I do agree that people who don't use the public school system shouldn't be on the Board of Education, for sure.

I know that that tends to be true.

I do know some haredi Jews that vote differently from their community (friends of mine) but I understand that they are a minority.

Do you have any idea how terrifying these hate crimes are?

Have you been paying attention at all to what is going on in this city, this state, and this country in recent weeks, months, and years in terms of the increase in anti-Semitic hate crimes?
You're throwing in all sorts of things that weren't said. Just stating the facts. Jews are a big voting block, and elected officials know this. I say this as someone who has lived in Jewish neighborhoods and has a business relationship with Jews.

They're getting "all this" security because there is an epidemic of hate crimes against them.

I should add "finally" getting security , because the dramatic increase in antisemitic hate crimes has been happening for at least the past couple of years.

You make it sound like it's all of a sudden. There's always been increased security for the Jewish community during religious holidays and so on.

In a way it is all of a sudden. It's been as if someone was inciting these attacks. Haven't you noticed there haven't been any attacks in over a week. By what's hitting the news today, the Feds are looking into a connection to the "Black Hebrew Israelites" who is a group unaffiliated with mainstream Judaism.

These attacks are happening daily. Not just on the Jewish holidays
