What does the term “balibatish” entail? (And is “balabuste” part of the same terminology?)
February 6, 2011 1:30 am at 1:30 am #737604Be HappyParticipanteveryones measurement of balbatish is different
February 6, 2011 2:09 am at 2:09 am #737605real-briskerMemberusualy the opposite of yishivish
February 6, 2011 2:53 am at 2:53 am #737606observanteenMemberI think a balabuste is one who cooks, bakes and cleans well. There are many definitions for balbatish: well off, working class or rachvus.

February 6, 2011 6:03 am at 6:03 am #737609smartcookieMemberObserv said it well.
Balabatish means well off (and not linving stingy). Balabuste is just a woman who cooks bakes and cleans well (like myself!!)

February 6, 2011 12:39 pm at 12:39 pm #737612seeallsidesParticipantIt’s cute because we just had a what is heimish thread-balibatish is one word that means totally different things to heimish/yeshivish
heimish-balibatish means with a touch of elegance,generously
yeshivish-balibatish means someone who is really not totally into learning, doesn’t totally appreciate kollel,not that they don’t learn, but by heimish they appreciate the guy who made it big in stocks/mortgages/builder etc, while going to a shiur before davening (and doing well in it).
Makes for very necessary clarification when asking information 🙂
February 6, 2011 3:43 pm at 3:43 pm #737613NonsenseMemberbalibatish = pertaining to home-owning
eclipse: both are correct ravchus & rachvus. Ravchus means plentiful, rachvus means broadness
February 6, 2011 3:59 pm at 3:59 pm #737614candy613Memberwhen i think balibatish i think of those guys who spend millions on schnaps on shabbos and get drunk by kiddushes

February 6, 2011 4:23 pm at 4:23 pm #737617always hereParticipantI always thought balibatish meant heimish Chassidish.
February 6, 2011 9:38 pm at 9:38 pm #737618shlishiMembermust one be heimish to be a balibatish balabuste?
February 6, 2011 11:11 pm at 11:11 pm #737619observanteenMember“pretty sure it’s raVCHUS”
No, I don’t think so. I actually meant RACHVUS – as in generous or something like that. Haven’t got the proper English translation for it.
February 6, 2011 11:51 pm at 11:51 pm #737620takish mamishMemberBalabatishe are da best
IMHO
February 7, 2011 2:49 am at 2:49 am #737621bombmaniacParticipantactually, when used in different settings it can mean different things. gossiping in shul it means well off/heimish. in yeshiva it means one step up from am ha’aretz or cute but simple.
February 8, 2011 12:55 am at 12:55 am #737622jewishnessParticipantit means nisht greasy
February 8, 2011 2:30 am at 2:30 am #737623oomisParticipantI always thought balabatish meant someone who is pleasant and menschlech. it literally comes the hebrew baal habayis (or homeowner, and more loosely, head of the house), and when said quickly, becomes the one word.
