Extremely exhausting; Orthodox Jews they keep trying to drag to synagogues all the secular Jews, indecently dressed women they keep yelling at for not dressing decently, and any gentiles in Israel, they tell them to either convert or leave. Like I said, because Orthodox Jews do that every day, at the end of the day they're just tired you know, exhausted. Alright in seriousness, cynicism aside; as in all places of the world in which they live, Orthodox Jewry is a fanatically tightly knit community that does not allow outsiders in, they regard with suspicion, and paranoia, even other Jews, regardless of background. You can be as Jewish as a freakin' Torah scroll, and they'll be suspicious of you; when it comes to prejudice issues, most complaints in Israel are often filed against Orthodox Jews. I almost feel sorry for them; I don't think Orthodox Jews have any friends, not even among other Jews. I know for sure that in Israel, no one likes them; not Arabs, not other Jews, its kinda sad actually. I mean, even Puerto Ricans in New York have white and black friends, even Mexicans in Los Angeles, same thing, Orthodox Jews though, ask any of them to name friends outside their community and see what answer you get.
