“A home surrounded with Torah has no Tv, movies, non Jewish music and other secular stuff in it.”
Clearly you missed my comment in the Giloy Arayos thread where I mentioned that I didnt want those things in my future home.
“It has NOTHING to do with yeshivish. Nothing! It has to do with being machshiv Torah and living your life according to the Torah.”
I’m going to disagree. There are levels. Would R’ Chaim Kanievsky watch a movie? C”V! But there are Rabbonim in America (who write in the Yated no less) who have TVs in their home. How do I know? I dated his son. My point is I dont think its so black and white. If I was going to be R’ Elyashiv’s future Rebbitzin (and maybe I should strive for that) I would be looking at this differently, but all I want is a good ehrilch boy who loves and appreciates Torah and wants to grow together with me. At 23.5 my lifes work isnt over.
