but modern yeshivish is EITHER:THE RESULT OF A YESHIVISH KID AT RISK WHO CALMED DOWN AND DECIDED TO REMAIN FRUM JUST NOT EXACTLY LIKE HIS/HER PARENTS OR:THEY WERE RAISED MODERN ORTHODOX AND ARE TOTALLY CONTENT AND UNREBELLIOUS.”
Please don’t type all in caps, it is the equivalent of shouting.
Modern Yeshivish is a person who is machshiv learning, but also sees and learns about the world around him. He is probably educated, going for a degree in an area in which he expects to make his parnassah, and is dedicated to a Torah life, while at the same time involved in the secular world as well. I believe many of our Meforshim could be thus classified, including Rashi and Rambam, and many Gedolim today are learned in both Torah AND Madah. There is nothing whatsoever OTD about them, they just have a life outside of the Yeshivah, too.
