Reply To: What Does The Word Yishivish Mean?

Until I lived in Lakewood,I thought people were either frum regular or frum chassidish, or modern orthodox or not religious at all.Now that I am here many years, I realize that there are all sorts of yeshivos so you can be yeshivish Lakewood, Yeshivish Ner Yisroel, Yeshivish Torah Vodaas, etc. Within the framework of yeshivish you can be more or less modern, more or less chassidish, more or less Zionist, more or less gashmiusdik,more or less tsniusdik etc. If you live in a town that is based around a yeshiva and your husband learned there, then you are yeshivish. If you moved there because it was better than living in the city for various reasons, then you may or may not be yeshivish.
