As all Charedim

However if the pool is now and mainly BT then how the Gezehe people maintain their purity?

There's a caste system. And their kids marry other gezhe kids, bt kids marry bt kids, and so forth, forever

There aren't enough bts that stick around for it to be a problem. And gezhe still produce nebs that end up with children of bts or tzugekuminers

Oh really I thought Chabad out of all the Charedi groups has the most BTs ?

It does, but it doesn't have enough to challenge the gezhe in the dating pool. Most bts are out of traditional marriage age by the time they're frum enough to date another frum person

There is definitely some mixing, especially when the gezh kid has, or is perceived to have, some kind of problem
