#1 Lag Ba'omer: What's Toldot Aharon, hassidic sect whose members were killed?

It is perhaps the most insular, well-organized and cohesive of the groups that make up Israel’s haredi (ultra-Orthodox) community; any type of intervention in its domestic affairs is tantamount to a total usurping of the community's belief system.

A similar tribal 'belief system' exists (albeit conveniently not discussed) in Chicago, Atlanta, Baltimore, and elsewhere.

'Mote in thine own eye' theory precludes unilateral condemnation of the Haredi.
