The term "Lithuanian Yeshiva" refers to a style of Jewish religious education that originated in Lithuania during the 19th century. These yeshivas focused on rigorous Talmud study and intellectual debate, emphasizing critical thinking and analytical skills. They played a significant role in the development of Jewish scholarship and produced many prominent rabbis and scholars. Lithuanian Yeshivas were characterized by their unique approach to learning, often involving a method called chevruta, where students study in pairs. This educational model spread beyond Lithuania, influencing yeshivas worldwide and contributing to the broader Yeshiva movement in Judaism.
