Reply To: Why are Yeshiva bein hazmanim so long?

I think you got your answer, you just dont like it. It isnt a vacation, and learning isnt a vocation. These guys are under a microscope 24/7 , unlike ANY profession in the world that i know of. . My sons (in the twenties) have chavrusas durong dinner and after maariv. Shabbos noght, morning and day. What do they do during beon hazmanim? Get shoes, new suit, dentist, doctor, medical procedures, call friends from other yeshivos that thry cant talk to all zman cuz none habe phones, visit nephews… you get the idea. Its harder for me to see why they SHOULDNT have this time, then to see why any 9-5er should have a long weekend.
