[edit]
Before this page spins out of control, we need to decide how much of this actually needs to move to yeshiva. I don't think a history of yeshivot is necessary on this page. JFW | T@lk 17:13, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- It's like discussing a person and a home. An empty house is useless without its inhabitant to make it into a home, and a person needs a house to live in, in order to have a home. In order to appreciate the "Rosh" you need to also grasp the "yeshiva". For example, can one speak independently about a teacher without elaborating on the roles of schools and students simultaneously? IZAK 17:20, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Where are all the non-Orthodox rosh yeshivas?
[edit]Why don't we list the Rosh yeshivas for the Union for Tradition Judaism's Metivta, or the Conservative movement's JTS, or the Conservative Yeshiva in Jerusalem? This article only presents the point of view of an Orthodox Jewish rabbi, and no one else. The Academy for (of?) Jewish Religion in Manhattan has a Rosh yeshiva, I believe. Mark3 ("3", because mark 1 and 2 are taken)
I agree with you on this. Also, Yeshivat Hadar and Yeshivat Chovevei Torah would both have Rashei Yeshivah. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.98.153.27 (talk) 01:38, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
In regard to above
[edit]Oh, it's interesting that you mention that. It's probably because non Orthodox Rabbi's are leading to the assimilation of the Jewish people. It's funny when they do that, haha. I can't stop laughing. Really hillarious, you know, how they're making the Jewish people completely dissapear. Reminds me of a particualr Everybody Loves Raymond. You know the one where Raymond's father leads to the assimilation of all the Jews in the world. It was a really good one, maybe you can catch it in reruns. I'll Tivo it for you if you want, just e-mail me your screenname or something. Later man.
Missing some roshei yeshivoh
[edit]BS"D
The listing for Ner Israel/nirc, is missing the roshei mesivta. --Shaul avrom 23:32, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
List of Rosh Yeshivas
[edit]I moved the current section to a new article/list. A cat already exists, but looking through the WP:ORBCW gave me the idea that many others are overlooked. I think that the main Rosh article should not be an article that needs to be updated. --Shuki 01:28, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
Steinzaltz
[edit]I did not know Rabbi Steinzaltz is a Rosh Yeshiva.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.93.254.200 (talk • contribs)
Then I suggest that you follow the link to the article about him. --Shuki 23:17, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
famous rosh yeshivas
[edit]Is there any special reason that this section be in the article? What is the standard for deciding who is famous? --Shuki 20:53, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
new perspective?
[edit]i dont think that presenting new chidushim is within the job describtion of a rosh yeshiva. it is a very common thing because rosh yeshivas are intelligent and do so on there own, but a rosh yeshiva is not required to have new chidushim.

Is a rosh yeshiva a "dean"?
[edit]Is a rosh yeshiva a "dean"? In my understanding, every Talmud teacher in a yeshiva is a rosh yeshiva. Every Talmud teacher at RIETS is called rosh yeshiva. The dean of RIETS is called the Dean. I realize RIETS is perhaps not typical of all yeshivot.
There is an internal inconsistency in this article. It says the rosh yeshiva is the dean and he gives the highest shiur. Then it says below that in some yeshivas there can be several rosh yeshivas, perhaps from the same extended family. How can there be many deans? How can there be many who give the "highest" shiur? This entry would seem to confirm what I am thinking, that rosh yeshiva is the term for all Talmud teachers in a yeshiva and that one of them, the most senior by inheritance or brilliance or consensus or ownership, serves as the dean.Twelve Manhattan (talk) 15:02, 12 January 2017 (UTC)Twelve Manhattan
- Firstly colleges have many deans not just one. Only in RIETS are all talmud teachers called RY. In most other places you just have one, or possibly two co-RY. Sir Joseph (talk) 20:56, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
Capitalize "Rosh Yeshiva"
[edit]I went through the article and capitalized the R's in rosh and Y's in yeshiva where they are part of a title (the Rosh Yeshiva) and not merely descriptors (a rosh yeshiva). My reasoning: this title is an honorific giving respect, like "President", or "University Distinguished Professor."
Title of this article: For certain, the Y should be capitalized because it is a compound, two word title. This page, entitled "Rosh yeshiva" is a redirect from "Rosh Yeshiva." It should be the other way around. Likewise with the Rosh mesivta page and title, both words should be capitalized.
I tend toward the title being not being capitalized after the name according to MLA guidelines (which follow Chicago Manual of Style)[1] stating, "...we lowercase the title when it is used after the name (e.g., Jane Smith, the president of Cleopatra College...".
I am not one to look at frum (Orthodox) publications for grammar guidance, but it seems to me that the common "frumspeak" custom is to capitalize both words.
Since this is not English, and there is no capitalization in Hebrew or Yiddish, is there specific guidance on this? Batya7 (talk) 21:49, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
- When we are talking about a person, then we should capitalize. But this article is about the noun, so we don't capitalize. We don't always capitalize president either, only when we are talking about a person, such as President Trump, or President Washington, but a president of a country isn't capitalized, same as rosh yeshivah.

Too many section headings have role
[edit]Too many of the section have the word role. Please help come up with alternative terms. Thanks! Editor2020 (talk) 22:09, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
