I take it you don't know what Hasidic means? Basically fundamentalist Jews who believe as the chosen people they need to not just hold the most ultra orthodoxed interpretations of scripture but also breed constantly until they drop with kids spaced every 9 months apart with the more the better. Don't worry about much of anything else as god will supposedly provide for all the children they spawn (normally in the form of welfare both in the US and in Israel) plus they're religious fundamentalism results and many of them being extremely unpleasant (to the point of violence and murder) to anyone who holds difference views. In short they're religious extremists with all the down sides of such a label.

Sounds like the flip side of Appalachia. Sad that people bring their kids into this poverty, at RECORD numbers.
Most of the Appalachain poor ARE working poor, nd yeah, they have "caught onto welfare by now" - my, in the21rst century don't ideas ftravel quickly, but they do not livelike kings and queens. Several hundred thousand hav moved from the poorest regions in search of work, and there are many left who don't have the means to move - that can be pretty expensive. And then, there are a great many who milk the system.
6+ kids per family, no college education, some people choosing not to work, and can't work at a lot of companies because they have to leave early on Friday and take weird holidays = dirt, dirt poor.
Otoh they don't have almost any of the criminal or social problems that usually come with poor areas. Shows that acting with human decency and care for the larger community don't neccesarily have to walk hand-in-hand with having money or resources.
If they took a vow of poverty, that is their own business, not ours.
