Everything from Purim (a holiday they celebrate) to school to some of the things they aren't supposed to exactly do. The first half of Hush is interludes of Gittel-and Devory's young lives. One person who does know about Kathy is Gittel's best friend Devory. Gittel isn't even supposed to tell her friends about the goy (non-Jew) upstairs neighbor Kathy-or the sort-of Kosher candy Kathy gives her. Holiness, humility and being humble are everything to the Chassidim. Their community, where most Chassidim live is governed by very set rules written centuries ago rules that determine everything from what they can eat to pet ownership to what they can wear. Growing up in Borough Park, Brooklyn, Gittel and her whole family, really her whole life is part of the very insular Chassidic Jewish community in which she lives.
