Reply To: Questions About Monsey's Litvish/Chasidish Sociological Mix

Hi,

Maybe I should have worded the OP differently however I think that there are a lot of super sensitive people out there.

I do not want to live among-st Chasidim. They are fine people but I still would rather be surrounded by my own. Why the big deal?

Very many communities the world over are of a specific type. Yes, there is always variation – no one is the same – but there is a certain style. And when a neighborhood starts to change, people of one kind start to move out. Why? Can’t they just live and let live? The answer is that it is not about hate. It is about personal preference.

If you know anything about the different communities of New York over the last century it is 100% true.

Not everyone that says something that rubs you wrong is an Anti Semite. I know that comes as a surprise but try to digest it.
