Reply To: Why are Yeshiva bein hazmanim so long?

1. I do not know of a single business owner (other than Roshei Yeshiva) who shut down thier business for 3 months a year.
2. If all yeshiva/kollel lite are continuing their regular sedarim during bein hazmanim then this whole discussion is moot. I believe that the reality is that a vast majority of those in Yeshiva or not like the son of iacisrmma and instead struggle trying to maintain their “regular work schedule” during bein hazmanim. Does anyone disagree with me?
3. If the purpose of bein hazmanim is so that people in EY can fly overseas then Israelis learning in EY and Americans learning in America etc. should have a shorter BHZ.
If the purpose of bein hazmanim is to give the hanhala a break, then they are certainly in the wrong business. Can you really say a Rebbe in Yeshiva physically and mentally needs so much more vacation than say a doctor?
4. Who said anything about different dates for bein hazmanim? If the rationale of BHZ is for parents to see their kid once a year that does not explain 3-4 weeks in the summer and three weeks in Tishrei. It also does not explain a full month to see them.

What is the rationale?
