Reply To: Question to Toi on Modern Orthodoxy

Because ashkenazim feel a need to have sects — perhaps an ancient minhag from the bad side of the late second temple era — we have a sect called Modern Orthodox and another one called “yeshivish” (which is a new thing. Ah mohl there weren’t enough yeshivaleith in one place to make a sect) all the chassidim l’mineihem, another one called heimish (cultural chassidim, but no chassidish hashkafa. How this becomes a sect is beyond me) and yet another one called beis-yaakov-yeshivish-withit-light-hold-the-mayo. Sephardim have a much more sensible attitude.
