fervently religious Hasidic community, where Yiddish is the dominant language, schools focus on teaching Jewish law and prayer, while often providing little secular education in English. The Times found that at 25 of the city’s approximately 160 Hasidic yeshivas, more than half of the students are classified as needing special education. Records show the classifications are routinely justified by citing the students’ struggles with English.

I'm so pleased that Julia isn't giving into the emotional blackmail of her youngest son. No child—no child—should learn in hyper-Orthodox before graduating from high school.

I don't watch reality shows. Ever.
But Julia's story and the Julia/Aron interaction make this one different. It's overproduced and focuses too much on irrelevant stories and tired tropes, but I am fascinated by it.

If so, then why did so many try to calculate the of slavery? Why didn't they just say "The warning no longer applied after ~200 years"
