	Yeshivish - Definition, explanation
		Yeshivish is spoken mainly by English-speaking Orthodox Jews who have attended a yeshiva (an institute for higher Torah study), and is, indeed, the primary vehicle of communication in major American Litvish yeshivas.
		One serious study of Yeshivish has been made by Chaim Weiser, who says that it cannot accurately be called a jargon, pidgin, Creole, or an independent language; he instead refers to it as a shprach (which basically means "language" or "communication" in either Yiddish or German).
		Although it may not yet be a pidgin, Yeshivish may someday be analogous to English in the way that Yiddish is to German.

	The Knish
		Some U.S. customers have complained that the Yeshivish technical-support representatives are difficult to communicate with because of the way they pepper English sentences with various old world Yiddish/Hebrew phrases - a phenomenon better known as "Yeshivishe Reid."
		Dell is one of a number of high-tech companies that have in recent years moved jobs to Brooklyn yeshivas and other developing yeshivish communities for the cheaper labor, which in Dell's case helps keep down the cost of providing round-the-clock support.
		Among Dell customers dissatisfied with the company's use of yeshivish labor is Ronald Kronk, a Presbyterian minister in Rochester, Pennsylvania, who has spent the last four months trying to solve a problem that resulted in his being billed for two computers.

	Cross-Currents » Yeshivish Mainstreams!
		It may be the first major publication to fully embrace the use of Yeshivish in common discourse.
		Yeshivish creeping into the mainstream troubles me. If those who speak yeshivish jargon—which, as most jargon, is designed to immediately identify those who didn’t grow up around it—could turn it off, I’d be more impressed.
		There is nothing that will bring a smile to my face like a discussion b’inyan “Yeshivishe Reid”(even though as mentioned in the comments, the Burg article is a sad one).

		Weiser maintains that Yeshivish is not a pidgin, creole, or an independent language, nor is it precisely a jargon.
		Yeshivish has not evolved into a separate language from English, perhaps for lack of sufficient time, and perhaps also because American Jews are more integrated into general society than their European forebears were hundreds of years ago.

	Tearing Off Labels
		Another popular label is "Yeshivish," which is used as a direct contrast to "Modern Orthodox" and is meant to imply a higher level of Torah knowledge and observance (than even the "Machmir" variety, if this can be possible).
		"Yeshivish" is usually meant in a positive way, but sometimes it is used derogatorily, as in "too Yeshivish." Hence we have the derivative labels "Modern Yeshivish" and "Black Hat Yeshivish." The former would seem to be a contradiction in terms, while the latter implies authentic "Yeshivishness" due to the ever-meaningful fl hat.
		We also have "YU Yeshivish" and "Lakewood Yeshivish." The former seems to refer to someone who attends college but doesn't take it too seriously (quite a line to have to toe), while the latter implies "real" Yeshivish.

	Yeshivish - meaning of word
		Yeshivish is spoken mainly by English language-speaking Orthodox Judaism who have attended a yeshiva (an institute for higher Torah study), and is, indeed, the primary vehicle of communication in major American Litvish yeshivas.
		One serious study of Yeshivish has been made by Chaim Weiser, who says that it cannot accurately be called a jargon, pidgin, Creole, or an independent language; he instead refers to it as a ''shprach'' (which basically means "language" or "communication" in either Yiddish or German language).
		I don't speak Yeshivish either, but I strongly suspect a sentence like ''The cat was lying on the chair dozing in the sun'' would be "translated" into Yeshivish as ''The cat was lying on the chair dozing in the sun'' (and not, say, *''The kats was ligndik on the shtul dremlendik in the zun'').

		Yeshivish may become to English what Yiddish is to German, but it's not there yet.
		The term "hava mina" is a noun in Yeshivish, despite being a verb phrase in Aramaic, and the sense of "keneged" meaning "in opposition" exists in Yeshivish, but not in classical Hebrew (where it means "concerning").

	Yeshivish
		Yeshivish is a dialect of English spoken mainly by Orthodox Jews who have attended a yeshiva (an institute for higher Torah study).
		Yeshivish differs in the sense that logical deductions are generally introduced by their Aramaic or Hebrew terms as employed in Talmud study.
		Objects can be yeshivish if they meet the standards of students - a yeshivish car is a jalopy as nobody expects anybody from a Yeshiva to be able to afford better.

	Yeshivish LANGUAGE SCHOOL EXPLORER
		Yeshivish is an adjective/adverb used to describe the societal, cultural and linguistic norms and mannerisms of those who attend a yeshiva.
		Written Yiddish uses the Hebrew alphabet; written Yeshivish usually uses the Latin alphabet, although words of Hebrew or Aramaic origin are often written in Hebrew characters with English suffixes added using Roman characters.
		While Yeshivish is the spoken language in most American Yeshivos with a modern twist, there has been a great shift and drive to speak Yiddish.

		"Yeshivish" (colloquially, [sometimes pejorative, sometimes affectionate] "fl hat" or "fl") suggests an Orthodox outlook in which the focus of life is Torah study, as is done in Lithuanian-style Yeshivos.
		In Israel, Agudah Yisroel is chassidic, and Degel haTorah is yeshivish.
		This is partially because in America, the Agudah is a communal organization that runs a number of charitable, humaniterean and outreach projects and lobbies and advocates for the rights of Torah-observant Jews and to protect and strengthen Torah observance.

		I have always thought that "Yeshivishe" was a foreign language because I have a copy of the "Pledge of Allegiance" translated into "Yeshivishe".
		I just always assumed there was a sect associated with the language due to the distinctive dress of both men and women speakers of "yeshivishe".
		I have been assuming that any linguistic resemblance between "yeshivishe" and to the word "Yeshivot" which are (in Hebrew) institutions of Torah education is merely coincidental.

	Back Row Of The 'Beis: Dating Sociology
		Basically, in a yeshivish setting where everyone marries too young to really develop as individuals beyond the context of their families or communities, the sorts of background checks that parents run are totally justifed and meaningful.
		However, in an Modern Orthodox setting where people are already living away from home, in college after years in Israel, working and living as part of a young community, etc. and already building their own lives, most of the sort of background info that gets collected simply doesn't mean as much, if anything at all.
		Now, in the system, as it is currently practiced by the Yeshivish Orthodox community, from months before a boy or girl decides to start dating, their mothers, fathers, siblings, grandparents, and various relatives start keeping an eye out for potential spouses.

	Yeshivish at Yale - New York Times
		While I am sympathetic to the desire of the ''Yale Five'' to avoid the worst excesses of dorm life, I find their approach to the problem deeply troubling (''Yeshivish at Yale,'' by Samuel G. Freedman, May 24).
		More and more, we as a society are rejecting all solutions to conflict except two: violence and the courts.
		Merely suing those who get in our way is a poor substitute for real activism, in the name of religious or any other kind of freedom.

	Mail-Jewish Volume 21 Number 54
		In recent postings, the "yeshivishe" pronunciation of Hebrew has come in for heavy criticism, to the point where some writers demand that Jews who pronounce Hebrew that way revise their pronunciation.
		One reader feels apologetic about using the "yeshivishe" pronunciation "rebbe" of the word resh-beth-yod He need not apologie; the Kaufmann Codex of the Mishna and others attest to the vocalisation "rebbe" THOUSANDS of times.
		The bottom line is, that the "yeshivishe"/ Yiddish reading tradition has been proved to preserve ancient readings so often that there is a heavy burden of proof on those who would change it.
