He would have to do something reeaallllllyyyyyy bad. There was a case in Monsey where a butcher had been selling non-kosher meat for years and passed it off as kosher. When they caught him, I believe he was shunned from there on out.

Was the butcher a Orthodox Jew?

Yes, Monsey is a city full of Haridim.

So you are telling me a Orthodox Jewish butcher was passing off non kosher meat as kosher. Gee, that's kind of low.

For an orthodox Jew do you find yourself to be unorthodox?

He was also passing himself off as orthodox, if you know what I mean.

These questions are tough for me to answer because I don't think there's one way to be an orthodox Jew. There are so many different opinions, traditions, and cultures - even just within the orthodox movement - which is why it makes this type of question difficult to answer. I may be a bit unorthodox according to my surroundings, but be extremely orthodox (whatever that means) according to others.

Do you have the strange dread locks on either side of your head?

I do not. But I don't use razor blades on my side burns. That's where the original prohibition that lead to those "Pe'ot"(strange dread locks) came from.

I'm pretty sure I'd be able to pull that off.Here is a style I like. Only kidding, hope you have a sense of humor.

So you belong to a sect of Jews that originates from Morocco. I guess at some point in time some must have migrated to Canada. I’m also guessing there a community of your sect in Canada. How large or small? How separated are you from the non-Orthodox? The Amish use the term “English” or “Outsider” for the non-Amish. Does the Orthodox have an equivalent term?

Before I came on this site, I had never really differentiated between orthodox, conservative, or reform Jews. To me, we were all Jews. Some practiced a more traditional version of Judaism, whereas some practiced a less traditional version of Judaism. I'm not separated from those that practice a less traditional version of Judaism, we mostly live in majority Jewish neighborhoods.
Here in Montreal, I believe there are 100 000 Jews. Around 20% of those are Sephardic (Moroccan, Spanish, Algerian, Lebanese, Egyptian, etc...). I couldn't tell you how many of those are Moroccan, but we're all very alike.

Depends on who I'm standing next to. Next to you, I'd be a 1. Next to @Revoltingest, I'd be a 329.
