Rebshidduch:
1. I don’t think he meant that the only definition of someone “yeshivish” is that he wants to spend a certain amount of time learning. I think he meant that is part of the definition. For example, if someone does not keep Shabbos but is or wants to be learning full-time, he obviously could not be considered Yeshivish.
2. When he wrote that it has to do with how much time the person WANTS to be learning, I don’t think he meant someone who theoretically wants to be learning but meanwhile is not motivated and is going to movies instead. I think he meant someone who wants to learn but either needs a parnassah or else knows that he will be more productive if he works 4 (or 6 or 8 or whatever) hours a day and learns for 2 (or 4 or 6 or whatever) hours a day.
But I think we are talking about someone who does not waste time and is focused on his Avodas Hashem the entire day – he just may feel that his Avodas Hashem right now does not entail learning 24/7.
Yekke – feel free to correct me if that’s not what you meant. Thanks!
ps: moderators: hope I got the italics thing right this time. Feel free to “fix” if not. Thanks!
