Its a toss-up. Neither much cares for modernity. Both eschew razors. Each group's fashion sense is "17th Century Farmer Chic". Both cultures are governed by strict interpretations of fictional books written thousands of years ago by people who thought you could sail off the edge of the earth straight into space. I'm going to say yes, the Amish are interchangeable with Hasidic Jews. If a Hasidic Jew on your team blows out his ACL, you can sub in an Amish guy and no one will notice.
Actually amish do not eschew razors. They shave their mustaches cause they are "militaristic."
