Yeshivah (pl. yeshivot). Institute of Jewish
Talmudic learning. The term ‘yeshiva’ is applied to the
academies of Jewish learning in Babylonia and
Erez Israel Last in which the
amoraim studied the
Mishnah (see
TALMUD), to the academies of
Sura and
Pumbedita in the
geonic period, and to later local Talmudic institutions. By the mid-16th cent., many yeshivot were supported and governed by local community councils. The curriculum centred on the Talmud and its commentaries, although
minhagim,
posekim, and
responsa were also studied.
