- ADL comments on Jackson: "We are extremely concerned by hateful comments made during the public hearing, including calls to bar an Orthodox council member from voting," Anti-Defamation League New York/New Jersey regional director Scott Richman said in a statement. "The rhetoric used plays into classic anti-Semitic tropes and conspiracy theories about power and influence. Given the broader context of rising antisemitism in this country, we are especially concerned."

- A member of the Satmar Chassidishe community in New York and his wife have been exposed as impostors. “He participated in matzah baking the day before Pesach at the finest bakery, delivered drashos in shuls, and received extensive support for his family. Chassidim actively fundraised on his behalf,” said a member of the community.

Sources within the community revealed yesterday that, unbeknownst to them, the couple had been leading a completely secular lifestyle for the past five years, suggesting that they had been imposters from the very start. Matzav.com
