[quote=Anonymous]I grew up modern orthodox (not extremely orthodox like the six kid family you’re talking about).

First of all, it varies by family. A lot of these larger families are not as together as they seem and I’ve seen a LOT who should not have anywhere near six kids.

I’m one of four. I have ambitious, loving parents. We grew up well off thanks to my fathers lucrative career and to be honest I think the main variables in my childhood were a loving home/parents, money, a good education, and Jewish values, which are very community, family and socially oriented. Jewish people in general place a big emphasis on succeeding academically and professionally (the ultra orthodox actually do not generally, though).

IMO there are a lot of negative things about being very observant in any religion, including Judaism. But the nice thing about Orthodox Judaism is the sabbath and all the holidays where you cannot drive or use electronics. It is a completely screen free zone where families and friends are spending time together, kids are playing, people are reading, walking, enjoying the outdoors.[/quote]
