oomis: You didn’t answer my question to you as where you park when you drive over to visit a residential area within two or three days of the storm.

LC: Yeshiva guys have more real knowledge, i.e. Torah, than just about anyone else. As far as Goldman Sachs, we’ll consider you a New Yorker if you are an arbeiter in the city that never sleeps – even if you sleep elsewhere.

They definitely can milk cows better than any city slicker, that’s for sure. And we can all agree that farming is certainly a necessity and vital function in this world that any country boy can put a sophisticated urban dweller to shame with.

CTL: Let’s face it, every hick town’s got elected officials. But don’t kid yourself about the level of education. New York’s a highly educated town any way you face it. Some of the most powerful and educated players grace this city. You aren’t getting a job with Goldman Sachs without a resume that will soften any country boy.

But let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves; the entire premise of this thread relates to the frum world, and as everyone knows the New York Metro Area has, by far, the largest number of gedolei rabbonim, yeshivos, butei medrashim and kollelim than anywhere in the entire chutz la’aretz.

Now of course we must admit there are exceptions to every rule. And by all appearances, you certainly are a New Yoker at heart. Indeed, by recollection I believe you’ve even indicated you’re a New Yorker by blood and upbringing. And as you’ve surely heard, once a New Yorker always a New Yorker. It’s the same thing as once a Jew, always a Jew.

Someone got it, someone got it, yes the thread was worth it!

Thank You, MDG.

golfer: The CC’s map doesn’t use humor.

RY23: Living in the boondocks gives you lots of room.

C’mon, those hillbillies aren’t so sophisticated! Besides, they have to walk more than half a block to the closest shul. Some are rumored to even walk miles!

I remember when… some of today’s posters here were still in diapers!

Though it may be parts of the Jewish community of Monsey and its environs are part of the Ramapo Central School District, and thus not included in the above numbers, effectively the total then being larger.
