4/28 Covid-19 Update: Who can stop us from celebrating?

I started watching Orthodox (highly recommend!) on Netflix, about a young girl living in modern Brooklyn as part of a Hasidic Jew community who flees her life and escapes to Berlin (I promise I'm not giving anything away - you know all that at the beginning of the show). Only the trashiest of reality TV has been able to keep my attention during quarantine, and usually not for very long, so I was surprised to find myself so captivated by this show. I'm sure part of the interest for me is that I used to live in the midst of a large Hasidic Jew community during the brief time in I was in Greenpoint in NYC, and I lacked the intellectual curiosity then to wonder about their lives. I was surprised by their outfits (having never seen a Hasidic Jew before) and yiddish sounded strange to me walking down the street, but I didn't notice or wonder about their culture beyond that.
