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 …
