Sugarman is a fount of first hand info on the mob however.
Myron is the man. Super nice guy as well.

I loved this line: Jews are generally excessive smokers, they smoke in front of their children and are not afraid to develop any disease because of smoking, especially Chassidic Jews. There are rare cases of Jews who have died because of smoking or diseases caused by it, perhaps something related to the genetic code and body formation and mainly, of the airways.

Of course, I only converted for the jokes, so what do I know.
Yes, highly educated people who are known for longevity are generally heavy smokers. Myron's contribution to the Jersey book is awesome.

Guys I'm bringing this very interesting article that I found in Portuguese on the internet, about Kosher Nostra these days.

Note 1: This article is not mine, I just translated it.

Note 2: I am not fluent in English, i'm from Brazil, so I used google translator and corrected some things manually, if someone sees some translation error or the words in Hebrew for example, let me know so I can fix it.

Note 3: At the end I will post a youtube video of Myron Sugerman talking about the Jewish Mafia in the 1930s, I found it very interesting as well.



Kosher Nostra in modern days


Kosher Nostra was a series of organizations structured in similarity to the Cosa Nostra operating in the United States, reaching under the wing of the last in 1934 to 1980, exactly 46 years. On the west coast of the United States, the Italian-American organized crime of the Bonanno "family" and the Lucchese family stood out in the admission of Jews of all kinds into the friendship cycle, such as Chris Rosenberg and the Russian mafia boss in Brighton Beach, Marat Balagula. This guide is intended to refer to what Kosher Nostra came to be after the 1980s and the great Jewish immigration of 1970 and 1987.
This guide is meant to get you to know what happened and how Kosher Nostra works these days, plus the basics for the interpretation of a character of Jewish origin, whatever it may be.

Origins

Since the end of World War I, nationalist parties in Germany, Austria, Bulgaria and the rest of the Ottoman Empire have come to condemn the Jews and place them as guilty of the end of the Great War and the fall of the central powers, In 1919, more than 60,000 Jews from Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa left their countries and immigrated to Argentina, Brazil, Canada and the United States, the latter of which stood out in French colonies thanks to the Dreyfus Affair. for having surpassed the number of Protestant Christians and other majorities in smaller cities like Williamsburg. Even in the United States, Jews were deprived of certain rights at that time, such as not working on the Sabbath, so they were targets of anti-Semitic propaganda and of the government itself, who arrested them for idleness on holy days, the greatest example of these is Meyer Lansky, who was arrested after leaving a synagogue in 1939. Precisely because of the lack of opportunities in non-Jewish business, young people joined gangs affiliated with organized crime of the time, all thanks to racism.

The great pioneer of Kosher Nostra was the Belarusian Meyer Sushovlansky, who commanded with the help of Charles Luciano, a gigantic connection organization between Havana, Las Vegas, New York, New Jersey and Miami. Thanks to Meyer Lansky, the term Kosher Nostra was first used in 1956 by the FBI. Later Kosher Nostra ceased to be used only to refer to Jewish organizations that had a connection with Cosa Nostra, and also applied to Russian mobsters of Vory v Zakone with Jewish ancestry such as Yevsey Agron, Leonid Fainberg, Semyon Mogilevich , Boris Nayfeld, Rachmiel Brandvayn, Boris Dekanidze and Marat Balagula.

The word "Kosher" (meaning "proper" in Hebrew and Yiddish - kasher / cojér in the Spanish sefarad) is a method of approving foods and products that obey the laws of the Torah (Hallakha), being also derived from the word in kashruth, New York families who had a close friendship with Jewish criminals nicknamed them Kosher Nostra simply because of the approximation between Italian-American and Jewish organized crime in the 1940s through the 1970s. Among the 614 Torah commandments, Hallakha says that sick animals, animals that were killed in pain, killed, animals that contain hulls (except sheep and cattle), fish without scales, animals that were killed by a non-Jew, animals that were killed with the same equipment used to kill an impure animal, puppies, medium or low hygiene foods and seafood are strictly forbidden from being used as food for anyone.

Modernization

After years of being commanded by Russian and Italian non-Jewish criminals, Kosher Nostra lost 99.9% of the power it had between the 1940s and the 1970s, even disappearing almost completely from the map, except for some factions of crime organized in Brighton Beach during the waves of Soviet immigration between the 90s and the 80s. Starting in 1984, certain ultra-orthodox Jewish criminals gained attention from the federal units.

“Chassidic Jews arrested for involvement in organized crime.”

Chassidic Jews have little choice of life, are either rich enough or poor enough to be compared to the lower class of the United States. Imported knick-knacks made of hard-to-catch animals, long, thick black-skinned garments, and black social shoes are extremely expensive, and this is how a Chassidic haredim dresses, following the dress code of the 19th century, not to mention the restriction and specification of food imported and made with extreme care, holiday spending and so on. The full dress of a Chassidic Jew can be as high as $ 30,000, depending on the quality and the way it was made. Many Chassidic Jews are forced to join organized crime, a great example is the sale of cocaine and methamphetamine, but mainly in the sale of small arms such as pistols and revolvers, so is the actual Kosher Nostra, by Chassidic Jews who do not walk around the streets wearing tracksuits, hair gel and extremely expensive suits, Jews are known in the United States for not carrying any money with them, not even when they go shopping in bakeries and kosher markets. There are still lovers of the ancient Kosher Nostra, mainly Russian Jews who do not practice religion very well, becoming extremely violent, unlike Chassidic Jews.

Chassidism

Different than many people think, Chassidic Judaism has a wide variety of culture, basically clans, they act in ways independent of each other, even joining one another to form a new clan. These clans are popularly known as "Chasidut dynasties", most of them following a specific Grand Rabbi, who passes his office hereditarily or for his sons-in-law (men who married his daughters). The Chassidim dynasties have the name of their city of origin translated into Yiddish, as the Breslev dynasty, which originated in Breslov in Ukraine.

Image
“Chassidic Jews during the Yom Kippur.”

The most important Chassidic dynasties are; Aleksander (Aleksandrow / Poland), Amshinov (Mszczonow / Poland), Ashlag (Warsaw / Poland), Belz (Belz / Ukraine), Berditchev (Berdyshiv / Ukraine), Bergsass (Beregszász / Poland), Bobov (Bolała / Ukraine), Biala (Biała Podlaska / Poland), Boyan (Bukovina / Ukraine), Breslev (Breslov / Ukraine), Chabad Lubavitch (Lubavich / Russia), Dorog (Hajdudorog / Poland), Karlin-Stolin (Karlin / Belarus), Machnovka (Mashnovka / Ukraine), Melitz (Mielec / Poland), Modzitz (Deblin / Poland), Munkacz (Muncakz / Hungary), Nardvorna (Nadvima / Ukraine), Nikolsburg (Czech Republic), Novominsk (Minsk Mazowiecki / Poland), Sanz Klausenberg (Cluj-Napoca / Romania and Sanz / Poland), Satmar Mare / Romania, Skver Skivira / Ukraine, Vyzhnytsia /
(Ungvar / Hungary). The colors of socks, types of shoes, sizes of shtreimel are different characteristics of each dynasty. Chabad Lubavitch, one of the most famous and important Chassidic societies that also acts as a political entity, does not use shtreimel or mid-knee pants, lubavitchers wear long trousers, open black suits and no tie, usually a fedora or a top hat, different from Breslev, which uses white socks and white clothes on holidays and religious festivities.

Chassidic Jews become extremely aggressive as confronted by people of other religions, especially Christians who are dubbed "missionaries" because of the fame of Christians converting people to their religion.

It is almost impossible for a Chassidic Zionist to attend an anti-Israel yeshiva or any Zionist policy, there are extreme cases of violence and vandalism in both the United States and Israel, especially between the pro-Israel Gur dynasty and the members of the Neturei Karta, anti-Zionists.
The Breslev dynasty is known worldwide for its joy when it comes to its most influential rabbi, Nachman of Breslov, who inspired the song 'Rabbi Na Nach Nachman Meuman.' Some members of the Breslev dynasty often dance to music rock and pop rock, usually accompanied by a van that runs the cities where there are Breslev yeshivas. Such fame has led to the nickname commonly used in the United States, Israel and Canada, 'BresLOVErs Hasidim', which abuses the Yiddish name of the city which Breslev is the only Chassidic dynasty that elects its 'Rebbes' through the vote of community members, not automatically as the son, brother or close relative of the former rabbi.

There are two dynasties in the universe of Bobov Hasidim, one simply takes the Yiddish name of the city, Bobov, and the other takes the name along with the significant number of Hebrew numerology, the Bobov-45. There are fights that also include vandalism and violence between these two dynasties that separated in the year of 2005, the conflicts continued until the year 2014, when Rebbe Ben Zion Aryeh Leibish Halberstam of Bobov and Rebbe Mordechai Dovid Unger of the Bobov-45 signed a pact of friendship among all other Chassidic dynasties, except with the Neturei Karta, which ended the ideological conflicts of the last 10 years.

Vor v. Zakone

The involvement between Kosher Nostra and VvZ disappeared in the 1980s, during the fall of several criminals of Russian or Transcaucasian origin because of investigations or wars with the future Chechen mafia and own clans of the Russian mafia.

Unlike other ethnicities that are part of VVZ, Jews, depending largely on their degree of religious practice, seek to sport few tattoos, as it is a sin in the eyes of God, since the tattoo is seen as a kind of cut on the skin , which goes against one of the 614 commandments, cuts are seen as a kind of mutilation to the body and a serious offense to the creation of God. Important criminals like Semyon Mogilevich and Yevsey Agron were never seen sporting tattoos, even being affiliated to the prison group.

The great majority of VVZ Jews are purely Russian or Ukrainian, but the presence of Jews known as Kavkaz Yuhuri, or in the literal translation "Jews of the mountain", present mainly in the region today that correspond to Azerbaijan, Ossetia South and Georgia, are probably part of the Khazar people, a nation that converted to Judaism and inhabited the eastern Caspian Sea, the Caucasus and part of Russia, responsible for containing the Arab invasion in Rus of Kiev, with the help of the Byzantine Empire . The Kavkaz Yuhuri are represented mainly by the Georgian criminals Murat Belanga (Marat Balagula) and Bentzion Ben Yaakov (Boris Dekanidze).

More

Chassidim / haredim Jews do not have television, radios or computers in their homes, they simply consider sin by the current mode of censorship, where television allows the exhibition of seminus men and women in prime time and / or profanity and anti-Semitism. The vast majority of today's Kosher Nostra are Chassidim, so they have large beards and follow as many commandments as possible, attempting to dribble them to commit crimes.

Jews are generally excessive smokers, they smoke in front of their children and are not afraid to develop any disease because of smoking, especially Chassidic Jews. There are rare cases of Jews who have died because of smoking or diseases caused by it, perhaps something related to the genetic code and body formation and mainly, of the airways.

Jews, especially Chassidic Jews, often eat and value fruits, wine and bread. In some ultra-orthodox yeshivas, there is the free distribution of pears and apples on Fridays and Thursdays, hours before the beginning of the Sabbath.

California

“Chabad Lubavitch on the west coast of the United States, San Francisco.”

In California, the largest Chassidic community is formed by the Russian dynasty called Chabad Lubavitch of Los Angeles, one of the branches of the Chabad dynasty that is currently led by Rabbi Avrom Avreel Shemtov. Chabad Lubavitch throughout California has about 130,000 members, 3 synagogues and 41 yeshivas scattered throughout the state. In California it is still possible to see the presence of the Amshinov, Bobov / Bobov-45, Breslev, Satmar, Vizhnitz, Nikolsburg and Sanz Klausenberg dynasties, with two synagogues from the Bobov / Bobov-45 dynasty, one Breslever and one from the Vizhnitz which is also composed of the Chassidim of Nikolsburg and Sanz Klausenberg.
