Just Visiting the Coffee Room. I hope to do more important things one day… (Don’t we all?)
Just Visiting the YWN coffee room. I hope to graduate to better things one day…
It looks like this post was a copy and paste from ChatGPT.
While I find ChatGPT to be good at giving over information, I often find it to be missing a certain “human element” (for obvious reasons). But what I mean by that is a little hard to define. In this case, I would say ChapGPT gave over too much information in too little space for a person to comprehend and absorb. Each of these sentences should be paragraphs or chapters of a book, fleshing out its meaning and application in our daily lives.
A therapist can “diagnose” your problem. If it’s a problem in a relationship and you don’t know why you can’t get on board / connect with a particular person, a therapist can help figure out why that’s happening. That knowledge alone is valuable – even if you don’t work with him to solve the issue.
Going to therapy can help. It’s not just the “therapy” that actually helps. It’s a combination of 1) the therapist’s genuine interest in your problem and helping you gain confidence in yourself that you can work through it 2) the client being forced to build self awareness and work through the issue 3) the tools therapy provides which have been proven to work through case studies.
Agudah PCS (you can google that) has online courses and follow help with job placement.
Write shorthand notes during shiur in the following style
Q –
A-
S –
where Q is a question A is answer and S is statement. That will help you follow the Rebbe’s train of thought.
Afterwards, write the shiur over again in complete sentences and copying over the מראה מקומות your Rebbi brought in Shiur.
I very highly recommend the English sefer “Ben Yeshiva” by Rabbi Lopiansky. You should get some good guidance there.
If your goal is to remember your learning 3,5,10 years from now, then memorizing shakla v’tarya is not going to be very helpful. You want to focus on the Maskanos of the sugyos. You can write down the maskanos on index cards. One maskanah per card. If there is a key chakirah in the sugyah that would also be an index card – chakiros can go in a separate compartment. Very important to write on paper, not a computer. Hatzlacha!Large screen in the living room might not be a bad idea, but it is not the answer for a struggling bochur (or anybody). You need a good filter, preferably coupled with WebChaver. And be in touch with GYE.
I think it would be a worthwhile investment for you to buy Chassan Torah – you’ll get a lot of exercise when the Gabbai says, “Yaamod, yaamod, yaamod….”
Personally, I believe learning in Yeshiva should consist of Bekios with unlimited chazzarah. Make chazzarah the goal. And iyun kal. I feel many bochurim don’t enjoy learning because they’re not learning – they’re trying to “do iyun.” Learning is enjoyable, let the bochurim learn and they’ll enjoy it. Don’t fluff it up. Don’t dump a ton of mefarshim on them. Keep it simple – gishmak. I think many Yeshivos system of learning could and eventually will do some overhaul on this. After the shidduch crisis it dealt with… Meanwhile, whatever the Yeshivos are doing are keeping klal yisrael alive and thriving. We couldn’t exist without them – no matter what derech halimud they are teaching. Their main accomplishment is creating “bnei torah” which a bochur absorbs just by being in the walls of the yeshiva and beis medrash. So critiquing the learning style is not critiquing the Yeshiva itself. It’s a פרט in the Yeshiva.
Why not be proactive? Educate your clients (and the public) about how to avoid these problems! If you can invest 500,000nis or more, you can get in the Israeli market with an investment firm without running in to the tax issue. Otherwise, invest in US funds. I presume the self employed individual can find a work-around and get himself / herself technically employed – no?
1) As mentioned, tzniyus pictures only. (What’s the heiter to show not tzniyus pictures on the site?)
2) Just report the news – like what actually happened – not an opinion about what happened. Anyone else feel the same way about that? disagree?I’ve had that experience with more than one therapist. In that field it’s about finding the right therapist / client “shidduch” otherwise it could be frustrating like you’re saying …
