My son has been in a very good yeshiva in Eretz Yisroel for almost 2 years now, and I’ve started to notice a concerning trend about him. In many of the sentences he says over the phone, he’ll throw in phrases such as “kol tov” or “do you mochel me” in a way that doesn’t really fit the context. Sometimes it’ll be every other sentence! Should I be concerned my son is picking up all these phrases in yeshiva and incorporating them into his speech? Does this mean anything?
