Slightly off-topic, but how do Persian Jews get along with Satmar in NYC? Aren't the Satmar so fanatical and cultic that they consider all non-Satmar Jews to be goyim?

Well to be quite honest Chaimfan, Great neck is a very long ride away from the hellhole of williamsburg where the satmar cult is housed. Satmar consider all jews who are not satmar to be infidels. They absolutely detest sefardic jews. But to answer the question, I believe their is next to no interaction between the persian jews and the satmar anti semite bastards. Boro Park which is another neighborhood full of Chasidim is very far away from great neck as well. Besides, the satmar males are too busy patronizing prostitutes to bother with Persian Jews.

Thanks for the kind words, Dr. Dan.

DownwithIslam. I grew up in Great Neck, and it's a beautiful place and very Jewish. But there are very few older singles there. In fact, it's extremely rare for any Iranian Jewish woman of my age to be unmarried, and to have no children. So to answer your question, first off, there are mostly families in Great Neck. Secondly, I've never hit it off with any Persian guys.

Also, you will never have any Mashadi guy coming up to a woman in a Synagogue or at a wedding or any party to strike up a conversation. If the men see someone they like, they'll have their parents talk to the girl's parents. Now I realize it's a respectful way of doing things. But on the other hand, I feel like a lab rat when my parents (or anyone else) tries to set me up with one of these guys. My father always says to me "Go out with him at least ten or fifteen times and you'll see that you'll get to like him." Frankly, I would rather not lead them on after one or two dates.

And one more thing about moving to Great Neck...I grew up there, and my childhood memories of the place were not happy ones being that I was so shy. It was only when I started Junior High that I came out of my shell and started to make friends.

i think your dad is right...it takes more than 2 dates for someone to grow on you...you should be giving some of these guys more of a chance.

Persian Jews are similar to Bukharin and Kavkazi Jews?

We are similar except for language and a few traditions. I have heard that the Georgian (kavkazi Jews) are very similar in their upbringing. I have never met a Kavkazi though.

by Kavkazi i meant Jews from Azerbaijan not Georgia

but the language between Bukharin, Kavkazi/mountain, and Persian Jews its Farsi dialect

It is...But kavkazi = Azeri? what do they call the Georgian Jews?

Lisa · « **Reply #60 on:** July 03, 2008, 08:01:08 PM »

From my experience no one in my family has ever even mentioned the Satmars. Once again, most Iranian Jews practice their religion moderately. They're skeptical of anything seemingly "extreme."

Even the good ones like the Lubavitch?

My father is not familiar with the different sects of Chasidic Jews. I'm sure if he met some Lubavitchas and saw that they were good people, he would like them. But for whatever reason, he has not had good experiences with some of them.

Lewinsky Stinks, Dr. Brennan Rocks · « **Reply #66 on:** July 04, 2008, 01:10:32 PM »

What kinds of Lubavitch then is he familiar with?

I'm not convinced it's Anus-T. The style of writing is not the same. Besides which, he's already banned, and I would rather not give him the extra attention. So if you want, why don't you make a humorous but clean poll about him?

All my father knows of is Jews with black hats, black suits, and long sideburns. I don't think he even knows what a Lubavitcha is.

So who do you think this creature was? Do you agree with my original theory that it was a Muslim Nazi, or do you think it is someone from the dog pound?

Paulette had another theory we should have considered earlier. She believes it is a white supremacist (i.e. a Whorefronter). I guess it's a good guess. We have certainly had Whorefront trolls before who knew Hebrew and some Jewish expressions (like Din Rodent). They are so obsessed with Judaism that they devote hours upon hours of study to this religion--all because they want to murder us.

Perhaps the fact that he mentioned white supremacists often in his few posts here was a big hint, hint...

The Persian Jews I know who are have become more religious or more spiritual due to Kabbalah love Chabad...Persian Jews love other Jews who believe in ahavat yisrael. However..those who are not so traditional, respect the Lubovitch, but stay clear at the same time of becoming like them...it all depends.
