Yeshiva

pl. Yeshivot

1. A Rabbinical Seminary in which young men studied Talmud under the guidance of learned Rabbis. The Yeshiva was a prominent part of European Jewish life, and was attended by many religous teenagers until they would need to work.

2. A post-high school institution in which only Jewish studies, such as Talmud, are learned. This is in contrast with religious high schools that teach both Jewish and secular subjects. However, some Jewish high schools are also called Yeshivot.

After high school, Josh spent two years in an Israeli Yeshiva.

Moshe, rather than attend university, chose to stay in Yeshiva and become a rabbi.

Yeshiva League

The Yeshiva League is the elite jewish high school circle in the tri-state area. If you are in the yeshiva league, you are automatically cool and all of your friends who live in Florida are jealous. Your purim parties are the littiest and everyone wants to hit your dope blue juul because it's holy and has been passed around the entire league. If you haven’t been added to Mr. Worldwides custom you are officially a failure to your entire family, you will be excommunicated by your community, and your juul will hate you. You spend your whole life waiting to experience the wonders and magic of Beach St, Englewood in simchat Torah where you will make the connections that will help your career as a yehsiva leaguer and find your roommates for yeshiva/sem too. If you are in the yeshiva league, your sports teams suck but no one has the balls to tell, you so there are still tournaments all across America for you. You low key hate yourself but you sleep well at night knowing that HaShem loves you.

Moshe: Yooo I got with this girl Sarah and I'm so cool now!
David: Bro doesn't matter she ain't in the yeshiva league.
Rebecca: hey guys let’s hit up Chickies tonight!
Julia: nahhh The yeshiva league decided that central avenue is where They’re convening tonight.

Yeshiva Week

This is winter break for Jews. This takes place in mid-January where every Jew from the northeast migrates south for two weeks. Popular destinations are Miami and Israel. In Miami one must stop by the FountainBleau in order to be cool.

“Yo dude what are you doing for winter break/yeshiva week?”
“I’m hitting up Miami this winter break... Fountain Bleu chills gonna be littt!”

Rosh Yeshiva

The Dean or Spritual Leader of a Yeshiva

The Rosh Yeshiva got up to address the entire Yeshiva

Yeshiva Leaguer

Someone who goes to a Yeshiva League school and is proud of it. Probably from the 5 Towns. Definitely doesn’t go by their first name, either last name or initials. Wears a hoodie and joggers to school and a velvet kippah. Juuls like nobody’s business. Follows Yeshiva League Pass. Uses the word Nashim instead of girls.

Moshava Girl - Ugh those Lavi kids are such Yeshiva Leaguers
Morasha Girl - I think they’re hot

Yeshiva League Hockey

Yeshiva League Hockey is the floor hockey that has been played in majority of tri-state Jewish high schools for many years. This sport is played like ice hockey except on a wooden floor with a orange rubber ball rather then a puck. All the good players use an HM30 and warrior sticks. Many players use lacrosse type gloves made by the brand STX or WARRIOR. Many people spend too much money on this sport which they have no future in. Previously the championship winners varied but nowadays it’s mainly TABC and Frisch. These two teams are rigged and will keep winning forever. Many consider this sport to be for babies and not real hockey. Being cool in the Yeshiva League requires you to be on this team in your school.

“Yo did you hear how TABC won the Yeshiva League Hockey championship?”
“Yeshiva League Hockey isn’t a real sport”

Yeshiva League Legend

Someone in the Yeshiva League who is known to all. They could be a legend for their fashion, sports skills, or even for absolutely nothing. If you meet them you have to pretend that you do not know them even if you know their whole life story.

Sara: Omg I just met David Goldberg. You know who that is right?
Meir: Of course I know him! He is a Yeshiva League Legend. He is the star of the SAR basketball team, won every single camp intercamps since 3rd grade, and even scored the winning shot at sarachek.
