Looks like a puff piece to me, which that community doesn't deserve, they're fucking awful.

There are good and bad in all groups R1.

I could be wrong but I think that discussion of Hasidim is not kosher on DL.

Oh THAT Sarah Jessica Parker. Thanks for clarifying.

Most Jews can’t stand them either. They’re a cult like the Catholic Church, Jehovah Witnesses, and LDS. They’re scammers and tons of sexual abuse happens. They don’t go to the police. Avoid at all costs - although they rarely converse with anyone not one of them.

Were they the ones who had rabbis licking the blood off babies’ penises after circumcision which led to the babies getting herpes?

by Anonymousreply 6July 9, 2023 8:07 PM

r6 yes, regular circumcision is bad enough, they had to take it to a whole new level.

Yes, "There are very fine people on both sides."

The infuriating this is NY state government caters to these people. Every time they tried to come down on them it’s overturned. This includes banning the baby penis licking.

They scam billions through education, welfare and food stamps fraud. Politicians give them all they want because the rabbis, who tell their followers when to eat, shit, fuck and who to vote for, can deliver the votes. Like all cults they think non-Jews are beneath them and gays are evil incarnate.

Also, there is a big difference between the Hasids and Jewish Orthodox. OP you confused the issue putting Orthodox in the title while the linke speaks of the Hasids.

The NYTs, surprisingly, had several articles recently calling them on their shit.

I've met a few orthodox. They were fairly normal though the rabbi couldn't shake hands with any non-family females. The hasidics are nuts.

There's a spectrum of orthodox groups from Modern (Ivanka and Jared) to the feudal nut cases so these statements have to be qualified.

Hitler entered the chat earlier than usual at r1.

I believe the Hasidim are usually called "ultra-orthodox."

by Anonymousreply 17July 9, 2023 10:05 PM

Despicable, immoral cult. Pity these celebrities are so stupid to not do their research.

Leonard was at least Orthodox living on the Lower Eastside. He said of the Vulcan greeting:

That came from my Jewish background," Nimoy said in 2000. It's a gesture used in the Priestly Blessing during Jewish services.May 15, 2013 Yahoo

Suprisingly from The Times: 8 Hasidic Schools Failed to Provide Basic Education, New York City Finds An eight-year investigation determined that the religious schools were breaking the law by not offering thousands of students adequate instruction in English and math.

It took New York City’s government eight years to release a report about the quality of secular education in Hasidic yeshivas.

Despicable. Utter shame on her for associating herself with this openly homophobic and misogynistic hate cult.

They breed like MAGAS they are Jewish MAGAS.

Are SJP and Matthew Broderick raising their children as Orthodox Jews?

It would surprise me, but just a little.

Can't they do something about her head then R25?

by Anonymousreply 26July 10, 2023 6:22 AM

Only her father was Jewish, R25 -- so unless she converted, she isn't a Jew.

Matt's sister was my parents' Episcopal priest.

Do they still fuck through a hole in a sheet? The women shave their heads and wear wigs because only their husbands should see their head. I’m sure those guys are popping binning over a bald woman.
