The Yiddishe iPhone

Apparently they don't care very much that the internet was assered.

The Times Herald Record, big on anti-Semitism, small on common sense

The latest article to bash Hasidic Jews printed in the Times Herald Record rag about the arrest of the Monroe Mayor (yes, arrest, this is English) did wonders to reveal the true sentiments of the paper and their writing staff. The article, penned by John Sullivan, goes through more loops than a Six Flags roller coaster to make it look like Monroe Mayor John Karl III was the victim of a Hasidic Jew, when by all witness accounts it is quite clear that the Mayor was actually the aggressor and had overstepped both his professional and personal boundaries and had behaved inappropriately with Mr. Goldberger.

The Record is not concerned in the least bit of the wrongdoing that was perpetrated here by a government official onto another human being, but rather on the fact that the man was a Hasidic Jew and that a Hasidic web-site misused the word 'arrested'.

The Record needs to get rid of this ugly and destructive anti-Semitic and anti-Hasidic agenda and start putting the onus where it belongs.

As for the definition of the word 'arrested', the Record does not even need to go as far as to look into a dictionary to find the correct definition, but at their own published material which uses the exact word quite often to define the same situation.

Amazingly enough, since Times Herald Record writer Chris McKenna left his position as Kiryas Joel reporter, the Times Herald Record had no problem finding someone that shared his views, such as John Sullivan, to replace him.

Frum WIC worker harasses women in Boro-Park

We are posting this as per an overwhelming readership request.

There is a Frum person, with a yarmulka and beard, named David, that works in the Boro-Park WIC office on Fort Hamilton Parkway and 56th Street, who harasses the women clients while he serves them. According to many client accounts he will ask very personal questions and will whisper them, asking the women to bend in closer to hear what he is saying. Many times after getting an answer to a personal question from an unsuspecting woman he will then admonish her for what she had said to him and will tell her that he disapproves of it. Also, when serving a woman he will purposely make them wait for a very long time for no apparent reason and will keep on going back for erroneous things that he supposedly forgot, hassling them all the while.

We have been getting many messages to post this story from numerous people sporadically over the last few weeks but have held out posting it until we investigated the matter and made attempts to have it worked out. We interviewed many of his victims and got very similar reports. We also spoke to his supervisor who said that because he was a union worker there was not much more she could do than to warn him. She said that if any real action was to be taken to rectify the situation there would have to be letters sent to the main WIC office by regular citizens.

Guardian Angels to meet with armed citizens' patrol



An 18-year-old man was shot to death late Tuesday in Edgewood Park, a day after a citizen's group said it was arming itself to combat rampant street crime in that area of the city.

The park slaying was the second shooting death Tuesday. Earlier in the day, a 30-year-old man was gunned down on nearby George Street in the city's West River section, and later died at the Hospital of Saint Raphael. The two deaths were the city's fourth and fifth homicides of the year and the third and fourth this month.

The killings came on the same day as the Guardian Angels pledged to meet with Orthodox Rabbi Daniel Greer and other Edgewood neighborhood activists who Monday announced the formation of the armed Edgewood Park Defense Patrol, claiming police were not doing enough to keep the area's residents safe.
