NYC ultra-orthodox Jews give Amish walking tour
Jump to Comments
NEW YORK (AP) - New York City’s ultra-Orthodox Jews are giving the Amish a walking tour of their world. Several dozen Amish residents from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, started the tour earlier Tuesday of Brooklyn’s Crown Heights neighborhood with members of the Hasidic Jewish community. Rabbi Beryl Epstein calls the tour “living Judaism.” The tour began in the basement of a Hasidic library, with Epstein explaining similarities between the two communities, such as their old-fashioned dress. It’s the second year that the community has invited the Amish on a walking tour it offers to the public. woi-tv.com

I’m not sure why we need similarities b/t the amish and yidden. Someone care to explain?
