Everyone keeps bringing up the “homey” definition. Thats too literal though as Oomis points out. How would you describe a person who has heimishe hashkafos?
In every sect you can say that there some sort of general fabric that classifies who would part of the group. For example, MO, I would say generally subscribe to JB’s hashkafos, are usually more zionistic etc. Yeshivish are more likely to have an English conversation peppered with Gemara words, etc.
What stereotypes can generally describe a hashkafically heimish Jew?
