Honestly asking what due sensitivity was missed here.
- fortran77 7y agoThey talk about the Hasidic community as if they were Martians.
- atonse 7y agoGot any examples? I didn't see anything like that in the article.
- enjoyyourlife 7y ago"Alexander Rapaport... often serves as an informal guide for reporters to the insular Hasidic communities"
- jf22 7y agoHasidic communities are extremely insular...
- ghostbrainalpha 7y agoCareful now... that comment seems to have a strong anti-Martian bias.
- mtnGoat 7y agoI didn't feel that it represented them like that at all. They are walk unique way of life and outsiders have questions, I felt it did a good job conveying why some of their religious practices make them ideal candidates for Amazon businesses.
- MisterTea 7y agoMy commercial tenant is hasidic and he and his brothers might very well be from mars. It's a very insular community and they don't mingle with outsiders as much so it can get a little strange or awkward. If I stop by and one of his brothers is there they act as if they are afraid to talk to me or dont want to. Feels awkward. If he's there, he hands me a beer and chews my ear off for an hour while chain smoking. Very cool dude and usually the convo is about interesting stuff like culture, art, life and politics. Though he admits that he is the black sheep of his family and half a pariah in the community because he does what he wants. Has more energy than the sun.
