Show of Hands

I will starting tomorrow.

I can’t believe Scientology is a religion here

Believe it!

The article where the picture is from claims they are Orthodox Jews:

Well yes, Chasidic Jew’s are Orthodox but not all Orthodox Jews are like that

My bad. I could have chosen a better picture for Orthodox Jews.

It’s fine. They are orthodox but they are just a small percentage of orthodox. It’s like using a picture of an Amish guy as a Xian. He is Xian but not representative of all Xians.
Just wanted to make that clear.....that’s all.

The Hasidic are extremely wealthy in the city. They are all business people and a lot of them work in the diamond district. The women wear wigs and have babies. They don’t assimilate and stick together.

Russian that’s exactly how they dress.

Yes....that’s how some of the Chassids dress. My point was that not all orthodox are chasids but all chadids are orthodox

Satmar, Ger, Lubavitcher.....they all dress a bit differently

Oh ok. Yes the “L” group I’ve seen too.

Also in Israel many Chasidic Jews are not wealthy at all. Some modern Orthodox Jews grew up Chasidic but fell away from that and became more modernized. Still observant but they integrate more.

Russian what group does your family fall in?

I’m a Jew and we are like everyone, some Jews I like, a few I was to give a tonsillectomy to, which my fingers, while he’s standing upright. A few I just ignore. Some I practically hero worship

Btw, I feel the same about everyone. I grew up in a mixed neighborhood. My friends were from every corner of the earth.
