 Yeshiva - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yeshiva is the "generic" name for the entire system of schools that teach Torah, Mishanh and Talmud, to all ages.
Yeshiva High School - Also called Mesivta or Mechina, combines the intensive Jewish religious education with a secular high school education.
Many Yeshivot Ketana in Israel and some in the diaspora do not have a secular course of studies and all students learn Judaic Torah studies full time.

 Marvin Schick: RJJ Newsletter - Secular Studies in Yeshiva High Schools
Yeshivas are not moving away from secular studies because they want to maximize the prospect that their best students will emerge as topflight talmidei chachomim but rather because they believe that secular studies should be off-limits for all of their students, including those of limited potential.
They served as links in the Mesorah, for they received spiritual and intellectual sustenance in the communities and yeshivas where they were raised and educated and they imparted their learning and spiritual nobility to the emerging American Orthodox community.
To sum up, limited secular education may be desirable for yeshiva students with outstanding religious and scholarly promise and it may work for those who veer toward communal positions or entrepreneurship.

Then Roshei Yeshiva should be asked for mesirat nefesh, i.e., total devotion to students, wrestling with the challenges of modernity, risking their souls by reaching out to connect to the most alienated and even heretical people.
Sadly my teaching days at Yeshiva were over.
Further, I was orienting myself by a klal yisrael community of Orthodox-Conservative-Reform Rabbis whereas the religious leadership of Yeshiva was still insular and inward looking.

Some of the more rightward-leaning rabbis, who see religious studies as the primary reason for attending Yeshiva and secular studies as a necessary evil, worry that a lay president might send the wrong signal to students about the relative importance of the two sides of the school.
Joel is not only strictly Orthodox himself, but he spent his fourteen years as president of Hillel trying to bring a greater level of observance and Jewish learning to a generation of Jews at secular colleges and universities.
In fact, there is reason to believe that unlike his counterpart at Georgetown, Joel will not be leading Yeshiva down the path toward secularization, or even maintaining the current separation between religious and secular education.

In his arguments to the town, Eisenberger said that if the town granted Yeshiva of Spring Valley's request, it should limit the facility to a 400-seat capacity, such as the limitation placed on Congregation Bais Yaakov.
In written arguments defending the plans, Paul Savad, an attorney for Yeshiva of Spring Valley, pointed to a 1981 state Supreme Court decision that found "religious and educational organizations are allowed to use their facilities for non-religious activities if the activity strengthens and supports religious practice or are otherwise reasonably associated with its educational purpose."
The yeshiva, which is planning to build a boys school at the former Van Riper Farm near Rockland Community College, is seeking to include catering facilities with 600 seats and parking for 276 cars, according to town records.

Having grown up in Spanish Harlem, Jaime appreciates the "activities" and "studies" students often take for granted.
