Hasidic Jews (orthadox)
What are the rules for being a Haside (orthadox) jew? Can you only wear Black? when do you start wearing a wig, etc...i'm dying to know everything.
And doesn't it seem wierd when they carry/ wear expensive things? Because i feel like they shouldn't want to have materialistic items.
ANything you can tell me would be great!
Thanks!

I know a little, so I will share it with you.
Hasidic jews are orthodox and keep kosher and keep the sabbath. No work from Friday sundown to saturday sundown. The women, once they are married, must keep their heads shaved and wear a wig. They wear black from that day on, also.
They must always defer to their husbands, and when out in public, must walk behind them. The husband/father is the patriarch of the family and he comes before the children and the wife.
Hasidic jews, for years have been involved in the diamond business. they are known as the best diamond cutters in the world. Many of them have stayed in this business and carry on the their family's tradition. But not all. So if they are in the diamond business, you can imagine that they are very wealthy, but it is not ok to flaunt that wealth. They dress and behave in such a manner that does not call attention to themselves or their wealth. But if you are ever invited to the bar mitzfa (sp.?) celebratioin of an hasidic jewish boy, you will see the wealth because they often will spend a fortune on such celebrations.
In Israel, there are sectc calle the ultra orthodox. Well in hearing about them in the news, I don't see much difference between them and the Islamist. These ultra orthodox jews required their women to wear head scarves, they cannot wear pants, they cannot drive. In their neighborhoods in Israel, they have been known to stone women who don't sit on the backs of busses or give up their seats to a man, or not wear head scarves.
And yet these two sects hate each other. Oh well. I guess it is what makes the world go round.
