What are some examples of similes from The Chosen by Chaim Potok in Chapter 1?

From the text:

A block away lived another Hasidic sect, Jews from southern Poland, who walked the Brooklyn streets like specters, with their black hats, long black coats, black beards, and earlocks. pg. 11

“They don’t only play to win. They play like it’s the first of the Ten Commandments.” pg. 17
