They&#8217;re not like the old Jews who saw education as the way to the top. Their family is the way to the top. When they get into Harvard, their mothers cry for weeks because it means that they have to leave home. There&#8217;s a weird sexual double standard. The mothers tell their daughter, &#8216;Honey, can&#8217;t you wear your skirts a little shorter&#8217; to attract a man, but if they have sex, they&#8217;re dead. It&#8217;s a fine line. They&#8217;re doomed, like the Shakers, to die out. It&#8217;s untenable. A lot of them become Orthodox Jews.
