Marcelo, I think you meant Hassidic Jews rather than Orthodox Jews. I did wonder about this too, so I asked a cheeky Orthodox friend about this and got a suitably cheeky reply: 'Well, they have to do everything differently. If everyone does it one way, they will do it the other way. They just want to be different.' I might try asking a Hassidim next time...marcelo wrote:Well, further research shows that Orthodox Jews adopt the opposite rule.
