R Twersky writes that modern Jewish education became, unfortunately, standardized so that non-conformal thinking is suppressed.
R Kirsteinbaum (sp?)/Waterbury writes that “we are losing our Resh Lakishim” because of that.
Some other Rav writes how Jews were sent to Golus to collect good middos from all nations. He has a lot to say about all those nations, but for America he has – “ability to do everything at scale”. So, it works for Mcdonalds and Google, so the scale in America works for large yeshivos … Most of us are so assimilated (whether we wear coloured kippot or shtreimels) – that we do not even notice that this conformity is not our mesorah.
