Our Unique Learning Program
The staff at Postville Yeshivas Kayitz is already hard at work preparing an extraordinary curriculum that will not only enrich your knowledge, rather it will radically transform your entire way of learning into an exhilarating experience.
Nigleh Iyun
We will present you with an understanding of the gemara and meforshim in a way you have never before experienced. It is designed in three stages:
Stage one: Getting to know the meforshim. Their history; their teachers and their students; their distinct study method, and more. You will learn who was the Rashba, when the Ritva lived, and with whom the Rosh learned. There will be a shiur every day, that will focus on one of the Jewish giants from our past.
Stage two: A vertical approach to learning an entire sugya. Beginning with the sugya in the gemara, then learning through the rishonim on the sugya, followed by delving into it in shulchan aruch and sifrei halacha, and finally, through the achronim, understanding how it applies in modern times.
Stage three: We will go backwards to understand how each of the meforshim arrived at their conclusions. We will have a daily shiur in which we will learn the gemara alongside the opinion, and we will focus on figuring out why they rule the way they do.
Nigleh Girsa
Nigleh girsa will be a more general and lighter, but still stimulating approach.
Upon concluding a sugya, we will delve into the Rosh and the rulings of the Alter Rebbe's Shulchan Oruch, as we attempt to understand what conclusions they reached, and how they arrived at their conclusions. You will be given sources before class, so that you can attempt to prepare the material on their own, thus acquiring additional learning skills.
Chassidus
Every morning and evening there will be seder chassidus. In this program, too, there will be an emphasis on delving into one inyan, so that you can develop a deep understanding of particular concepts in chassidus. Lighter maamorim will be selected for the chassidus girsa curriculum.
Farbrengens
Will be held on every yoima di'pagra, as well as other opportunities. We will farbreng in an atmosphere of sheves achim gam yachad, with stimulating discussions, focusing on our hiskashrus to the Rebbe.
