over the years, Otisville has slowly become the place for Hacidic's / safardic or orthodox Jews. It's close to Brooklyn, so visits are easy. And after Solomon Dwek got done with his ratting, Jews overflowed into Otisville. It's great because every Friday & Saturday is Shabbas and we all got to eat fresh bread and foods brought up from Brooklyn.
