I recall from living in Brooklyn in the 80’s that the Hasidic men would head over to Manhattan in their Hasidmobiles (big station wagons)to cruise for hookers in Times Square and around the Park. Holier than thou, not!

Let me get this clear: You lived in Brooklyn and knew that “Hasidic men” were going to Manhattan to cruise for hookers. So...you followed the Hasidmobiles to Manhattan and observed “Hasidic men” soliciting prostitutes? How many times did you do this? Did you personally observe and identify the driver of each vehicle to verify that the driver was a “Hasidic man”?

I am not “Hasidic” but I am an Orthodox Jew. I deeply resent your gross generalization that an entire segment of Orthodox Jewry are “Holier than thou, not!”. Have there been cases of Orthodox Jews behaving shamefully? Of course. But your comment suggests that based on your personal knowledge, that this was a common occurrence among Hasidic men.

I know hundreds of Hasidim and live among thousands of them and they are extremely modest in their personal behavior, extremely careful to avoid any type of improper liaison with women outside their families, extraordinarily kind, moral and decent in every way. Of course, I won’t be as presumptuous as you and assume I can generalize that every single Hasid lives a perfectly moral life, but I can testify that the overwhelming majority are living moral lives only dreamt of in other cultures.
