The Chasidim did not take over, yet. The Associated press clarified its story about Lakewood Hasidic residents buying homes in neighboring towns. In a statement this is what the AP said.
LAKEWOOD, N.J. (AP) — In a story Feb. 23, The Associated Press reported that a conflict over housing in Lakewood, New Jersey, was caused by an influx of Hasidic Jews. While the town has a large population of Hasidic Jews, according to Avi Schnall, the state director of Agudath Israel of America, an organization representing Orthodox Jews, the story should have noted that the majority of the Jews in Lakewood are of Lithuanian Ashkenazi descent and that Orthodox Jews overall are driving the housing crunch.
not quite true.. While most dress in the litvish fashion, the majority are descendants of immigrants from Hungary and Romania.. Those countries were among the last to be invaded by the Nazis ym"s and more of them survived the war.
