Interesting-ish data. I'd say there looks like big flaws in the choice to agglomerate sects as if they're the same. But it's accurate enough for the conclusions in this article.

"The authors surveyed 1,307 #Orthodox #Jewish adults, 95% of whom reside in the U.S. They grouped respondents into three categories: Modern Orthodox; #Haredi — including both #Hasidic and #Yeshivish #Jews who belong to a sect or follow a particular rabbi — and the New York-based Hasidic #Satmar sect, whose adherents believe that no #Jewish state may be established until the Messiah comes."

The Forward · New survey of Orthodox Jews shows vast differences in attitudes toward Zionism"Has your approach to Zionism changed since October 7?" surveyers asked more than 1,000 Orthodox Jews in the U.S.

"It took Howard Langer two years from his first serious attempt at #writing — 60 pages longhand in pencil — to complete what would become “The Last Dekrepitzer.” It took almost two more years for the 74-year-old to find an agent and #publisher.

“I was 70 and I wanted to #write my whole life, and so I said to myself, ‘You know, if you don’t start now it’s not going to happen.’ So I sat down the next morning and began,” said Langer, a Philadelphia attorney who also teaches at the University of Pennsylvania’s Carey Law School.

Langer’s debut #novel about a fiddling #Hasidic #rabbi won the 2024 National #Jewish #Book Award and was shortlisted for The Athenaeum of Philadelphia’s 2024 #Literary Award.

“I was stunned when I received the call telling me of the award,” Langer said."

B&H Photo Video closes at ONE on Fridays, not at THREE as I keep thinking. Got there at 1:30 and boy was I sad. Walked to 36th & 5th, to "42nd Street Photo" on 36th Street, natch, where I paid more than twice for B&W 120 roll film. Boy are my dogs tired (I live 46th/ 10th).

Was googling the New York Jewish musician Matus Lichtenstein (c.1865–1940) whose name came up in my research and I found this 1928 recording I'd never heard before by his Matus Lichtenstein's Kunst Orkester. Interesting. Sort of #klezmer, sort of #Hasidic #nigunim played in a mainstream orchestral style.

«A group of #Hasidic #Jewish worshippers were arrested amid a dispute over a tunnel secretly dug into the side of a historic #Brooklyn #synagogue, setting off a brawl between police and those who tried to defend the makeshift passageway.

The discovery of the tunnel at the #ChabadLubavitch world headquarters in #CrownHeights prompted an emergency structural inspection from the city Tuesday.»
