Rebbe Yid and cholentmama:
Again, this was in response to cholentmama’s assertion that “There should be no Modox or Yeshivish or Chassidish.”
And, again, nobody is judging any individual person.
However, the MO “movement”, is, by definition and in plain fact, influenced by outside sources.
Not only does MO not see this as the problem(s) that our gedolim (Rav Shach, Rav Schwab, et al.) noted that it is, MO considers its approach to be even superior to the Torah-only approach.
That many MO are (otherwise) very frum and have vast Torah knowledge (like their non-MO counter-parts) is really great. But these other influences cannot be ignored.
So, again, there does, therefore, need to be a distinction between “Modox or Yeshivish or Chassidish.”
