Reply To: Modern Orthodoxy

Thanks for the answers, everyone. I didn’t yet read through all of Joseph’s post, I’ll have to save that for some other time, but basically everyone else seems to indicate that there isn’t much difference.

What flatbusher said, many “balabatish” people don’t wear hats for davening and aren’t considered modern orthodox, and as far as women being more relaxed in their dress: you’re right about that, but as far as halacha goes the only thing they really do wrong is not covering their hair and that’s not enough to define the difference between modern orthodox and regular orthodox. (I know I took that line out of context and your answer was more substantial than that.) (And as it happens, there is a major decline in tznius among chareidim recently.)
