I don\’t know where I got the idea or who put it in my head originally, but during my whole childhood the idea was clear: Orthodox Jews were \”weird.\” Really weird. Of course as a kid my definition of \”weird\” ran closer to anyone who was the slightest bit different from me rather than someone you would actually see in a circus freak show. Still, while most things as a kid were not clear, save for baseball, one thing was: stay away from the Orthodox Jews. Which made sense.
