This is also true of some ultra orthodox sects of judaism that are thriving.
- verbify 8y agoCan you name the sect? I was raised as an Ultra-Orthodox Jew and this is not normative.
- imbokodo 8y agoThe Syrian Jews in Brooklyn, New York are near-impossible to convert into. I don't see it as inconceivable some other sect banned it altogether.
- verbify 8y agoThey do marry other Jews or descendants of converts from other courts, they just don't marry converts or convert using their own courts. Therefore they are not a real endogamous population. Also, the edict is only since 1937, they were accepting converts earlier than that. So fundamentally they aren't a success story - they haven't been doing this very long.
- imbokodo 8y ago> They do marry other Jews Other Jews can marry in, but even this is limited. The majority of self-identifying Jews in the US would not have the qualifications to marry in. Any how, they are an insular community.
