Where is your Shtender?


Maybe during the next Shabbes you'll be invited to visit a honorable religious house and you will see an interesting piece of furniture, reminding you of your time spent in school. If it looks like in this picture, it might be a Shtender.

This is the place where you stay to learn or davening, where you put your siddur, at home or at your yeshiva.

From the pedagogical point of view, it shares a different conception on education, where anybody is directly responsible for acquiring knowledge, praying and the interaction with the professor/rav is individual.
