Fox News Profiles Chasidic Jews & Education

This is the first of a three-part series by FOX News on insular enclaves of ultra-Orthodox Jews, the struggles they face and the controversies that follow them.

Part 1: Some Americans may not realize that Hasidic Jews shun many common secular practices widely accepted across cultural and national borders, including the basics of education. For example, there are several yeshivas, or Hasidic Jewish schools, in the New York area that only teach subjects in Yiddish. Previous yeshiva students share the impact of these practices in their lives.
