You don’t need to go to the movies so see what Chasidism is about. Come to Boro Park for a Shabbos
and you will see the real beauty.bplady: Wouldn’t Williamsburg be a better place to go to in order to understand this?
Come to Lakewood if you want to see what so-called Ultra-Orthodox (more accurately known as: Yeshivish, Chareidi, or Frum) people are about, and if you want to meet super-nice people! I could write a book about how nice people in Lakewood have been to me every time I’ve been there.
From strangers (or near-strangers) opening up their homes and letting me (and others) stay by them and not making me feel the least bit like an imposition to strangers (or near-strangers) offering me rides, people I barely know giving me gourmet meals when I happened to stop by their house unexpectedly, a community of people who are always super-nice and sweet and friendly. People who are always ready to help with anything and always have a pleasant word for whomever they come into contact with.
Note: This is not to take away in any way from the above-mentioned places. I just happen to know about Lakewood, and not about the other places.
What a nice post LilmodU!
Lakewood isn’t always discussed in the most admiring manner.
Your post should go viral.
Instead of that other article that’s been making the rounds this week.
There aren’t a lot of people like you who bother to express Hakaras hatov, and express it so well.Golfer – thanks so much!!! 🙂
