Zamieściłem kiedyś watek o tym jak przybycie ortodoksyjnych Żydów do małego amerykańskiego miasteczka zmieniło w zasadniczy sposób opinię jego mieszkańców o braciach starszych w wierze.www.racjonalista.pl/forum.php/s,724112.
Tekst który polecam jest sui generis komplementarny względem niego. Traktuje bowiem o laickim Żydzie, który początkowo zafascynowany możliwością mieszkania wśród ortodoksów ( postaw aprobująca multi kulti) z biegiem czasu zmienił zdanie i przyłapał się na tym, że powtarza...antysemickie kalki nazistów.
Lektura jest dla koneserów lubujących się w mozolnym dochodzeniu do prawdziwej istoty rzeczy.

"But having lived among the Hasidim for more than a decade, I no longer hear those heavenly whispers as much. Instead, I smell garbage. The Hasidim generate more household waste than seems humanly possible: sitting on my front porch over the years, I've often been surrounded twice a week by dozens of garbage bags. My area is made up of duplexes, properties containing two separate units stacked vertically. Almost all of them house Hasids. Because it is their divine mission to procreate, that means roughly forty kids-"soldiers for God," as they are sometimes thought of-on twenty feet of sidewalk. During past summers, the garbage did what garbage does in the blazing heat, which left the sidewalk unusable until the trucks arrived, after which a puddle of sweat remained for another day. The stench suffused time and space.

Occasionally, I worried whether all this Hasidic waste would attract rats-a thought that, in turn, caused me to wonder whether I was unconsciously repeating an ancient meme of European anti-Semitism. The Nazis eagerly emphasized the supposed link between Jews and vermin. Had I become a "self-hating Jew"? Not necessarily: my neighbour later told me that a family of rodents had moved in under my stoop."
