‘​Society disliked the Jewish communities' seclusion, whilst simultaneously fearing their assimilation. The woman in this piece is able to see their hypocrisy and understands that no matter what, people will find a reason to be prejudiced towards her. How much she chooses to assimilate into the New World is in her hands and she refuses to allow others to dictate her actions. She also knows that being a Jew is so much more than dressing in frum clothes. Trading a tichel for a hat in no way delegitimizes her Jewish identity.’
