Reply To: Yeshivish and Manners

I do not have an agenda and I’m not trying to put anyone down. As a matter of fact I consider myself yeshivish and my friend is more yeshivish than I am.

I merely want to point out something that I, and my friend have observed, so people can do something about it.

Also, manners and middos are not the same thing so they cannot be interchanged, as some people have done. Manners stem from societal norms, while good middos come from torah study, self improvement, and mussar.

The observation is that more so called “modern” people are more in touch with societal norms, and general society, so they MAY BE MORE LIKELY teach their children manners. While, so called “yeshivish” people are less in touch with societal norms and general society, so they MAY NOT teach their children good manners.
