Ocean County communities unite behind Republican gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli in first-ever coordinated endorsement

In a first for New Jersey politics, Orthodox Jewish leaders across Ocean County have united behind Republican gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli, forming one of the state’s most influential faith-based voting coalitions, according to a report.

The Lakewood Scoop reported that the endorsement — announced jointly by councils representing Lakewood, Jackson, Toms River, Howell, and Manchester — marks an unprecedented show of unity from a community that has become a decisive force in New Jersey politics.

After thanking President Donald Trump for his efforts on behalf of Israel and his fight against antisemitism, the Vaad endorsed Ciattarelli for governor, citing his alignment with the community’s concerns over schooling, infrastructure and taxes.

Ciattarelli aims to flip New Jersey from blue to red as he faces Democratic candidate Mikie Sherrill.

Maybe their counterparts in New York will do the same—wait, too late there too.

Uh, yup! American Jews are a conundrum. The ones we know all suffer extreme TDS. Weird.

These are Orthodox Jews, mostly haredi, and represent an estimated 65,000 voters. Many are refugees from New York.

It is. It also gives less observant Jews social cover and pressure to leave the Democrat Ghetto. Very huge.

As more and more cities elect radical Democrat Muslim mayors. more and more Jews will decide stupidity isn’t the answer. Old habits are hard to break.

Sigh, that is like thinking Christians start to vote Republican ... 75 years too late. American Jews can be viewed in four general categories according to religious practice or lack thereof. The same may be generally viewed in those called Christians.

    The majority of the Orthodox vote Republican.
  1. Orthodox
  2. Conservative
  3. Reform
  4. Other

...Lakewood continues to be an emerging political force in the state and, at present, is New Jersey’s most populous municipality that reliably votes Republican in statewide contests (it gave Donald Trump 88% of the vote in 2024)...

Reform Jews are like Unitarian Christians—left wing kooks.

Orthodox Jews back Trump by massive margin, poll finds

Most Jews in the U.S. are left-leaving "reform" (non-observant), but that is changing rapidly. In New Jersey, Orthodox have grown by 300% in the past 10 years alone. Within 20 years, the majority of Jews in the U.S. will be right-leaning Orthodox.

You left out number five: Atheists who call themselves Jews.

They are included with the agnostics in number 4.

Albert Einstein: A physicist who was a devoutly cultural Jew, identifying with the heritage but not a belief in God.

Who knows, but God, who they encounter in their last minutes ?
