I sympathize with the Hasids' efforts to maintain a different set of norms within their community, but that only goes so far. These sorts of values need to be flexible, or else you cant afford to live somewhere so pluralistic. In New York, non-compliance with your norms (and, yes, even some mockery of them) is pretty much a given.

Is it a good thing? Probably not, but it's an inevitable thing. Just as with 'draw Mohammed day', the more over-reaching your defense of your norms is, the more people are gonna push your buttons.
