[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My neighborhood has a small orthodox synagogue and therefor, a decent orthodox community. No one from the orthodox community participates in our civic association, attends neighborhood events or engages with the rest of the neighborhood. I've also noticed that most of the orthodox residents don't maintain their homes. Many houses have peeling paint, shutters falling off, overgrown shrubs and dead trees. Many of the houses look like they are falling apart and the age of the residents doesn't seem to matter. I have noticed this in other orthodox areas as well, though not all. Why is this so common?

Perhaps they are more involved in other organizations, such as the synagogues or schools.  They might not have the money to maintain their homes or just not care. Where I grew up, the mayor was orthodox, as well as a number of councilmen. It just depends on the neighborhood. Its not reflective of all orthodox jews, just the ones in your neighborhood. [/quote]
