Can we please stop this negativity and bashing of large communities of Jews? This topic has been discussed numerous times. Instead of bashing Brooklyn Jews lets do our best to try and do what’s right REGARDLESS of what others around us do.
We must try to be welcoming to all (I know I try to wish others a good Shabby even if we don’t know each other, believe it or not once in a while you get someone who is down and your friendly good Shabby can give them a pick up)
We must try to keep our eyes open for new people on the block and do our best to be friendly to them and make them feel welcome. Every little bit counts.
There are plenty of good excuses I can give for why people aren’t friendly in Brooklyn and many of them are very valid excuses but they won’t help the situation. The only thing that will help is if enough Yechidim make the effort to be different.
