Yeshivat Nesher Hagadol

  Rav Avigdor Miller on Iyun and Bekiyus Posted on  August 8, 2018 by  Toras Avigdor  all credit goes to them   print Q: Why is that in the yeshivos so much time is put into iyun, the slower and deeper method of studying gemara, and not so much on covering more ground? A: That’s a very good question, by the way. The truth is that up until recently, in the yeshivos, they used to learn a big part of the mesechta.

Furthermore, the  Magein Avrohom  ( Orach   Chaim,   siman  8:3) brings a source for this  minhag  from the following  Gemara  ( Kiddushin  29b): Rav Chisda told Rav Huna about Rav Hamnuna’s stature as an...

The former Rebbe of Sadigura died nearly two years ago in his fifties after suffering from cancer. He left several sons, but surprisingly decided in his will to appoint one of the youn...
