Two Rabbis From Brooklyn Walk Down A Street In North Idaho

Ok,while that sounds like the start of a joke(two men walk into a bar..)it isn't,honest!:)
There was a front page story in The Spokesman Review today about a couple of 23 year old Jewish Rabbis from Brooklyn who are part of the
Chabad movement in Hassidic Judaism.
What they do is they visit Jews throughout northern Idaho and help them to
learn more about Judaism and how to be better Jews.
It's kinda of outreach program to unsynagogued Jews.Actually pretty interesting,especially when you realize that one single neighborhood in the e borough of Brooklyn in New York City has more Jews than the entire State of Idaho.
Though I bet they get some odd looks as Orthodox Jews aren't that common in these parts.

XD Hassidics... ack... they're even beyond Orthodox Judaism, what with the long sideburns and beards and all that. Some Hassidics even have separate kitchens so they never mix meat and milk (un-kosher... no cheeseburgers) and such. Kinda like a Jewish evangelism I guess. I know a lot of Messianic Jews do the same out in NY. Still, I pity the ones the Hassidics get to... better not have any bacon lying around. >.>;; Huh. Well then... uh... Maltztov!

Sounds interesting! I don't suppose you have a link to the online version of the story?

And 23 sounds too young to be a rabbi!

Well I could look up to see if I could find the online version of the
Spokesman Review.It was from last week so I suppose it be in the
archive section now.
As far as the age goes,well that is what was given in the story.
And no,they weren't interested in making converts to Judaism their whole thing is to help Jews get to know their religious heritage.
