It pains me to admit (socially) but it angers me (as a taxpayer) as I wander through the backstreets and basement's Williamsburg (literally my job) to see these kids get starved of a decent secular education
And if they break out of the faith when they get older, it's even worse because now they've got limited English, and maybe a 5th grade math/comprehension
I've had doctors explain to me that they get 30+ year olds coming in with things that 🤕, they can't identify the part of the body that hurts 😢
When the 9-5 is the Torah, I guess it leaves less time for science/history/labor 🤷♂️
And I've met more than a few progressive Rabbi's in my travels, that have educated me plenty on the Jewish faith (I was raised Catholic) the status quo is quite strong in their community
At no point do I condem anti semitism (Kanye 👀), but I've got close friends who are more moderate/mainstream followers of Judaism that ask me how I deal with the neighborhood all day
That level of internal strife can't be good for anyone 🥺
All I want to know when I show up is who owns the building, where does the rent go, where can I find the super, and where's the meter?
And that's a perpetual struggle 😳
I know Sukkot season (just passed) but PLEASE stop blocking access to the gas/electric utilities with building materials
It only makes my job harder, and it's a massive fire hazard
