Yeshivish

That they’re not chasidish.

Which people?

It’s Jewish. Perhaps.

Yeshivish, as used colloquially, generally means:

• A belief in Daas Torah – that the Gedolim’s words and actions are inspired by ruach hakodesh, and that one must obey their words.
• A preference to stay as separate from the rest of the world as possible: this means no TVs, no movies, little internet, sometimes no secular literature, and generally no knowledge of popular culture.
• A belief that men should spend as much of their lives learning Torah as possible, even at the expense of things such as money, education, and time.
• A very strong sense and appreciation of Jewish tradition, though some argue that many of “yeshivish” traditions are really the Jews’ host countries’ traditions.
• Yeshivish communities are often close-knit, with large families and much gemilas chasadim.

I tried to be impartial. Feel free to dispute these points, or call me an apikores, or never look at my posts again. 🙂

Okay, can you redefine it?

I think it is lacking because many, if not most, disagree with it.

For the most part, no.

We think they have better insight into what the ratzon Hashem is, and if we want to do the ratzon Hashem, we should follow them. We also think that through their learning, they become clear thinking and through their righteousness, the ability to be unbiased, and that therefore it makes sense to turn to them for advice.

For the most part, no.

DY: So how did Rav Chaim, just the other day, offer a Yid a solution to his medical dilemma – which to boot was in contravention to his doctors opinion?

VIDEO: Hagon HaRav Chaim Kanievsky Tells Man ‘Not To Have Surgery’; Read What He Told The Man To Do Instead

Or is Rav Chaim just not Yeshivish?

So what is it?

I don’t know how he knew not to do the surgery, so I don’t know if it was some sort of medical knowledge/experience, or just plain siyata dishmaya.

the definition as everyone knows yeshivish to be means very religious. i dont know maybe where someone else lives theres a different definition?

my version is someone who is very religious, marrys kollel, doesnt listen to not jewish music, wears skirts past their knees by around 4 inches, doesnt talk to boys, doesnt go to college or at least not jewish college, doesnt watch tv, doesnt use internet, etc…. (i like to consider myself yeshivish even tho i dont match that exact version i try to)

There are also 2 different things- yeshivish “culture” and actual yeshivish beliefs and practices.

Some people are yeshivish because they follow Comlink-X’s definition. Some people are considered yeshivish because they talk the talk and dress the part and mingle with yeshivish people.

So you ascribe to Moses Mendelssohn, ??? ??? ????? ?????? ??????

I’m in college, too, and I also have a lot of goyim around me. I don’t change my standards around them.

MsPrincess- Touro has many divisions, only the ave j night program and LCM/LCW are separate for Men and women. All the rest,including all the graduate schools are coed. The environment is like any other college.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yeshivish (Yiddish: ???????), also known as Yeshiva English or “Yeshivisheh Shprach,” refers to a sociolect of English spoken by Yeshiva students and other Jews with a strong connection to the Orthodox Yeshiva world.

and I have a total of ONE other frum person in my class.

My definition for yeshivish was always if you or your spouse /one or both of your parents are in chinuch, because it naturally makes the home a very torahdik and sheltered atmosphere. but lately im not sure if that’s so true..

Technical21 – yes.

“Let me explain something to you. There is a concept of

daas Torah. What is daas Torah? It is a sort of ruach hakodesh

that exists today. When a person sits and learns, when he

immerses himself completely in Torah, then when he is asked a

question, he isn’t the one answering it – it’s the Torah within

him that’s answering. Today I’m old and constantly falling asleep

over the Gemara. I’m not immersed in learning all the time.

But your father [Rav Chaim Kanievsky] is constantly immersed in

the Torah. When he answers your question, it will be the Torah

answering you. It’s like ruach hakodesh.” – The Steipler,

as quoted by R’ Avraham Yeshaya Kanievsky,

as transcribed and translated by Mishpacha staff

(If I had to guess, “immersed” was originally “areingetun.”)
