My friends and I are not Orthodox Jews, and we have been on the receiving end of some harsh, unkind, and occasionally scary rhetoric from #Haredim. Yet not only do we not respond in kind, we try to respond with educated subtlety - and many of us even study books from or with Haredi and #HasidicJews. I've been reading Chassidus, for example

"Reclaiming Sacred Sparks: Linguistic Syncretism and Gendered Language Shift among Hasidic Jews in New York" - Ayala Fader
