HIE It is not “shpitzy Flatbush” even though it is viewed that way. It is not a fashion show at all, although the guys are generally more balle batish. If you’re looking for that exception I agree it is basically non-existent but it is the closest thing to it. The potential that there is to gain from the Rosh Yeshiva is incomprable to some of the most chashuve yeshivos around. But of course you must look at the quality of the bachurim themselves.

Being a yeshiva bochur I can say that Bein Hazmanim is much too long. The only way to be Melamed Zechus is to say that they make it too long to give a chaishek to go back.

I once heard that every person Kifee Madraigaso goes down one Madraigo during Bein hazmanim therefore a person who learns 18 hours a day will learn 15 and so on. For Bochurim that don’t learn even during the zman, and only look like Yeshiva Bochurim, they’re only outlet is to not even look like Yeshiva Bochurim. I think that’s the way to look at it. Have A Great Zman Everyone.
