In 2012 I began a certain engagement as a way to fill what the academy tellingly calls a period of ‘leave.’ That engagement constitutes study at Mesivtha Tifereth Jerusalem (MTJ), the ‘last remaining’ yeshiva on New York’s Lower East Side, and it began and remains ambiguously situated between the rhythms of anthropological fieldwork and those of the adult, full-time occupant of a beis medresh. My experiences there provoke a number of critical questions. Why is it so comforting to devote hours to a single commentary by the medieval scholars known collectively as Tosafos? What is the relationship of ‘slowdown’ at the yeshiva to the notions of ‘residual’ cultural formation (Raymond Williams), ‘traditional’ institutions, or the reactionary versus the modern? In the broadest terms, what is the relationship between rhetorics of time, the experience of time, and economies of time at MTJ
