Hello, I am looking for some information on teh yeshiva in waterbury. What types of boys go there? Are the boys serious? Any info not found in a brochure would be really helpful. My son is interested and we dont know many boys there.
Thank you in advance!

The boys are serious, but it's not for your traditional intense and yeshivish boy who would go to Lakewood. The boys there are definitely more open-minded and worldly, and are less likely to become long-term kollel learners.

There is a significant number of very troubled boys in the Yeshiva, who the Yeshiva tries to be mekarev. As the boys get older, some mature and become more serious about their yiddishkeit. In general, it is a very laid back place with little pressure on the boys. The hanhalla and rebbeim are supposed to be excellent and take a real interest in each individual boy. This Yeshiva is not for a serious, motivated Yeshiva bochur looking for an intense learning environment.
