The fact that they stay aloof and seperate is not disturbing to me since even hassidic Jews are not aggressive or imperialistic about their beliefs. I am more concerned about how they feel about the laws in this country and participating with respect to our political system, the constitution and especially citizenship. There is no subversion coming from the Jewish community. Israel has more to worry about us then we do them.
Are these communities all naturalized citizens or what? Are there any "permenant resident aliens" among them? How about anchor babies? What are their language skills like? They may post in Hebrew, but if they can speak fluent English, who cares?
