As far as what a “true Litvak” is, I think we can fairly say that the type of Litvaks seen by the Brisker Rov and his successors and talmidim today as well as the type of Litvishness on display in the Ponevezh Yeshiva in Eretz Yisroel today, to take two contemporary exemples, is a far closer rendition of the type of Yiddishkeit lived in Lita in places like Vilna, Novardok and Kovna — than the type of Judaism that in this thread is being called “classic Litvish”.
