[RBS] Yes, they are Haredim

[Reuven (bob) Eliaz]

A timely and powerful blog on Beit Shemesh from the Lincoln Square Synagogue in NYC. 

Excerpt: "These people are fanatics, they are extremists, criminals - call them what you like - but they are a product of Orthodox Judaism and we have to take ownership of the problem. As well as the fact that parts of the Orthodox world are spinning out of control - growing more extreme, more insane, day by day."
