Marx, it’s not multi cultural. It’s about respecting daas torah, whether that be the satmar rov, or rav moshe feinstein. Chasidishe gedolim were the architects for their communities. They are entitled to their opinions. They held that English should he kept at a minimum. They’re successful, and they are not harming any other part of klal yisroel in their ways – chasidim support many needy litvishe yidden, especially in eretz yisroel.
The Times’ piece was anything but accurate. They interviewed drug addicts, drop outs, and the most nebach people they could find. They didn’t interview a single average chasidishe businessman – that’s where they mostly go. And they’re very, very successful in business. They’re also very creative; Hamodia had a three-week series in their magazine showing the success of the heimish world in business, skilled labor and other parnosa fields.
The article did not mention the strong family structure, low crime, drug and unemployment rates, or anything else which shows the success of the education system. It’s a different kind of success, it’s not designed to produce accountants.
