And so.
So like Williamsburg Orthodox.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
Okay.
And so, I mean, there's nuances, but, you know, lost on people.
Well, I think there's, like, different, like, the garb may look the same, but I think there's, like, different theologies around, within those communities, but subtle.
And so, I grew up primarily in L.A., and when I was younger, I would go back and forth between
that LA Orthodox world and then the ultra-Orthodox world with my dad.
Those were the formative experiences of my childhood, particularly when it came to religion, but my life was religion because I lived in this insular Orthodox community.
Yeah, like, you know, only eat kosher food, which means that like you can only eat in restaurants that are like certified kosher.
I don't think I knew a non-Jewish person until I went to college.
Oh, wow.
Like I, you know, kept strict Shabbat, which means for one day out of the week, no electricity, no money, no phones, no screens, no driving.
So like, you know, borderline Amish, I would say.
I would say it's a little bit more dispersed, but there's a couple neighborhoods where you're like driving through Beverly Hills, you're on Rodeo Drive, you're passing by Prada,
And then you take a left turn onto Pico, and then all of a sudden, all the storefronts are in Hebrew.
All the women are walking around with wigs and long skirts.
So it's got that Williamsburg-esque vibe, but it's a little bit less in your face.
And I would say, and I would say this is probably pretty formative to who I am, is that people are like, oh, my God, you grew up Orthodox.
