at this synagogue, they don't beat you up......yet

aw, ain’t those hasidic Jews funny?
Their spiritual leader dies, so now there’s a power struggle for control of the sect. But dont worry, they’re trying hard to keep the level of violence as low as possible…

from this newpaper article

Now that’s good news…I sure hate it when they beat me up at the synagogue.

Fucking Satmers.

Alessan, that post begs for a follow-up. What’s your issue with the Satmars?

He’s a secular Zionist Israeli. His issue with the Satmars should be obvious…:slight_smile:

Yeah, but it’s kind of like me and the Amish. I’m not into that whole lifestyle, but how much do they really bug me? I mean, if you’re going to be a religious nut, you’re only doing the world a favor by being insular, no?

Sorry, this is becoming quite the hijack.

Wow. The most violence I’ve ever seen in a synagogue was at the synagogue I used to go to in Berkeley, where we sometimes threw candy at a bar or bat mitzvah.

Don’t some folks throw furniture at women who pray at the Wall? ;j

Sal Ammoniac:

It’s more than that. Satmars are actually anti-Zionist.
