Why Go to Yeshiva?
Question
Hello Rabbi,
I am a student in a yeshiva high school. I would be happy to hear the Rabbi’s view on whether to go to yeshiva, why, and for how long.
Answer
It’s impossible to answer a question like that, especially when I don’t know you at all. If you have a specific dilemma, you can lay out the different sides here.
Discussion on Answer
Then do other important things. If you want to discuss it, I asked you to lay out the sides of your dilemma.
Learning is not hard for me at all, and I can go to yeshiva. Still, I don’t really want to go to yeshiva, and I don’t really understand why I should study Torah / go to yeshiva instead of doing other important things.
