Only on occasion do they deign to pray with us.<\/p>\n<p>But now I&#8217;m hooked up to Hasidim who are willing to come spend Shabbos with me, to eat at my table and to pray at my shul, just so they can do a little fundraising motzi shabbos.<\/p>\n<p>How my heart swells to see these cute black men with their big hats tuck their payas (sidelocks) behind their ears and embrace me at my egalitarian shul.<\/p>\n<p>How we give them aliyot! We&#8217;re so proud.<\/p>\n<p>Such songs they sing!
