Fear of God is mentioned a few times in the Bible as being very important.
I have seen this a lot. You walk into some yeshiva and it seems like everyone is half asleep. And even when they are awake I get the definite impression that they could not care less about what the Gemara says. Their learning Torah could not be any more apathetic and pathetic. They are clearly there for one purpose alone. To get the kollel check at the end of the month.
The only places I saw different were NY Lithuanian Yeshivas. But I was not in Ponovicth or Brisk and I would assume they would be like the places I saw in NY.
