It was a frightful position, but the Chassidim stayed.

“Give me it for free,” a group of young boys yells in Yiddish, giggling merrily, as their tzitzit strings dangle. The man standing in the ice cream truck grins down at them. “No, give me money,” he replies. The negotiation continues until an older sibling finally comes over with a wrinkled fistful of dollar bills.
