In 1990, Rabbi Marc Schneier held services in a private home in the Hamptons. (Like an underground cult! So sexy!) "Today, on Shabbat, we have between six and seven hundred people," he tells the Forward. But you know what the problem is with Jews in the Hamptons? Not Jewy enough! Gripes the Forward:"The event had more in common with a garden party than it did with a Lubavitcher farbrengen. No effort was made to keep men and women separate, and the dress code veered more toward Hamptons Chic than toward Crown Heights Modest." Go figure. Sure Hamptons-goers can keep from planting, plowing and reaping—but do you really think they'll be able to stop themselves from salting meat on the Sabbath? Or, you know, driving a Mercedes while screaming into the phone.
