Reply To: What does “Yeshiva World” mean?

I think you need to chill out a bit.
Yes, it is a modern term that stems from a label. Labeling is not a new invention and in the previous generation, we just had different labels. For the last generation, they created labels based on country of origin(Litvaks, Yekkes, Morrocan, Galicianer), city of origin (Brisk, Warsaw), or religious/philosophical affiliation (Chasidishe, Conservative, Mizrachi).
As time goes on less people care about these labels so we created new ones. Essentially the label “yeshiva world” is based on self-identification. There are also degrees of how closely a person will want to affiliate with his chosen label. This will be demonstrated in his dress, manner of speech and other external manifestations.
Keep in mind none of this is related to a person’s personal Judaism which has solely to do with his/her closeness to G-D.
