r’ shaya cohen believs that we have the best derech halimud and derech in mussar…that is not to say that he believes all other yeshivos are worthless. basically heres what he says. there are many mekomos of torah…but chofetz chaim is the only YESHIVA. thats what he says. he has a point to a certain extent, but he is not saying that all other yeshivos are worthless and not worth the bricks they are built from. he is simply saying that he believes the CC derech is the best and optimal. not that the others are wrong..just that they have what to work on. no one in their right mind can say that peopel in the mir dont know how to learn…its just differences in the derech halimud which he feels chofetz haim has right. by the way…mir and CC are pretty close seeing as the rosh yeshiva and rav berenbaum were quite close..
as for whether CC is the only yeshiva that equips you for the nisyonos of daily life…the answer is a definite no…but it is the BEST yeshiva to equip you for the nisyonos of daily life.
and by the way…the reason me and chofetzchaim are pushing it so hard is because of all the bashing…
Please take this with a grain of salt, realizing that it is from bombmaniac. I doubt that he is properly saying over what R’ Shaya Cohen holds. – YW Moderator
