Mashallah, a wonderful suggestion, everyone who works in a facility who has built a space for Muslims to pray should do this ia

I agree. I never thought of this until sidi Fusus mentioned it.

The thing about Jews is, like Fusus said, there are so many different "factions", you can't really lump them all together. Although Hasidim are generally the way we have described, I have met a few who are quite friendly. Orthodox Jews (that's a broad title, but I'm talking very generally), I've met two types. Either they're very nice, friendly to others, not isolated, and not racist. Or, they're the racist super-zionist stick-to-themselves types. Usually Jews who are only a few generations out of eastern Europe/ former USSR or Israel are the latter kind. The Americanized ones are generally nicer to others.

But yes, at least they take their religion/culture seriously. Very serious about eating kosher food, not interacting with the opposite gender, etc. I worked with a Jewish guy once who used to wear the cap. Really nice guy. He had an arranged marriage in college, and has a couple of baby girls now, I think. He was working before applying to medical school while his wife went to law school. Once she graduats, he plans to go to med school and she'll support the family for a couple of years. Jews really help each other out.
