i was at a basketball game last night with my kids, it was a stupid game and my kids were getting restless.
Part of the side entertainment at the game was “dancers”, now im not talking about the prutzos that we all stare at our phones til theyre done. They had senior dancers.
Basically the local senior center sends over a bunch of old people to “dance”
I was so surprised when the old men came out in…hats and jackets.
I dismissed it as old people, but as i was walking out if the game i saw a bunch of black hats (they were wearing coats so i dont know about the jackets).
Is this a new thing? Are yeshiva guys gonna start feeling a lot less embarassed to wear what theyre supposed to wear?
Why are you going, and even worse – taking your innocent children! – somewhere they have what you call prutzos dancing at?
Maybe they were making fun of them?
You cant ask a kasha on a maisah.
All the genuine Yeshiva guys I know are NOT embarassed to wear hats and jackets.
Why should they be?
Perhaps those who spend their free time playing basketball are embarrassed to be seen wearing hats in public.
It sure looked classy on shelly silver.
a jew who cares- why you so judgemental? Stop focusing on other peoples growth
All I’m saying is that a genuine Yeshiva guy is comfortable in their own skin.
No real yeshiva guys are embarrassed to dress like yeshiva guys. The only ones embarrassed are the fakers; like those who go to places with immodesty.
Has anyone seen the magic kippa? made in israel it looks like a little toupee and was designed for jews in europe who cant feel safe wearing a kippa in public.
a jew who cares- so to be comfertable in your skin and consider yourself a “yeshiva guy” you have to wear a jacket and a hat all the time? Is a coloured button down shirt on a weekday a sin?
the plumber: Your cause and effect are reversed. Yeshiva guys wear those clothes because that was what was considered respectable when those “old guys” were growing up. It’s nothing about what they’re “supposed to” wear.
Actually, summing things up in simple sentences is a good thing as long as it’s accurate.
Just to clarify a recent post of mine, I am not embarrassed to wear a hat and jacket. However, I do find it very uncomfortable to walk around all day with them. And so, if I’m outside and need to daven Mincha, I will daven without a h/j instead of running home to get it.
If you don’t like it, too bad! That’s me. Am I Yeshivish?!
SiDi™
sidi: During the summer some people are uncomfortable wearing more than a t-shirt, shorts and sandals. And when needing to catch mincha won’t run home to change. That’s them. Are they yeshivish?
Sidi you are indeed yeshivish which is determined by your good heart and ahavas yisroel.
Lior, that is who they are and I’m OK with it. My entire post was in reference to my previous post on Veltz Meshugener’s “
In defense of your fakery” thread.

SiDi: I’m not at all the posek, Rav, or any other other of the like, I’d just like to comment that in my humblekite I think it would still be preferable to run home and get your hat & jacket because off ???. A special act of preparing oneself for the audience and meeting of the Big Boss in Heaven.
-my humble thoughts, feel free to correct me.
Look at what the shulchan aruch says about a beged meyuchad letfilah, then we’ll decide who’s yeshivish. Btw, how do you define yeshivish?
LF: It is possible to accomplish Hikon without getting a hat and jacket.
I always wear a hat
Also sidi I thought u were a girl
as a yeshiva bochur i can say that wearing a hat and jacket basically just adds to the respectable look yeshiva bochurim are supposed to have thats all it means to me
i myself wear a hat and jacket and enjoy the look
It’s a very good look, both because it simply looks good, and because in comparison to some of the trash people wear it makes the wearer look respectable and refined in comparison.
BTW, this applies to all tznius and sensible, smart clothing, for any gender and any age (well, definitely the latter point).

I define Yeshivish as someone who is a lamdan and has good middos, one without the other would not qualify.
its non of the plumbers buisness what they do
A lot of things look great in comparison to trash.
