She was likely seeing Hasidic Jews, who are quite distinct in the way they live and dress https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hasidic_Judaism
Hasidic teaching stories are charming. Here is one:
When Rabbi Zusha was on his deathbed, his students found him in great distress. They tried to comfort him by telling him that he was almost as wise as Moses, so he was sure to be judged positively in Heaven. He replied, "When I pass from this world and appear before the Heavenly Tribunal, they won't ask me, 'Zusha, why weren't you as wise as Moses?' They will ask me, 'Zusha, why weren't you Zusha?'"
I think it is unrelated. Regardless of how dangerous is an area, there are still people who libe there and have to go there or through there for various reasons.
It is not like life stops when places have an higher crime rate. Peoole still conduct business, have family outings and whatnot.
Besides the feeling of safety is totally subjective and some white neighborhoods you might consider safe as a white person might be unsafe to people of colors going there because they will be viewed under the bias of systemic racism and might be seen as a threat to people.
Absolutely. Same with the favelas – locals are safer than strangers.
Incidentally, the UK government website contains specific warnings about using GPS navigation in Brazil:
---------
The security situation in many favelas is unpredictable. Visiting a favela can be dangerous. Avoid all favelas, including favela tours marketed to tourists and any accommodation, restaurants or bars advertised as being within a favela.
You should:
– make sure the suggested route does not take you into a favela if you’re using GPS navigation
– avoid entering unpaved, cobbled or narrow streets which may lead into a favela - tourists have been shot after accidentally entering favelas
If you’re unsure about a location, check with your hotel or the local authorities.
