yeshiva for that mehalach? </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/derech-halimud/page/2#post-286906 Wed, 17 Aug 2011 03:20:57 +0000 Toi 286906@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>no offense to everone, but i think that a double standard is in place here. everyone here is ready to shrei chay vikayum about what certai gedolim said about derech halimud.

Everyone knows the famous maaseh of how a top brain surgeon couldnt figure out a complicated surgery and when the Chazon Ish was asked he gave a simple solution that astonished all doctors involved. people hear this one and say wow ruach hakodesh, thats a gadol, he mustve been something. then they hear that the same man said that giyus bonos and sherut leumi is literally yaharog vi'al ya'avor and the response is..ya...well...he was extreme...we dont think so..etc. If you want to change systems and turn over north america(which im not saying is a bad thing) then dont pick the shittos that fit your agenda, rather, adhere to everything R shach said. and good luck with that, its not so easy </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/derech-halimud/page/2#post-286871 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 23:07:46 +0000 HaKatan 286871@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>It's also important to differentiate between the different types of "going slow" as I can't believe gedolim are against learning pshat, whatever it takes this generation to do so. </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/derech-halimud/page/2#post-286846 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 22:10:10 +0000 apushatayid 286846@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>I don't know what most guys do or did.

Did the OP in all his research look into "Choftez Chaim" or any of its branches? Despite all the jokes about getting out of the box, the answers to why one lion is smiling and one not, in bekius seder they cover quite a lot of ground. In my 1st year in the beis medrash when the yeshiva was learning Baba Basra, the "quota" for my chavrusa and I was 1 blatt a week when we started in Elul and was was up to 2 blatt a week by the time the zman finished end of tammuz. 3 years later we were up to 4 blatt a week. The "quota" as we called it was based on the level of the chavrusas, the perek/daf being learned with input from one of the Rabbeim. Depending on the massechta you could cover 75-100 blatt a year, easily. </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/derech-halimud#post-286266 Tue, 16 Aug 2011 03:46:06 +0000 old man 286266@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>One must understand that the "derech halimud" has seen many variations over the generations, and certainly over the centuries. For various reasons, learning was at times fast (one daf a day in Volozhin), slower and more focused (nashim and nezikin only) in Slobodka-influenced yeshivas, slower still in the extremely focused Chofetz Chaim derech, and blazingly fast in sefardic yeshivas. Who is right? They all are.</p> <p>A Rebbe who cries over the fact that he is challenged by the breadth of shas when he spent his early learning days focused on the first perek in one of only seven mesechtas, need not cry, and his learning was not in vain. For a real lamdan, bekius should be easily attained with a concerted effort over a year or two. He should certainly know the basics of shas even from his limited scope.</p> <p>So, do not despair, anyone. Just change direction if you feel the lack, it's not too late. </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/derech-halimud#post-286230 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 23:16:30 +0000 Health 286230@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>I posted a reason why they learn so slow under the Food Stamps topic! </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/derech-halimud#post-286223 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 23:01:10 +0000 mexipal 286223@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>it's slightly ironic that chofetz chaim, the "slowest" yeshiva on the block covers around 60 blatt gemara, rashi, tosfos, in bekiyus </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/derech-halimud#post-286208 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 22:14:24 +0000 mw13 286208@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>"How come all the American yeshivos learn so slow?"</p> <p>I believe the theory goes that although learning bikiyus is really the way to go (at least the first couple of times through Shas), in today's day and age when people have difficulty sitting down and learning it is good idea to learn the more "exciting" iyun. However, some Yeshivos go too slow and the bochrim lose intrest in the sugya, defeating the entire purpose of learning bi'iyun.</p> <p>"Rabbi Rudinsky in Monsey, is fairly young and at an even younger age (shidduchim) had already completed learning much of Shas (if not all.

But either way, he currently makes a siyum on Shas Bavli and Yerushalmi every year (in between running a Shul, an elementary school, a high school, a bais medrash, a kollel, paskening shailos, and giving about 6-8 shiurim daily on everything from iyun and halacha to Navi and Yerushalmi).</p> <p>"Try Yeshivas Ohr Reuven in Monsey."</p> <p>As an alumnus of Ohr Reuven (R' Rudinsky's yeshiva), I can tell you that they do indeed "move". In first seder they tend to cover about an amud a week, sometimes more; and second seder is an amud a day, Israeli style.<br /> Also the Yeshiva recently began a Semicha program in Yoreh Deah which learns regular first seder but learns Yoreh Deah bi'iyun halacha li'maaseh.</p> <p><strong>EDITED</strong><strong></strong> </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/derech-halimud#post-286182 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 20:37:33 +0000 ItcheSrulik 286182@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>This is a big problem. A guy can sit in yeshiva for 7 years and only know 49 blatt -- 7 blatt from each year's mesechta. There is slow, and there is too slow. By the same token, there is fast and there is too fast. I've personally heard Rabbi Belsky of Torah Vodaath call the American style of "iyun and bekius" "chipus and kria" because iyun seder is spent searching for excuses not to move on and bekius is spent reading without any havana. People would get more Torah out of a solid daf yomi (if it was given at an hour when they could concentrate). </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/derech-halimud#post-286179 Mon, 15 Aug 2011 20:33:58 +0000 Chacham 286179@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>Yitayningyut- I am going into first year bais medrash. The main mid-sized yeshivos in lAkewood for this age do less than 10 blatt ( around 8 ) and second Seder in most yeshivas is faster than what I did but around 18 blatt. What I want is to pick up the mehalach used n eretz yisrael which learns in a different style that allows more like 25 blatt </p>
