The Yeshiva system works simply by creating an environment that allows Jewish men including young adults and teens to get together and study.
Generally, the subject at hand would be a folio of the Talmud.
Jewish boys enter Yeshiva sometime in their late teens and remain until they marry. After marriage they will move to a similar institution that is named "kollel" but is essentially does the same function. However, the typical focus would be Halacha. General studies are somewhat limited with those that offer it usually limiting it to high school level, despite having the student in the system until the low 20s.
The Yeshiva maintains spiritual guides "Mashpi'im," teachers "Ma'agid Shiur," and deans "Rosh Yeshiva."
I hope this explains how Yeshiva works.
JW also refuse to use weapons. But this does not mean they aren't fundamentalists. So, I find the they do not bear weapons
defense a weak argument.
People have the prejudice that fundamentalist means violent, just as they have the prejudice that schizophrenic means violent. Both prejudices are wrong. tgeorgescu ( talk) 05:08, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
In case you wonder, applying the label fundamentalist
to the Haredim is no longer disputed in the mainstream academia or mainstream media. That ship has sailed for a long time.

The requirement for editing Wikipedia is being reality-based, as rendered in reliable sources. There is no requirement of being gullible or of bowing down to religious authorities. There is no requirement of pampering cults or religions. tgeorgescu ( talk) 11:10, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
If you ask me, JW are at the same time nonviolent and a paranoid apocalyptic cult. tgeorgescu ( talk) 06:18, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
they do not bear weapons. JW don't bear weapons, either, see above. More precisely, it says verbatim
Haredim do not join armies and do not bear arms.As if that were an exemption from being considered fundamentalist.

"Which lies and antisemitism are you referring to?"
I already answered this, you guys deleted it.
"As stated above "fundamentalism" does not necessarily entail "violent". And the label of "fundamentalism" is sourced to non-fundamentalist Rabbis and other Jewish scholars." What kind of idiotic straw man is this? Who cares?
"any closed religious community suffers from similar problems, so Wikipedia does not single out the Haredi." Again, weird straw man. This Wikipedia article is only dealing with Charedim. And it's only the Charedi world it's lying about. Certainly you should have the integrity to not lie elsewhere, but this is the article I'm looking at.
"Cases of pedophilia, sexual violence, assaults, and abuses against women and children occur in roughly the same rates in Haredi communities as in the general population"
This statement is not supported by a single source cited here, and is not statistically true. You can argue that it's all kept hidden by the entire Charedi world, fine, but then we should see high rates of molestation and rape reported in people who leave the Charedi world; since the general population is 1/6-1/4, we should have much higher rates that that in those of whom leave, because obviously the victims of such heinous crimes are (1) more likely to leave, and (2) unlikely to hide what they experienced once they leave. But we don't see anywhere near those numbers. Most studies of that population (that leaves the Charedi world) yield a sub-1% rate of rape and molestation. This is just a grotesque lie.
Most of these articles are centered around American Charedim. The molestation and rape rate in America is, depending on which figures you want to accept, between one sixth and one quarter of women and girls. These figures are insane to accuse the Charedi world of. It's wrong by literal magnitudes.
"however, they are rarely discussed or reported to the authorities"
Secular authorities, like criminal prosecutors. This ignores that Charedim also have a criminal system.
"and frequently downplayed by members of the communities"
I can acknowledge that mandatory chemical castration (or, if they refuse, going to prison) can be interpreted as downplaying things, so I did not debate this point. Nor did I attempt to edit it, if I recall.
.[252][253][254][255][256][257][258][259] Clearly no one defending the first two points read these articles. They don't contribute to the points they're cited for. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.19.86.193 ( talk) 17:29, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
The lie that the Charedi world experiences the same rate of child molestation as the secular world is a gross and blatant lie, completely unsupported by the links cited.
I have tried correcting this multiple times. It is being automatically reset and ignored.
The fact that I -- and effective no one in the Charedi world -- know how to use this website effectively doesn't make you people corrdect, it just makes you better at using the internet.
Your lies and antisemetism is highly concerning. Your lack of journalistic integrity is more concerning. The fact that white supremacists can use both of these issues to their benefit against Jews is even more concerning. That last one is the reason I even encountered this site. 46.19.86.193 ( talk) 06:35, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
The sentence "Boys and girls attend separate schools, and proceed to higher Torah study, in a yeshiva or seminary, respectively" implies that boys go to yeshiva and girls to seminary. Is that correct? 142.163.195.205 ( talk) 21:43, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
