There seems to be a phenomenon that when people start to make money they make believe that they are chasidish either in levush or they change the way they read Hebrew. Stay in your lane?
Ever heard of a tuna bagel?
Lakewhut,
Well it goes two ways. What does it mean to be hiemish? I see many who’d never do a shidduch with an “American”. But if they have money they become hiemsh and shidduch worthy with the finestJust hang around a newly affluent yid when he gets to Avinu Malkenu and see if you can understand a vert of his adopted sephardeshe nusach
Many if not most people tend to dress better if they start to have more money. And the more affluent you are, the more your accent tends to reflect the “better” class of people you associate with. That is human nature and applies to all cultures.
@lakewhut It would seem to be nothing more than a bit of an identity crisis, caused by them losing/questioning who they actually are due to their newfound money. Its not really a ‘stay in your lane’ vort, its more don’t let money corrupt your personal identity (or have a personal identity, so money won’t expose your lack thereof).
It happen only in the Troller Bais hamedresh
@common saychel
You always have such deep insight. Tnx.
As has been conclusively demonstrated in peer reviewed studies, inside even the most ehrliche Litvishe yid beats the heart of a chassidishe wannabe.
you need to look at underlying causes of this worrisome trend to “making money”?
Are they involved in unregulated interstate commerce? Then, they may be picking up levush and accent from their mafia friends.
Are they getting, H’V, college education? Then, they start dropping Rs in Hahvahd …
Are they stam printing money at home? Then, they will stay “heimish”
