Orthodox Jewish work


I´ve watched in some movies that the orthodox jewish aparently don´t work.
They only study all the time the torah.

My questions is: Who pay for their houses, their meals and mantein their families ?

In some cases, the wife has the job while the man just studies Torah. In some cases, the men work. In this movie I think its clear the women Arent working so we can assume the man has a job.

Are all this men rabbis ?

I´m sorry about this questions, here there are a lot of Jewish but only a few orthodox Jew.

doesn't look like it IMO. Nothing specific tells me "yes or no", but I think a if they were rabbi's there would be something more specific, or at least something mentioned (like, "I'm going to the Synagogue" at some point, or a small scene there, or similar)...

I´m sorry, I don´t speak about this movie, I speak in general if the orthodox Jews are rabbi.

Ah entiendo. No te preocupes, te explico: no, un judio ortodoxo no es necesariamente "rabino". El ortodoxo simplemente sigue la linea mas conservadora de la religión (hay muchos ramos dentro del judaismo: liberal, conservador, ortodoxo, ultra-ortodox, y más) Rabino es el que ejerce como "maestro" de la religión, o sea, como líder o guía espiritual para un grupo o congregación. Normalmente, en la sinagoga.

OK, muchas gracias.

Probablemente la confusión viene de cierto tipo de vestimenta o de la apariencia en general de los rabinos.

Pero me quedó claro.

Muchas gracias....!

English translation:

Ah, I understand. Don't worry, I'll explain: no, an orthodox Jew is not necessarily a rabbi. The orthodox simply follows the religion's most conservative path. (There are many tendencies in Judaism: liberal, conservative, orthodox, ultra-orthodox and more.) The rabbi is the one who acts as the "master" of the religion, that is, as the spiritual leader or guide of a group or congregation, usually in the synagogue.

Exactly.
