That works, though those 3 things are probably not practiced by 95% of those who consider themselves Orthodox.
When I see you with a big fury hat with a raincoat on it I will update your picture.  ;)

Come to my shul tonight :)
Just rabbit fur though, not too fluffy.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

  • Location: As always, silence is NOT an admission of agreement on DDF. It just means that people lack the stamina to keep on arguing with made up "facts", illogical arguments, deceiving statements, nasty and degrading comments, and fuzzy math. - @yelped

Thats a tough one.

So in other words, would it be fair to say
Chassidim (and to some extent, black hatters)

and it's more based on a visual than someone else's label?

Am I the only one here suspecting that's a plot by Russian descendants colluding to overturn our democracy?

Congratulations on finding one of the few pairs of unrelated Lubavitchers who aren't Russian

I have met Dan and aygart so it is more than just appearance. I think it is best I bow out before I unintentionally offend someone.
