Before this page spins out of control, we need to decide how much of this actually needs to move to yeshiva. I don't think a history of yeshivot is necessary on this page. JFW | T@lk 17:13, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)

• It's like discussing a person and a home. An empty house is useless without its inhabitant to make it into a home, and a person needs a house to live in, in order to have a home. In order to appreciate the "Rosh" you need to also grasp the "yeshiva". For example, can one speak independently about a teacher without elaborating on the roles of schools and students simultaneously? IZAK 17:20, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Where are all the non-Orthodox rosh yeshivas?

Why don't we list the Rosh yeshivas for the Union for Tradition Judaism's Metivta, or the Conservative movement's JTS, or the Conservative Yeshiva in Jerusalem? This article only presents the point of view of an Orthodox Jewish rabbi, and no one else. The Academy for (of?) Jewish Religion in Manhattan has a Rosh yeshiva, I believe. Mark3 ("3", because mark 1 and 2 are taken)

[edit] In regard to above

Oh, it's interesting that you mention that. It's probably because non Orthodox Rabbi's are leading to the assimilation of the Jewish people. It's funny when they do that, haha. I can't stop laughing. Really hillarious, you know, how they're making the Jewish people completely dissapear. Reminds me of a particualr Everybody Loves Raymond. You know the one where Raymond's father leads to the assimilation of all the Jews in the world. It was a really good one, maybe you can catch it in reruns. I'll Tivo it for you if you want, just e-mail me your screenname or something. Later man.

[edit] Missing some roshei yeshivoh

BS"D

The listing for Ner Israel/nirc, is missing the roshei mesivta. --Shaul avrom 23:32, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of Rosh Yeshivas

I moved the current section to a new article/list. A cat already exists, but looking through the WP:ORBCW gave me the idea that many others are overlooked. I think that the main Rosh article should not be an article that needs to be updated. --Shuki 01:28, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Steinzaltz

I did not know Rabbi Steinzaltz is a Rosh Yeshiva.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.93.254.200 (talk • contribs)

Then I suggest that you follow the link to the article about him. --Shuki 23:17, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] famous rosh yeshivas

Is there any special reason that this section be in the article? What is the standard for deciding who is famous? --Shuki 20:53, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] new perspective?

i dont think that presenting new chidushim is within the job describtion of a rosh yeshiva. it is a very common thing because rosh yeshivas are intelligent and do so on there own, but a rosh yeshiva is not required to have new chidushim.
