Besides the diversity of backgrounds and teaching styles, it offers the benefit of particularly effective learning due to the pressure of being "Rebbe" every two months or so. All men are welcome to join the weekly shiur next Shabbos, Dec. 24, when we begin Masechet Kiddushin, in the Yeshiva after the 8:00 AM kiddush.
