Reply To: Stop the trend of post going to Brisk and its proxies

Dear Avira

I would like to argue on some of your assumptions. You stated that many Bachurim gain tremendosly from learning in Brisk type yeshivos. This may be true of Rav Tzvi Kaplan but the rest are usually boys coming from very high caliber intense American yeshivos that have all the Brisker yeshivos have to offer minus the hefkeirus.

As I said it wasn’t like that 20 plus years ago but today most of those Roshey Yeshiva are themselves talmidim of Brisk and give over the full 9 yards plus a strong mussar regimen which they usually picked up in BMG.

From your previous post I am deducing (correct me if I am off) that you didn’t go thru the run of the mill American yeshiveshe system and picked up your frumkeit in E”Y. also you aren’t yet the age having boys in the yeshivos gedolos. So I fully understand why you don’t have a full grasp on the current matzav.

Please don’t take this as an attack of any sort. Just realizing we are coming from different experiences and different age brackets.
