Reply To: is Yeshiva system making talmiday chachamim? or stifling them?

To learn with a chavrusa is a gateway to all learning and not an overstatement חרב על הבדים, the sword comes when learning individually as mistakes can be made. The Taz 47 says that we make a brocho לעסוק בדברי תורה to indicate that the Torah should be a give and take which can be only actualized in a chavrusa.
