That's what I was thinking too... certainly nothing to say it was NCW OVER UC.

I can see the Rabbi's point (and, no, I am not Jewish...): in an "ideal world", a sense of community is fantastic. But there will always be segregation to some extent: many jewish people like to remain within their own community for the most part.

Think it is about having the choice of which community that you mix with and privacy if you want it. Given a choice of my own little pod in NCW/UC and packed in a full Y cabin (maybe - but not always! - with a horde or drunk chavs), know where I would be...

As a child I knew everyone in the Close that I lived in, the same really cannot be said now - it is a bit of a shame.
