Going south from Betty Smith's section of Williamsburgh you encounter Hasidic Williamsburgh, a world of its own. While I was driving through it, on my way back to Windsor Terrace, I heard this blaring from a car with a megaphone on its roof. My yiddish is weak. I only recognized "leben" and "mishpooka." Maybe someone would be good enough to supply a translation.
