There’s something very interesting about the Hasidic community in Linden, NJ no other Hasidic community brings

I know it’s random but I do want to share something I didnt expect would be the case.

Hasidim are known for their significant isolation (except Chabad and Breslov) from the world around them, even at times among other fellow Haredi and Orthodox. Satmars and Skverers are a great example of this.

But in this scenario, they actually get along with the Modern Orthodox community that lives there. For those who don’t know, Linden in NJ has a numerous amount of Modern Orthodox living there with their community in the city, and to see the differences between Orthodox views being set aside for a common goal is a very beautiful thing to see.

A dynamic so unusually yet it works is something everyone should see.

This is even more shocking concerning Hasidic majority areas will be usually insular (with the exception of Crown Heights in Brooklyn). I think the majority that live here are Kosons and Bobovers. Maybe the groups’ hashkafas are not as insular as thought.

They surprisingly give updates about their community the Hasids on their X page (even though they are not entirely known to use it in widescale).
