Hasidic Jewish men are immediately recognizable by their long side curls, beards, [[fedora]]s, and black clothing. They also have large families, which also partly account for the fast growth of [[Orthodox Judaism]] in [[America]]. Most Hasidic Jews live in [[New York City]], in the Crown Heights neighborhood of [[Brooklyn]], and in neighboring towns like Monsey and Kiryas Joel, an almost-entirely Hasidic Jewish village. There are also Hasidic populations in other major American cities. Outside of America, most Hasidic Jews live in [[Jerusalem]].
