At that age, many of them don't fully comprehend why they are doing what they do, such as in taking on a black hat (or a srugah, of that matter). It's only years later, if ever, that they understand how much or little of it was peer pressure/searching for a community.The Rebbetzin's Husbandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14977193945074906534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7898782635470765614.post-18179692955973473832008-05-21T22:40:00.000-04:002008-05-21T22:40:00.000-04:00what i thought was missing from the Flipping Out s...what i thought was missing from the Flipping Out study was the serious issue of <I>realignment of community identification</I>. just because you wear a hat it doesn't de-MO'ify you; however, wearing a black hat in order to identify with the "black hat" community, its ideals and soundbites, does realign someone's allegiances. and then when they send their children to be educated in the new community, they're effectively flipping out of their old allegiences and "switching sides". the factors the study looked at are purely cosmetic in comparison.Steg (dos iz nit der šteg)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07694556690190505030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7898782635470765614.post-35149842613008829862008-02-01T00:59:00.000-05:002008-02-01T00:59:00.000-05:00Thanks for the reply.

But recognizing that factor would be a good first step toward reconciliation.The Rebbetzin's Husbandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14977193945074906534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7898782635470765614.post-86308560353863498202008-01-30T00:48:00.000-05:002008-01-30T00:48:00.000-05:00It's funny, I had a similar discussion with a frie...It's funny, I had a similar discussion with a friend tonight about what why my "covering my head w/ my tallis" is doesn't make me modern (I also rock a beard/hat and I'm currenly listening to Sonic Youth's "Daydream Nation" album as I think about finishing a post of my own).<BR/><BR/>You hit the nail on the head, "today’s youth have a version of Modern Orthodoxy that differs from the version of their parents is simply that they live in a different world." Parents probably don't get it. Just like when we go on a road trip and my kids wake up and hear Queen or the Talking Heads. My 8 yr old can't stand secular music (97% of what I listen to is "Jewish") basically because he's grown up with Uncle Moishy and Piamenta. We and our kids are products of our "surroundings".<BR/><BR/>A well stated post.Neil Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12797772082427806345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7898782635470765614.post-88761189816321060492008-01-28T11:42:00.000-05:002008-01-28T11:42:00.000-05:00You are sooooooooooooooo Modern Orthodox, it's not...You are sooooooooooooooo Modern Orthodox, it's not even funny.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
