[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For a more balanced view, here is an interview with an Orthodox woman from Borough Park, where she talks about her life, work and family.   In my experience (I am not Orthodox, but have several friends who are), this is more reflective of the community than what various “unorthodox “ movies are portraying.

This  guy is libertarian  right wing.  Feel free to catch his other " balanced" videos,  like the  one on the border. 
Re: video" You'll die faster from  worrying, than  COVID", please read up on how the NY orthodox dealt with COVID. They  didn't.

FWIW, to be balanced,  I've enclosed a link. I am not orthodox,  don't  agree with  most of their religious  and community tenets,  but I did  appreciate this written rebuttal on a number of levels, which surprised even  me.

The Forward  is a Jewish newspaper, usually catering  to the observant.

Oj1 - the forward actually caters to the Jewish involved but non observant, but I happen to really like this article.

I stand  corrected, it just seems to  me that observant  people tend to read it.  My parents only read it in Yiddish, and my understanding is that they published in English,  and also  in Yiddish until  fairly  recently.  But, apparently  it leans somewhat progressive, so  you are correct.   I also liked the rebuttal, and I am not observant  at all. I feel the show is ridiculously poor in showing an accurate portrayal  of both secular life and an Orthodox life. The woman who wrote  this hit the ball home in every way.  [/quote]
