Emmie, //arn't they similar in their views on their religion//
Sorry, I meant to answer this earlier but was waylaid. Yes, they are similar but ultra-Orthodox Jews make no exceptions to Jewish law. For example they won’t work on the Sabbath, and in saying they won’t work, I mean they do absolutely nothing - not even flicking a light switch - and if you’re unfortunate enough to check into a hotel in Israel staffed by those who obey the rules rigidly, you can look forward to a cold unappetising breakfast on the Sabbath that was laid out the day before - and an uncleaned room, an unmade bed and no fresh towels until Sabbath is over. Additionally, ultra-Orthodox men won’t speak to unrelated women. Fly El Al and you will see their children asking female cabin crew for whatever their fathers want. There is one area of Jerusalem in particular where if you walk holding hands with your partner you’re likely to find stones flying in your direction in disapproval of your immodesty. It’s a strange place, inhabited by a mixture of cultures of often alien people, few of whom have time for those outside their own.
