Among the different sects of orthodoxy, whether Sephardic, Chassidishe, Yeshivishe, Modern, whatever they are- even though each group may argue bitterly with each other- the common denominator between us all is that we all conform to the words of our leaders. We do not choose for ourselves what the correct approach to the world is, we defer to our Rabbis.
Actually the modern are the exception. They, b’shitta, don’t have to listen to the words of their leaders. Much like the non-Orthodox.
