I have a question by which no offense is meant- but I have always been curious- what’s the deal with everyone in brooklyn having to stare at a folded newspaper no matter where it is (American/goy papers, not Jewish publications)- whether it’s half folded in the dispensaries that sell them or if its quarter-folded in the little red home delivery bag, I always see frum people on the way to shul stop dead in their tracks to bend over and read whatever letters are visible on the exposed surface, even if it means awkardly standing bent over someone’s front doorstep squinting at the ground until they finish reading whatever is on there..

If you do this- please explain what the fascination is and what you’ve gotten out of it

If you don’t- please tell me I’m not alone and you’ve seen this a lot too!
