Reply To: Out-Of-Town Jewish Hillbillies

CTL: Let’s face it, every hick town’s got elected officials. But don’t kid yourself about the level of education. New York’s a highly educated town any way you face it. Some of the most powerful and educated players grace this city. You aren’t getting a job with Goldman Sachs without a resume that will soften any country boy.

But let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves; the entire premise of this thread relates to the frum world, and as everyone knows the New York Metro Area has, by far, the largest number of gedolei rabbonim, yeshivos, butei medrashim and kollelim than anywhere in the entire chutz la’aretz.

Now of course we must admit there are exceptions to every rule. And by all appearances, you certainly are a New Yoker at heart. Indeed, by recollection I believe you’ve even indicated you’re a New Yorker by blood and upbringing. And as you’ve surely heard, once a New Yorker always a New Yorker. It’s the same thing as once a Jew, always a Jew.
