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

We always had chavrusas in our yeshivas. There are two kinds, either one teaches the other or they are both equally knowledgeable. I like the second one better. It says עשה לך רב וקנה לך חבר sometimes a rav and sometimes a chaver whom you appreciate as a valuable thing bought overlooking his faults.
