What age range are you in: teens, 20-24, 25-29, 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, 60’s or other (please specify)?
Are you male or female?
Single or married?
Chareidi or MO or other (please specify)?
Note: you don’t have to answer all of the above questions if they are too personal. The main thing I was curious about was age, but then decided to stick in the other questions.
Here I go being reckless online by giving way tmi….
20-30 range (sorry, don’t want to narrow it down <i>too</i> much.)
Female
Single
While i don’t quite conform to one specific party line, I guess I’d say I’m rw mo (uh oh, now i’m a marked man on this forum) with a lot of breslov, chabad, and other paths inspiring my avodas Hashem.
also, i’m a fish.
Teens, female, single, charedi
gofish – whats rw modern?
Right wing Modern Orthodox.
I do come from a BY (Bais Yaakov) background, and appearance wise look like a BY graduate. I’m talking hashkafa here.
gofish – the type mo i am?
60s
Male
Married
Old enough to predate the Chareidi or MO labels. OOT we were known as European Traditional. That meant, orthodox shul with Mechitza or balcony, kids went to day school then college and professional school with a year or two of post high school full time learning. Kosher homes (before the Glatt craze of the 70s using local butchers and bakeries). Married women covered their hair with wig or a hat outside the home. Shomer Shabbos.
Today, I think we would be known as MO (although I don’t consider myself modern) because we are content to live in small town mixed communities and do business in the mixed world.
In 140+ years this system has worked for our family in America
You got it, lilmod ulelamaid!
Also different from chareidi is the approach to interaction with the world – the philosophy of Torah Umada- appreciating higher education, quality secular art and music (not the decadent sort), modern advances such as technology (internet, for example), reconciling Torah and science, etc.
Sparkly, I have no idea what kind of MO you are.
The only thing I know in relation to you and MO that you seem to think that MO is “less” frum than chareidi, and that their halachic shittos are less legitimate. I don’t think that my path is less frum than chareidi, and for me, I am more frum with this approach than I would be if I was chareidi. The reason I chose this path was not to “get away with things”, but to have a truly authentic Judaism that resonates with me and enhances my avodas Hashem.
Nile age – between juvenile and senile.
20-30. Male. Single. I’m charedi but only socially. I believe in hashem and his torah and not in institutions.
lilmod, no. I’m going to seminary bezras Hashem. Many posters forget I’m the youngest here because I’ve just been here for so many years…
🙂 It’s a good thing. People take me more seriously than a high schooler (or at least I hope they do)
lilmod ulelamaid – im pretty sure she said she just graduated.
Teens -it’s almost my birthday I can’t wait to give u each personal brachos
Single-ready to mingle
I feel like the word female is very medical so im a girl (secretly a princess)
And being that I seriously hate labeling myself and others my background is not chassidish my family is semi chassidish I live in chassidish place and i loooove it!!! Me personally? I label myself as someone who is trying to be so good and i fail alot of times but that doesn’t stop me from continuing in my ways of trying to please hashem in any way I can…..I do need to work harder though 🙁 that’s I’m making a new thread…stay tuned
