Excerpt: A yeshiva (plural yeshivot) is a Jewish educational institution that focuses on the study of traditional religious texts, primarily the Talmud and Torah study. Until the late 20th century, yeshivot were attended by males only. Many Modern Orthodox yeshivot have opened since then for girls and women. A yeshiva gedola ("senior/great yeshiva") is a post-secondary institution, whereas a yeshiva ketana ("junior/small yeshiva") is an elementary school or high-school. A kollel is a yeshiva with a framework for independent study and providing stipends for male married students. Studying is usually done through daily shiurim (lectures or classes) and in study pairs called chavrutas (Aramaic for "friendship" or "companionship"). Chavruta-style learning is one of the unique features of the yeshiva. Alternate spellings and names include yeshivah (English pronunciation: Hebrew:, "sitting..".
