Yeshiva@IDT
« on: May 08, 2016, 07:56:16 PM »
Couldn't find a thread discussing Yeshivas, so here goes. I've always heard about this place but I never realized what a great place this is until I met some guys from there. They showed me the Yeshiva's website, but it's not finished yet, though it does appear that it's being updated every couple of days.

For the uninitiated, this is a Yeshiva that combines learning Torah, while at the same time obtaining a College degree in a Yeshiva environment. I visited the Yeshiva. The boys are extremely happy there and the atmosphere is very warm and relaxed. I figured this is a hot topic and warrants discussion.

And this is an old video I found, though I've been told that most of the staff and boys are different and that they moved into a beautiful new building.

The building is actually IDT's old building. :P

From your description, you make it seem like it's a chiddush to have a college in a Yeshiva environment. YU and Landers have been around for a long time doing the same thing. (I know they're not Yeshivish, but you said Yeshiva, not Yeshivish.)

True, but the building was just renovated. And this Yeshiva is not like YU at all. This is for heimeshe boys. Even for Chassidesh boys. I saw two with peyos in front when I visited.

I knew you were going to say that. I was just pointing out that college/Yeshivas already exist. Not that YU is a place for Yeshivish people. FYI there are a handful of guys with Peyos in YU, too. Even one from New Square in recent years. Anyway, if you're looking for advice on this place, it's great for the right guy, who is usually not your classic Yeshiva guy or your classic college guy.

You know someone in IDT? I know you said this, but just specifying it for others, this is a real heimish place. True, it's not for your typical yeshiva bachur. But it is geared to them and their shitos.

I know several people at IDT. I also went to high school there for a year (in the other school that used to exist there), and I've worked there.

Just want to clarify that I have nothing against the Yeshiva or the guys there. Nice guys when I was in the building, and the Yeshiva serves an important purpose.

The goyish quote as your landing on their site really turns me off.

At least from mobile.

Which quote in particular? By me it cycles through a few.

Per OP, it's a work in progress site.

The point of the yeshiva "flew over your head".
I'm not who you think I am.

Why? It doesn't seem to add much to the page, but I don't really find anything wrong with it.
