Meanwhile, the Post profiles a “typical procreative” Borough Park couple<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Faye and Shlomo Cisner are a typical procreative Borough Park couple: They have eight kids, and more could be on the way.<\/p>\n

“It is a possibility,” Faye Cisner. “Thank God. God gives. We accept.”<\/p>\n

Faye is 33, Shlomo 35.<\/p>\n

They have six boys and two girls — including a set of twins.<\/p>\n

The youngest, Chaim, is 10 months old. There’s also Joseph, 2; Reuben, 4; Rachel, 5; Meir, 7; Jacob, 8; and twins Nisson and Yocheved, who are 10.<\/p>\n

The Cisners, who are Orthodox Jews, said they are carrying on the Jewish tradition of having many children. And that’s what many do in Borough Park.<\/p>\n

. . .<\/p>\n

Faye starts every morning doing the never-ending load of laundry for 10 people.<\/p>\n

The kids eat in two shifts, and she likened the experience to serving people in a restaurant. The six older children board four different buses to get to and from school.<\/p>\n

“There’s juggling. It gets a bit overwhelming. But it’s an amazing experience,” Faye said.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
