I think I speak for all of Chabad when I say, NO.

On this rare occasion, I concede to the Pravda editorial board that this is probably true.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Have you ever been a part of, or been tempted to be a part of,
Chabad-related discussions in the YWN forum (Coffee Room)?

How many Lubavitchers do you think hang out on YWN, let alone the coffee room?

You got this question from a mental health screening, yes?

Seems like YOEC mesivta won't accept any non-locals.

What other mesivtas with general studies are there outside of PIT?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

From a relative:

Chovivei
Hamesivta (Ocean Parkway)
Toronto - Ohr Temimim
Darchei

I think also
Wilkes Barre
Jes

The Poconos Yeshiva also had a branch that does vocational studies, not general studies

Heard good things about LEC recently. Staff was majorly upgraded. Don't know if that means it's actually good now, or if it's just better than it was.
