1/2/20 (almost wrote 19) in New Jersey

NJ.com reports on a massive Hasidic gathering at MetLife (almost wrote Giants) Stadium:

Nearly 100,000 people are expected to gather Wednesday at MetLife Stadium to celebrate the Siyum HaShas, a major event for Orthodox Jews — and officials say security will be tight in the wake of recent attacks on Jewish residents in the region. The celebration comes three weeks after the mass shooting at a Kosher market in Jersey City and five days after the mass stabbing at a Hanukkah celebration at a rabbi’s home in Monsey, New York, just across the New Jersey border.

Brent Johnson tells us about the actual commemoration. Don't ask us, we know nothing about it.

Anyway, here we are in 2020, with Jews gathering to celebrate Judaism amid 'heightened security'. This story hasn't garnered national attention till now becuase the wrong kind of Jews are getting attacked. These aren't Steven Spielberg style secularists but hardcore religious people who dedicate their lives to the Torah. Also they vote Republican, so...

This blog once more directs reader(s) to this excellent video by Canadian Jew and human rights activist Ezra Levant. The Confederate Contingent should be amused.

In response to the Hanukkah Stabbing, Hasidic Jews in Monsey are open carrying AR-15s. Some write letters to the ADL, others take action.

Long time reader(s) know we are highly critical of Hasidic Jews, having dealt with them teaching in a Yeshiva, and don't much care for them. We just don't want to stab them to death.
