Chasidic Jews attacked in the private home and synagogue of their rabbi in Rockland County, NY. Was this a hate crime? Was this an anti-Semitic act? Was this perpetrated by the cultural and racist divide that exists now? The attacker was allegedly black, but was it a Trump supporter? Many questions. If this bothers you please join us at Jewish by Culture. Thanks.

It really bothers me that ANYONE anywhere gets attacked in any way for how they look or what they believe. Really those are the only 2 criteria. Skinhead, racist, misogynists can believe whatever the fuck they want - I DO NOT think they have any right to cross the street to mess with people who don't fit their into belief system. An idealized thought cause we know they can only think about wanting to cross the street and force their beliefs on others. 😟
The fact that religions have divided their beliefs into sects is just odd to me. Do humans simply enjoy conflict?

I personally have nothing in common with Chasidic Jews-they want nothing to do with Reform or Conservative brought up cultural Jews. However they have a right to their privacy in their homes and to worship how they please.

@sassygirl3869 Goes without saying really. I just used the example of a really extreme group that just can not seem to be kind to those outside thisr belief. Chasidic Jews do not go out attacking those not of their belief parameters. Do Chasidic Jews go out and pick on other less strick Jews? Can anyone not of their belief even know? Clearly I am not Jewish or I might not be asking these questions.

@silverotter11 they are of the belief that their god chose them. I do not believe that Jews are the chosen people. No one is better than anyone else.

@sassygirl3869 And sadly that is the basis - one group thinking they are better; when in reality no one gets to be special and no gets out alive. 🙂
