What do you think was the meaning of this? If they were Christian converts, they would be under no obligation to dress recognizeably as Orthodox Jews.

They were Russian Orthodox Christians, obviously, as they were coming out of church.

Sorry for the confusion.

LOL!! The confusion was mine. I have lived in or near Jewish neighborhoods all my life, and I forgot about others called “orthodox!”
