If you are talking about Yeshiva Bnai Torah, YBT, then that would Hellenism.
They are about the intellect conquering all – reason above everything. They have a strong dislike of anything too religious (as defined by them). They are against using emotions, except when they disagree with you, then they will get all hot telling you how you are being emotional. Happened to me after I asked a simple question and the rabbi did not know the answer. Maybe he did not understand the question, could have been my bad communication. Either way, there was no need for personal attacks. I almost laughed in his face – hearing him getting all emotional and yelling at me that I was being emotional. Such irony.
