Maybe this statement reflects my outsider status, but it seems to me that it would be considered taboo by the chasidim to be living in public housing…much less bringing attention to it through a lawsuit.

very unwise of the chasidim to bring the lawsuit. The Last thing they want is for a governement office to start digging for evidence.

Lost tribes… if there’s anyone who we should be reaching out to it’s our Arab brothers, many of whom descend from Jews of the second temple period and later.

Some of my patients do ask me about my children and I wish they’d leave me alone. I’m there to work.

But one thing absolutely horrified me once a Jewish pt (chabad) came in complaining about how exhausted she was because cleaning lady didn’t show up. Jewish ladies, please, don’t do that in public in a hospital in New York. The person in the chair right next to you could be a cleaning lady. And they rarely complain about it, though they’re just as pregnant as you.
