From your angle it looks like living in a "ghetto?I mean the very orthodox Jews...that they themselves does not want the melage with other parts of society.I'm I right?

It is a good time to wish you! חג שבועות שמח.

Dear Michael,

This is a great POV. The compression of the scene as you present it here really  captures the atmosphere of the place, and not just in allowing more into the scene, but in conveying the density of life there. I also find the subtle colors to be an interesting and effective "take" on this. Well done!

Many of the tenement buildings in the Lower East Side that housed the wave of immigrant Jews from the late 19th and early 20th centuries still are standing and are functional.  I'm not totally sure that those portrayed in this image fit that description, though.

I'm glad you connected with the image.  Thanks for your kind words.
