ubi > Chazal say Chazaka people don’t lie if they will be found out, it doesn’t seem to be true anymore.
this might be true … this might be a sign of our assimilation into American culture with the first amendment right to say almost anything. And I do not see much difference in this aspect between modernishe and not. I wonder whether British or other Jews, who live in less boastful societies, see this better from outside. Anyone here?
