Re: “aprikoras”

(1) The haredi in old city Jerusalem consider the haredi down the street heretics (and vice versa)

(2) and they consider the Tel Aviv haredi heretics, who think the USA Jews are all heretics

(3) and they all consider the Reform and Conservative heretics,

Etc.

So it’s a small charge these days.

The Karaite Jews are odd (no candle lighting before Shabbos, etc), but they are religously serious Jews, with good intent, and have all pretty much made the aliyah.

This goes a very long way in my book, even when I disagree with them.

Um.... yes. :)
