[quote=Anonymous]PPs are right about the origin of this community. It has grown because (a) Orthodox Jews have a lot of kids; (b) some NYC people have relocated for the cost of living; and (c) it seems like nobody leaves the community. I left it- religious zealotry and mindless adherence to ritual requirements, when combined with Baltimore's small - town mentality, were suffocating. So I got out. I have cousins in arranged marriages- one to a 19-year-old he met twice before the wedding. That people romanticize this cult amazes me. [/quote]
