Does the Hasidic community have any advantages in the reseller market? With some of their traditional businesses, such as the diamond trade they do: evaluating gems, connections for sourcing stones, etc.
I do keep track when I can order, for instance right now they are closed for Succos.
What I got out of it is they spend a lot of time doing intensive Talmud studies, and perhaps that teaches discipline and hones intellectual skills.
Then someone with this background finds themselves struggling to support their family and they realize that with some hustle, they can do it through Amazon.
I believe the only advantage is being near a large city so there's a lot of stuff available to buy at a discount. NYC is a very interesting city. The other possible advantage is that self-starting is an admirable trait amongst the Hasidim.
