[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Julia is not from a Hasidic community and did not attend Hasidic schools. Not all Othodox or ultra-Orthodox Jews are Hasidic. For example, Lakewood NJ has a huge non-Hasidic ultra-Orthodox community. There is a Hasidic presence there too, but a relatively much smaller one.  [/quote]

No one said she was Hasidic [/quote]
No one on the show said that. But in this thread at least one or two people seem to think so. [/quote]

Sorry, I mentioned that. As an outsider looking in, I am not nuanced enough to understand the differences between Hasidic and ultra-Orthodox or how it makes a difference in terms of Julia's lived experience. My perception is the role and expectations of women seem to be similar in both communities.[/quote]

The community she describes (Hasidic) and the lifestyle she descibes on the show (and the one many of the people on this thread are describing) is much more insular than the one she lives.  In the communities she lived in, many women are professionals, women are educated, get professional degrees, work out of the house, etc. [/quote]
