Put your money where your jealous Gentile mouth is!! Provide me with proof that the average Hasidic family earns $15K per year. Jews (as a whole) are still the wealthiest ethnic group in America. Yet, they comprise a measly 2% of the American population. Yes, there are some poor Hasidic families in NYC. Just as there are poor Gentile (non-Jewish) families in NYC. However, there are just as many wealthy Hasidim who own businesses in the most expensive city in the world. That being NYC (with Bklyn & Manhattan as its epicenter for Jews). Are large, poor families only indigenous to Orthodox Jews? Why aren't you kvetching over New Yuericans, who breed like rug rats? IOW, when you focus solely on one group of people, it then becomes suspect. -D, NYC "The Jews of New York City today make up the largest, richest, most creative Jewish community in the world. Yet little more than a hundred years ago, most of them were desperately poor, living in teeming immigrant neighborhoods. How these Jews - through struggle, education, and determination -transformed themselves and their city is a great American success story. Jewish New Yorkers powered major city businesses such as the garment and media industries, reinvented Broadway theatre, and helped invent the modern labor movement. They also won Nobel Prizes and introduced the United States to such delights as pastrami, Egg Creams, and an intimitable form of Jewish comedy" - GREATEST JEWISH CITY IN THE WORLD, excerpt from JEWISH NY: NOTABLE NEIGHBORHOODS & MEMORABLE MOMENTS BY IRA WOLFMAN
