I grew up in a hasidic/orthodox judaic neighbourhood, but didn't have much exposure to anything other than the tip of the iceberg so to speak.
Those kids who did go to public school (most went to religious school at the synegogue directly across the street from my place) were all reformist and most of them weren't that interested in faith to begin with, but I was always fascinated, whether it be just my general fascination with world religion or my proximity to a synegogue I'll never know.
I used to beg my mother to enroll me in the hebrew school across the street. "But Deni, we're catholic" she'd argue. Bah, mothers, what do they know? ;)
