Reply To: questions about the yeshivish world

@no mesorah in europe the litvishe women also didint cover their hair – the chafetz chaim writes about it, as well as others,
@avirah: see the teshuvah i quoted from rav moshe himself where he asks how can chabad follow a psak of the baal hatanya that he told to all the sofrim (its a psak about stam) when they dont know the reason, and the gemaros mentioned, and in sh”u too, and in practiclly every introduction to every halacha book today, or piskei teshuvos, all talk about this idea that in order to pasken you need to understand the psak.
im just asking uestions, not saying its wrong.

so back to more uestions on the yeshiva world:
1) why do they push off getting married passed 20 (especially being that they learn in kolel and dont need to to to work after they get married)
2) can someone explain to me where this idea came from that a kolel yungerman of 30 (i.e.) is learning day and night since 13, and still didn’t finish shas (even mishnayos) rather he only learned certain mesachtos and mainly spends his day with pilpul. when did this start, and why?
3) is there a sefer that is accepted by litvaks as their hashkafa? nefesh hachayim? and what percent of litvaks have learned the whole thing?
