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.
By now you've all heard about the Chanukah Party attack in Monsey, New York. That's Rockland County, across the Hudson River from where we grew up. There's a huge Hasidic community in Rockland County and driving across the Tappan Zee Bridge one will inevitably see a bearded man behind the wheel of a van with several kids in the back.
As we've noted before, there's a wee Juden Hass problem within the African-American community. Al Sharpton, the Reverend Jackson, Calypso Louis, Tamika Mallory, the DC city councilmen who thinks the Jews have a weather control device.
The failed Governor of New York State and the failed Mayor of New York City both blame Trump. Cuomo are De Blasio are pigs.
We utterly torched someone on FB last night for making that same idiotic argument. Let us be clear, there has never, in all Jewish history, been a better place for Jews than America, starting with the Touro Synagogue founded in 1676 in Newport, Connecticut.
When President Washington visited Newport, the synagogue sent a letter of welcome, the president wrote back:
It would be inconsistent with the frankness of my character not to avow that I am pleased with your favorable opinion of my administration, and fervent wishes for my felicity. May the Children of the Stock of Abraham, who dwell in this land, continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other Inhabitants; while everyone shall sit in safety under his own vine and fig tree, and there shall be none to make him afraid. May the father of all mercies scatter light and not darkness in our paths, and make us all in our several vocations useful here, and in his own due time and way everlastingly happy.
Brings a goddamn tear to the eye.
