Shopping, I do realize that in any case, you were just responding to Sparkly and your point was not to generalize but to defend the way that people in EY do things. I just think that it’s important to point out that many of things you mentioned apply to Yeshivish Americans as well and do not have to do with being Israeli but rather, with being Yeshivish (or Chassidish for that matter).
I do agree with your bottom line different communities have different ways of doing things and people should be respectful of that and of the fact that someone growing up in one type of community will be ready to get married at a different age than someone from a different type of community.
