Here? They do in Israel.
Here too.
Yes there are a lot of them on welfare here—but not like in Israel. The government has been forced to finance their stay home and study Torah instead of going out to work, joining the military to defend a country that the Arabs want to drive into the sea, etc etc. The reason many of them are on welfare is because the men are very uneducated except in the realm of Torah/Talmud study. There are a number who have gone on to get a higher education. There are a number of different groups of black hats. The Lubovitch, the Satmar, and a whole bunch of different other ones. Thw Lubovitch are a bit more sophisticated and do a lot of good work in their own community —the Satmar, forget about it—very backward. The other groups I am not too familiar with—they are all named after the city in Europe where their head rabbi was. I don’t want any orthodox Jew in here giving me lip that I am anti-Semitic, because you’re playing the same game as the Obama folks when up against any criticism play the race card—(who did they learn it from socialist Jews who don’t give a damn about Israel anyway). Haredi get you soft butts out there and defend your country. You in Israel are in a different situation than we are in America at present. Your butts are much more on the line.
