Haredi is a new term to people like me, a 66 y/o Catholic.
I’ve never heard of it before right now.
I’ve always thought highly of the Jews in a general sense, because early in life, I could see that they had a great respect for learning, and made their kids study.
That said, Wiki tells me Haredi Judaism is a group within Orthodox Judaism that is characterized by their strict adherence to Jewish Law, aka Halakha and traditions. They are opposed to most modern values and practices. It’s members are often described as Ultra Orthodox.
Haredi Jews regard themselves as the most religiously authentic group of Jews, although most other movements of Judasim disagree.
I’ve gone often to my local Chabad synagogue, and they know and study and TEACH the truth of Torah.
