What do ultra orthodox Jews do for work?
Ultra-Orthodox is not the preferred term, but I know a Hassidic Jews who is a semiconductor engineer, another who works in a meatpacking plant, a jeweler, and a deli owner. Many Hassidic Jewish men are rabbis, but there are not that many jobs for Hassidic rabbis, so they have day jobs doing other things. The man in the meatpacking plant does kosher slaughter. Another job is mashgiach -- that is, kosher supervisor. A Hassidic friend of mine travels around the upper midwest inspecting food-processing plants to verify that their product can legally be marked as kosher. He certifies things as varied as breakfast cereal and whiskey. (Why not ultra-Orthodox? Because observant Modern Orthodox Jews are no less Orthodox and because the things that make Hassidic Jews distinctive are not their degree of orthodoxy but rather, their distinctive social norms that set them apart from the larger community.)

Why are there so many Jewish Orthodox sects?
There is only one Jewish Orthodox Sect; there are many Orthodox movements. The difference is that sects generally hold that the other sect's beliefs are invalid, whereas movements hold that the differences are stylistic and therefore cultural, not heretical. The reasons for the differentiation in Orthodox movements is similar to the reason that there are a variety of Protestant movements. Without a unifying figure, different cultural traditions became the source of independent cultural norms. These norms are called Minhagim in the Orthodox context. Additionally, because of the politics involved in having a Jewish State, Orthodox communities have divided into movements according to their belief of how best to negotiate the issue of a Jewish State.

Do children of ultra-orthodox Jews become ultra-orthodox too?
Of course, Hassidic Jews emphasize the fact that they raise their children as Hassidic Jews, but in reality, there is significant intergenerational flow, with some children of Hassidic Jews departing for other streams of Judaism, and with some children of Liberal Jews joining more Orthodox streams. This seems typically human. There is a similar intergenerational flow between Christian denominations.

Most of those sects believe that the other sects are all valid interpretations of Dharma, though there are some who think theirs is the only way.

Why are some Jews against Israel and Zionism?
The Jewish tradition holds that, in the end of days, the Messiah will restore Jewish sovereignty in Jerusalem and the traditional Land of Israel, restoring worship to the Temple Mount and rebuilding the Temple, Judging all the earth. Starting with the disappointment caused by a series of failed claimants to the title of Messiah 2000 years ago (Simon Bar Kochba's revolt that was crushed in the year 135 was the last straw), the rabbinic tradition downplayed the messianic elements of Judaism, but in the Hassidic world, these elements have become central. As a result, many (not all) Hassidic Jews hold that re-establishing Jewish dominion in Israel before the Messiah comes verges on being an improper usurpation of the role of the Messiah.On the other side of this are Orthodox Jews in the settler movement hold that establishing Jewish dominion can help bring the Messiah.
