at least two issues,
1. the apparent bigotry involved and
2. the apparent illegality and/or corruption of some local officials

so i draw no conclusions as to any individuals but
it sure does sound like that little town has some bigtime problems to clean up
“We’re not supposed to be here,” Mr. Hofstein said. “Nobody saw us.”

There is some tension between the Orthodox community and locals ( including non Orthodox Jews). I know a couple people in and around Lakewood and some of the problems seem to be related by perceived attempts by some Members of the Orthodox community to depress property values and then buy up the land.

Those 3 guys sound like the 3 Stooges all right. Better off without them. That having been said, is it not illegal to intentionally suppress a certain group from purchasing real estate? And, would those haughty people prefer a bunch of muzzies, drug dealers, or ghetto scum move in?
“The “Orthodox Jewish” element to it is a secondary issue, “
No its THE issue.
Men dont work, they’re students in school. Big families, no income means all on food stamps, medicaid pay no taxes. They block vote to get the state to pay for everything. Separate public facilities for men and women. And YOU arent allowed.
Look for the boundary around their ghetto. Sometimes, in places ts an actual wire.
They are anti-american separatists.
Go ahead, dispute my facts.
As bad as the moose-limbs.
Were not talking plain vanilla jews.
