Yeshivot are traditional Jewish places of learning, where young men spend time studying Jewish law, philosophy, and texts such as the Torah and Talmud. A yeshivah is essentially a school or seminary, with the term originating from the Hebrew word for "sitting" or "sage." These institutions provide a broad Hebrew education, usually under the guidance of rabbinic leaders or scholars called roshei yeshivah.
