Hasidic, Orthodox Jews, Street Photography, Problem? in Travel Posted December 9, 2005 Aside from all of the excellent points made by others, Ultra-Orthodox Jews do not appreciate being photographed on the Sabbath and on holidays. Although they can't really avoid it, they do see it as a violation of the "spirit" of the Sabbath day. You might have more luck on another day of week.
