Reply To: Pressure in Yeshivos

newhere: My experience and my friends experience has been as I said. I cannot speak for every yeshiva and kollel.

Generally, I think we are confusing the lack of regulation with the lack of pressure. Sure, you can go to coffee room and nobody will say boo, but you think that people will look down on you- which is the worst kind of pressure.

Everybody in yeshiva knows who the slackers are. We might not tell you when you call about your daughter, but oh we know.
