Reply To: Becoming Yeshivish

yytz, interesting. Is it common to study in the morning and possibly at night while still working full time? I don’t want to feel like I’m sacrificing that physical Torah study, but I wish to apply it to the “secular” area of my life too.

I’m sort of happy that being yeshivish doesn’t necessarily imply that I’m going to have to be chassid and involve myself in chassidic teahings, because quite honestly I don’t care for any of it. I think I can draw a 1000 times more knowledge from Pirkei Avot than from the entire away of chassidic books.

Is it possible to be “yeshivish” and a Hirschian though? I don’t quite understand the core values of what it means to be yeshivish, so I’m afraid to stick connotations to it.
