Beth Medrash Govoha Summary

The following paragraph provided courtesy of wikipedia.

The yeshiva studies are based on classical Torah study traditions using the Talmud, Shulchan Aruch, responsa and rabbinic literature as texts and sources. The daily schedule consists of three sedorim, or study sessions, devoted to study, plus daily prayers and meals. However there also exists a system of chaburahs (group study) where 10-70 scholars form a chaburah (group) to study specific sub-texts within the Talmud and/or Shulchan Aruch. All of these take place in one of the over eight study halls available throughout the four study buildings of Beth Medrash Govoha. On this day all the students of the yeshivah gather outside the main yeshivah building on 7th street and arrange their chavruses (study partners) for the coming semester, as well as what particular “limud” (subject matter) they will be studying, which is done through joining a chaburah (study group). It is the Rosh Chaburah’s responsibility to arrange enough seats for the members of his chaburah and to decide the limud (subject of study) that will take place for the rest of the semester, as well as make sure that there is a lecture given on the subject studied at least once a week. When all lists from all the Rosh Chaburahs have been received, a map of each study hall is posted with highlighted areas designating the seats that belong to each Chaburah. The following is a schedule of the study sessions in Beth Medrash Govoha: The registration and acceptance into Beth Medrash Govoha can be divided into two steps: Applications to enroll into the yeshiva are accepted twice a year, in the summer for the winter semester, and in the winter for the summer semester. Among other things, students discuss with potential study partners what limud they would like to study, and also make sure that the study partnership has the potential to succeed, both on a personal level and on an intellectual level. Additionally, it is at this time that students are required to arrange entry into a particular “chaburah”, or study group. The Yeshiva has also bought the conservitive and reform houses of worship on 11th street that are to be converted to study halls one that will contain 1000 students the other 1500. On the first floor it has a small library, and two study halls: This building located on 7th street across from the main Beis Midrash (northeast to it), originally built out of trailers and contains one big study hall.
