[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in a neighborhood with many Orthodox Jews, but none of them every waves or says hi when they walk by my house and I am out in the yard, even if I say hi.  Have you heard of this?  The only time 2 of my orthodox neighbors have talked to me is 1) to ask if the bicycle we were giving away was really available (it was) and 2) a teenager who saw the bumper sticker on my car for a local Jewish school and asked if I worked there... the sticker came with the used car.  In my dozen years living here and shopping at the same grocery store I feel as if I am invisible around the Orthodox Jews.  I know you can't speak for my neighbors, but is this usual in the Orthodox community?

I certainly makes me want to avoid moving to an area with even more Orthodox Jews.  [/quote]

This is unfortunately more common than id like to admit. We also live in an orthodox community and introduced ourselves to all the neigh bors when we moved in. Many of our orthodox neighbors had been living there for years and didnt know them. I think its really sad and its not how i was raised but it can be a very insular community.[/quote]
