Shalom

The word YESHIVISH is generally associated with people who have greasy collars and dirty pants and learn or learned in a yishivah, and cant talk straight or aren't able to express themselves to people unlike them, without using long nonused vocabluary which they read in a goyshe newspaper or an artscroll book.

But lemaseh (we will explain it later) it's a way of life of thinking, of knowing things which are based on a Torah approach that went through years of history and lately (the last 70 years) through the Yeshivos.

I like to put together a bunch of zachen with which one can learn about being yeshivish.

It can be usefull for anybody and even for those of us who went to a yeshivah but missed all of it.

  1. Yishiva is generally spelled "yeshiva". Either way keep up the good work.

  3. define yeshivish- when we say something is goyish it usually means "something goyim do" which would implicate yeshivish is something yeshivah people do. however when yeshiva people do goyish things and goyim do yeshivish things then how are we to define anthing?
