Reply To: Why are Yeshiva bein hazmanim so long?

My original post was addressing the length of the bein hazmanim of post-high school yeshivos and kollelim and perhaps some more yeshivishe high schools. Yeshivishe elementary schools generally have more school days than a kollel. What is the logic that a Yeshiva high school schedule would tell their high school boys to come back 2-3 days after Yom tov is over but the same institution will tell their Bais Medrash boys to come back 7-8 day after Yom tov? The answer of “that’s what they did in Europe” doesn’t cut it. What is the rationale to give off an entire month for Nissan, 20 days of Tishrei and the entire month of Av? Keep in mind that many (most) do not stick with this schedule and in may Yeshivos, things start to fall apart after Purim. Isn’t it worth asking why?
