It’s interesting that a extremely disproportionate number of Orthodox Jews sell on Amazon. The mesh (as opposed to clash) of religion and modern technology and culture makes the article meaningful.


This type of article panders to a couple audiences:

- 'Gee, those super religious Jews who I though are technologically deficient.. well they are really quite capable and successful selling on Amazon'

- 'Those Jews are making a lot of money selling on Amazon'

I have issues with both of those responses


So you assume only bigoted responses to anything that mentions religion, meaning you have issues with any mention of religion at all. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


There seem to be quite a few people on this forum that both find this article interesting, and don't fall into the enumerated thought buckets.

I, a Jew, don't think either of those things and do think this article is interesting and has merit.
