The Official Leitzanus Scale

Moshiach Level (0 to + points)
No leitzanus detected. Your behavior is so proper, Eliyahu Hanavi might show up for your next shiur.
Talmid Chacham Level (-1 to -5 points)
Minor leitzanus. You might crack a joke during bein hasedarim, but nothing the Mashgiach would notice.
Standard Bochur Level (-6 to -10 points)
Moderate leitzanus. You've been known to use the beis medrash for the occasional non-learning activity.
Beinoni Level (-11 to -15 points)
Serious leitzanus. The Rosh Yeshiva has given you "the look" at least once this zman.
GREENSPAN LEVEL (-16+ points)
The absolute pits of leitzanus. You've probably been asked to leave multiple yeshivos. Time to consider a career in klezmer music.

Important Yeshivish Guidelines

Listen, this isn't some simple matter. We're talking about serious business here - the fine line between proper frum behavior and leitzanus.

After extensive research in yeshivos from Lakewood to Bnei Brak, we've developed this definitive leitzanus rating system. This is daas torah, you should know.

And listen - the worst level, the absolute bottom of the barrel, we call this the Greenspan Level. Why Greenspan? Don't ask. Just know that if you reach this level, it's time to find a new mashpia.

So you should know - if your friends describe your behavior as "Greenspan-level", do teshuvah immediately. Better yet, learn the first perek of Maseches Brachos by heart.

Remember: A little leitzanus might be funny, but too much could land you in the cheder yungerman section.

Frum Pro-Tips to Reduce Leitzanus

  • Learn an extra blatt Gemara each day
  • Attend the Rosh Yeshiva's mussar vaad
  • Limit "bein hasedarim" to actual breaks
  • Save the Rosh Yeshiva impressions for after graduation
  • Remember: A frak is for special occasions, not for Mincha on a Tuesday

* All ratings are l'chatchila according to our poskim. No guarantees expressed or implied. If you reach Greenspan-level leitzanus, we recommend speaking to your Mashgiach immediately.
