But the Adler family is Jewish, that means what?
When I saw the flight was to Detroit, I wondered if muslims on the plane are stirring up trouble for Jewish family?
One one trip, I was seated near a person that smelled like a bag of boiled onions dipped in rotting fish and a guy who was eating sour cream and chive chips and licking his fingers and wiping them on the seatback in front of him.
It was only a 70 minute flight and I spent most of it in the toilet.
I was responding to the name.

Judging by the photo and his name, I’d say they’re probably ultra-orthodox or possibly Hasidic. Strangely enough, the menfolk often seem to have an aversion to bathing, wearing deodorant or getting their usually heavy woollen clothing cleaned. I worked in a business that had several of employees from Borough Park; one of the men had a private office, and we all dreaded having to go in there because it smelled so bad.
I think failure to take care of hygiene was intended as a declaration of unworldliness and piety.
Oddly enough, I never noticed that the women smelled bad, although then again, one had little contact with the women, who adhered to a strict dress code (always covering their hair, never exposing their elbows) and who usually didn’t work outside the home or at any rate in any non-Orthodox Jewish business.
Worked with lots of Jewish guys. Most did not smell. One smelled awful. Another Jewish guy says that he was a ( pick a sect. I forgot). And they stay in a natural state.
That’s it. Can’t remember the sect
It means they needed a bar of soap and instructions on its use.
