The Haredim

Khairun Nisa of the Wisdom of the Muslim World blog relates the story of the Jewish Haredim, a very orthodox group within the Jewish faith. An interesting look at a community that is really not that different from our own.

Mrs Greenwald, 34, lives in Har Nof, an ultra-orthodox neighbourhood of Jerusalem where absolutely everything is closed on Saturday – the Sabbath – and only kosher food is sold in shops

Like all Haredi women, she dresses very modestly, covers her hair with a wig or scarf and will not allow physical contact of any kind with any man other than her husband.
