In case you were wondering about Syrian Jews...

This is a great article that truly gives insight into the little known world of Syrian Jewish culture along Brooklyn's Ocean Parkway.

I found it boring, but perhaps it is because I truly know what the majority are all about, considering that I am (unfortunately) one of "them"...I made it my business to detach as much as possible and live my life the way I saw fit, and not the way that they train their kids to. Perhaps one day someone will write an article that discusses the side that they don't want anyone to know about, such as the ones who act like they are wealthy but are in severe debt secretly, or the men who sleep with other men when the wives are away in Deal for the summer (don't believe me? search the cl M4M section sometimes using the search term SY) or the wives who only married the men for their status. Lots of adultery going on there, my friends. Nothing to be envious about with these people, take my word on this.
