Except for within the world of business and commerce,
the Hasidim rarely interact with the general public. That is their
way
of maintaining their identities in an often hostile
world, leading outsiders and even many non-religious Jews to wrongly
believe that they are humorless
and snobbish. But among themselves and a few
outsiders they derive as much joy and laughter in life as any group on
Earth.
End of series.
