Several Talmudic scholars of note have emerged from the yeshiva. Among the most prominent is Yecheskel Sklar, author of  Toras Haman Ha'agagi, a complex treatise regarding the acceptability of Amalekite conversion.[5] Sklar is especially noted for breaking convention by engaging in pilpulic methodology, as opposed to the more common Brisker method.
