Yeshiva
A Yeshiva or yeshivah (Hebrew: ישיבה, "sitting (n.)" ; pl. yeshivot or yeshivas) is a Jewish institution for Torah study and the study of Talmud. Yeshivot are usually Orthodox Jewish institutions, and generally cater to boys or men. A roughly equivalent womens' institution is the midrasha.The term yeshiva gedola ("senior/higher yeshiva") refers to post-high school institutions, and yeshiva ketana ("junior yeshiva") refers to institutions catering to boys of high school age. The term "Yeshiva" is also used as a name for any school that teaches Torah, Mishnah and Talmud, to any age group.
