Reply To: What Does Modern Yeshivish Mean?

I never viewed this exchange as personal. I tend not to get insulted by people who post on an internet forum, whom I have never seen nor spoken to.

“When someone cant separate themselves emotionally and intellectually, they are being close minded and doing themselves a disservice from learning from those around them.”

I disagree with your definition of open mindedness

People use the term open-minded the wrong way in my opinion. I would define open mindedness as being tolerant of other people’s lifestyles and viewpoints. That being said, if one desires to be considered minded, he or she must not only be tolerant of those that are less religious than them, but also those that are MORE religios than them. Why do we tend to think of it as only a one way street?
