“Many (perhaps even close to a majority) who today call themselves Litvish are actually from Chasidish/heimish families. They come from Hungary, Poland, Ukraine, Austria, Czechoslovakia, etc., where their grandfathers or great-grandfathers were Chasidim or Oberlander.”
Joseph on the other thread:
“This is a falsity. Halachicly one should not change from his father’s derech, minhagim, etc. That a requirement.”
