Money quote:
"The controversy is indicative of deepening religious conservatism in the American Orthodox world. William B. Helmreich, a professor of sociology and Judaic studies at the City University of New York Graduate Center, said that "in a society where people feel via the Internet and television their very values are under constant attack, there's a need for people to reassert their level of religiosity, and one way this is done is by discovering new restrictions which give people the opportunity to demonstrate their adherence to their faith."
The Times further reports that filters are being installed all over the city, ranging in cost from $99 to $1,150.
The sure winners? Plumbers and water filter entrepreneurs.
