A polemic opposing the educational approach espoused by Agudath Israel and criticizing in particular the course of study promoted by R. Meir Shapiro, founding director of Yeshiva Chachmei Lublin. “Look at the dreamy “batlonisch” faces in the group picture of this World Yeshiva. Could one even imagine that an outstanding leader will arise from such types?” (p. 105).
