As someone that has tried hard to follow the law, and with the deepest respect to NY leadership. You ignored the protests. You ignored the looting. You ignored the businesses closing. You ignored your constituents. Now you close our Shuls during the holidays? BRING IT.

We have a clear and effective plan to respond to any clusters that threaten our progress. We will attack each area in the cluster with appropriate restrictions. Here is the map of the Brooklyn cluster along with the rules.

He’s been admitted 24+ hours ago, so the doctors assigned to him are on another floor. This isn’t a “bash Maimonodies” post, this is “I don’t know what else to do post” He went to Maimonodies because all his doctors & records are there, but it’s looking like that was a mistake.

This article says that Manhattan has the lowest Covid rates in the City because they have “none of the huge Hasidic congregations found in Brooklyn and Queens.” This type of stereotyping is appalling and must be called out!

The @nytimes spent hundreds of hours dedicated to producing 1 sided articles that attack Orthodox Jews. Is it a coincidence that hate crimes against Jews are up 125% in November ‘22? 97% of the crimes were against Orthodox Jews. The very same people the @NYTimes is targeting.

Over the past 14 weeks, NY Times has dedicated 14 articles to attack the Hasidic Jewish community, by a team of reporters solely focused on a mission to present a one-sided view of Jews. The #1 target of violent hate crimes in NY should remember who put the target on their backs

@Badchen You’re making a mistake. The 99% of business owners referenced, aren’t COLLEGE educated. They’re very educated otherwise. They’ve spent years using critical thinking to analyze text, referencing various opinions to problem solve questions. Yes, they’re very educated.

They couldn’t bestow a higher honor upon me. I am blocked by very few handles, because I rarely engage in the back and forth nonsense. When one of the top anti-Chassidic hate groups block you, you’ve done something right.

Why is it in the city’s best interest to antagonize Trump, when we need every federal dollar we can get? Why does it take YEARS for DOT to do anything, but suddenly now they have 20 workers available all day?

Nothing says “standing up against anti-semitism” like promoting Intifada. Within Our Lifetime Is an anti-Semitic group, yet you promote it at every turn. Your own tweets have shown that “you’ve always stood up for Jews” is a lie.

Damning video evidence of NYC’s targeting of Jewish Schools. Lists of schools to receive summonses are made even BEFORE a visit is made to verify. Are Jewish businesses which have also been specifically targeted also on lists? Who makes these lists? We deserve an answers.

@MarkTreyger718 When the DOE announced they were giving cleaning supplies to private and parochial schools, that was a farce. Schools were given 2-3 bars of soap, and 2 bottles of bleach for an ENTIRE SCHOOL. The DOE is grossly unprepared for this virus.

3 years ago I joined 90,000 people at the largest celebration of Daf Yomi in the world. Everyday 100,000’s of Orthodox Jews spend an hour studying 1 page of Talmud. The process to completion takes 7.5 years. This is the largest continuing education system in the world.

Just an FYI, when the IDF hits a mosque in Gaza, it’s not because they don’t care about the mosque. It’s because Hamas doesn’t care about the mosque.

This was the Buchenwald concentration camp “sleeping quarters”. NYC gov has spent millions of dollars to make immigrants feel as comfortable as possible with stretched resources. You can disagree with a policy without comparing it to the systematic murder of 6 million Jews.
