    What exactly does this mean? Do they speak with women, wear black hat everyday, learning? Doesn’t seem yeshivish and modern mix. So confused. Thanks.

    It means that during davening, instead of reading a Reb Elchonon they are reading Traditions.

    Here is how one might identify them:

    Their wives wear only black hats.

    They say “Oy” for Cholem but also pronounce “Sav” with a hard “T” sound.

    They wear colored velvet kiparkas.

    It means different things to different people. I assume you’re asking for shidduchim purposes. My suggestion is to ask specific questions about the issues that are important to you, and don’t worry about labels.

    I thought it meant a yeshivish blogger

    Why am I the only one who answered seriously?

    You did? Turning it into a shidduch thread is answering seriously?

    Anyway, I like squeak’s answer best.

    “Modern” doesn’t have a set definition, so Yeshivish mixes with some modern (the ones who are “modern” because they were born yesterday).

    So none of you know, ok.

    If you are talking about for a man, it would usually refer to someone with a yeshivish-type yeshiva background, but he would be in college and/or working, and in general is more worldly than the typical kollel man. He would likely be into sports and politics, and read the Wall Street Journal, rather than strictly the Hamodia and Yated.

    sorry fif, i disagree. while i dont know what yeshivish modern means, i assume it has something to do with modern orthodox, and what you are talking about doesnt

    #1000376

    Who says yeshivish modern “has something to do with modern orthodox”? You can’t be yeshivish and modern orthodox at the same time. Yeshivish modern means a yeshivish person who has more ties to secular society than other yeshivish people.

    In your opinions, is it acceptable for a Yeshivish “Modern” fellow to talk to women? Small talk but can be extensive…oh and married is it ok??

    calm down, its not an attack. i thought about it a little and its possible im wrong, but i strongly believe that when someone uses the word “modern” to label a person it usualy means MO, and not “current”, even if it is preceeded with the word “yeshivish”. il reiterate that i DONT know what it DOES mean though
