Okay… What then makes a person Yeshivish Inclined or Yeshivish leaning?
#thanks
My Rav identifies with the Yeshivish Black Hat world, but he’s pro Israel He’s also okay with watching decent movies though I doubt at his house as he does not have a TV, and definitely not at the cinema. One of his daughters had a strictly segregated wedding & his wife and daughters dress Yeshivish style (which includes stockings. I find the MO community do not conform to this…). Is this a Modern Yeshivish Hashkafa?
hashtag poster, I read that but I still don’t feel like I clearly know the line that differentiates Yeshivish Modern and MO? What about baalei teshuva who consider themselves MY? They only got frummer, no? I consider myself ‘Yeshivish-leaning’ so do I tick MO/MY?
What’s the difference between Modern Orthodox Machmir & Modern Yeshivish?
I thought the Syrian community only accepted sincere converts for whom marriage/a relationship was not a motivating factor. According to the Wikipedia article on Syrian Jews:
Based on these standards a goodly number of converts have been accepted into the community. Genetic characteristics play no role whatsoever.
