Yeshivot are places of study educating Jews in the laws and ways of the Torah. There are different types of Yeshivas catering to different age groups, religious movements, and ideologies. In general, the term Yeshiva is mostly associated with those institutions catering to men, while the Midrasha is a similar institution for women. Every Yeshiva differs in size and scope, but their main features are the Beit Midrash (the room in the Yeshiva where the learning takes place) and the Rebbe who heads the Yeshiva.
