This month of learning is sponsored by our dear friends Matt and Mollie Landes of Riverdale for the neshama of Dovid Yehonatan ben Yitzchak Yehuda.In this episode of the
18Forty Podcast, we speak with Yehuda Geberer—a researcher, educator, and tour guide—about the history of the yeshiva world.
In this episode we discuss:
- How did we get from the start of the Lithuanian yeshiva movement to the American yeshiva world of today?
- What were the premodern precursors to yeshivas?
- What effect did the Vietnam War have on the development of the American yeshiva world?
Tune in for a conversation about “change in service of perpetuating the eternal.”
Interview begins at 22:43.
