Yehuda Geberer: What's the History of the American Yeshiva World? [American Yeshiva World 3/3]

This month of learning is sponsored by our dear friends Matt and Mollie Landes of Riverdale for the neshama of Dovid Yehonatan ben Yitzchak Yehuda.

In this episode of the 18Forty Podcast, we speak with Yehuda Geberer—a researcher, educator, and tour guide—about the history of the yeshiva world.

In this episode we discuss:

How did we get from the start of the Lithuanian yeshiva movement to the American yeshiva world of today?
What were the premodern precursors to yeshivas?
What effect did the Vietnam War have on the development of the American yeshiva world?

Tune in for a conversation about “change in service of perpetuating the eternal.”

Interview begins at 22:43.

Yehuda Geberer is a Jewish history researcher, educator, and licensed tour guide who leads heritage tours in Europe and Israel focused on the modern Jewish story. He guides at Yad Vashem, where he also interviews Holocaust survivors, lectures internationally, hosts the popular Jewish History Soundbites podcast, and writes the “For the Record” column for Mishpacha Magazine. A former Mir Yeshiva student with a business degree from Ono Academic College, he is currently studying Jewish history at Hebrew University and lives in Beit Shemesh with his family.
