Reply To: Yeshiva Guys Fashion

Dear UJM

I mamesh love you.

1) The only thing that people like about English are our accents, you know when I’m in arzei and this lady asks me directions and then throws out how she loves my English accent. But it’s only those kav people who think that we are actually sophisticated. And by the way, I actually think that a lot of Americans are better spoken than English.

Why do I think you look down on us? Well, clearly not you and when I go to America everyone is super nice but it is more in the American matsav in Israel, there they are not so interested in English coming in and wreaking havoc. I also think that once too many English guys start coming to a American Yeshiva. I’ve also had some disparaging remarks made more than once, but no worries, I still love Americans.

2) Yeshivos, money, tzedaka, music, chessed etc. etc. etc.

3) A circus tent hat are those massive hats that some people still insist on wearing. If you are lucky enough to have a shver and he’s over sixty, he might be wearing one.

4) Cole Hann shoes are what I have on my feet. Swiss are the shoes which look like sneakers (trainers in my language) and have a “q” and epes maybe a “c” printed on the side, and Lululemon are what is now in the UPS delivery depot, I missed the delivery twice, but they are an overpriced pants (trousers) which are actually really cool and stunning fabric and the cool guys wear them.

You should be gezunt un shtark!
