I see yeshivish and chassdish as basically the same.

Their belief systems are basically the same. Both believe in seclusion from rest of the world. No college. Not addressing female colleagues by their first name. Distinct dress(for men I guess you can argue that yeshivish are not as distinct, but they still do seperate themselves by wearing a hat and jacket everywhere). Also, hair chumras. Keeping sideburns long, no longer hair, no hairstyles. Also, they both have distinct manners of speaking. Whether it is words used or accents. It’s sometimes hard to understand “yeshivish”. I also think that yeshivish people see chassidim as an ally in the fight against modernity. Even more so that non hassidic regular observant Jews.

Obviously there are differences between the groups. But the cultural differences are getting less and less noticeable.

I’m curious if anyone else sees the situation in a similar manner to me.

As a non hasdidic ovservant Jew who sort of went through yeshivish schooling it bothers me how much things have shifted. Unless I’m just seeing the world clearer and things have always been this way.

Edit: I realized I did not properly characterize what I’m referring to when I say “yeshivish”. I apologize if no one recognizes these institutions. Im referring to Lakewood, BMG, Adirei Hatorah, keren hatorah, slomowitz, Brisk, Yagdil, Pragers….

That may be French to many of you lol

For reference feel free to Google Adirei hatorah video from last night. That’s what I mean.
