There are Eruv's popping up all over NJ. Many of the Orthodox come in from large cities where they rent, then come to communities where they begin to own their own homes in NJ and subsequently pay property taxes. They see the need for smaller and less government and better fiscal control in school systems, city councils and freeholder boards.
They can not send their children to public schools which makes them proponents of school voucher and tuition tax credit programs for funding private schools, they also advocate school choice for all.
They are pro life and pro family abiding by G-d's natural law.
Many of the Orthodox tend to vote republican while many of the Reformed tend to vote the Barbara Streisand way.

70%?? Orthodox Jews Bump!!
To: Coleus
I think the more religious the Jews the more supportive of Bush. A lot of Jews have abandoned Judiasm and embraced liberalism and Democrats as their form of religion. HOpefully the Orthodox Jews will be the new trend setters, which would be soooooooo cool! A trendy orthodox Jew??? This election just keeps bringing good news.

I am a reform Jew and I voted for Bush. Too many of us just don't have a clue. But we are coming around. The trend is good since 1992, up about 5% every election. Our goal should be 30% for 2008.

Hi Coleus. I hope all is well with you up in Jersey.
I've looked for results for Lakewood (Ocean County) and West Orange (Essex), but haven't seen any Presidential race breakdowns that detailed. Do you know what they were?

Let's hope, now we have to work on the blacks and Hispanics a bit more, the Hispanics are slowly turning around, I think 44% voted for President Bush.

As time goes on, more and more people are seeing that there is nothing humane about Left wing politics. On the international front, it's clear that the Left in Europe would throw the Jews to the terrorists as quickly as the Right did when it collaborated with the Nazis in the 1930s and '40s. The role of government, too, should be to protect minorities with law, but not to hold the hand of everyone so that they never become self-sufficient.

We have the same problem in the Catholic Faith, I think we've been going R since McGovern then more with Reagan and now some more with Bush 43. It's taking time but in the long run I think the Catholics will be primarily republicans and pro life.

"I don't get this," said Rabbi Stephen C. Lerner of Kanfei Shahar, a Conservative congregation in Teaneck. "Suddenly, Bush, who previously had no record on Israel and has all these connections to Saudi Arabian oil fields, is Israel's best friend?" Bush had no record on Israel because he was a governor, and before that a ball team owner. But he's also an evangelical Christian and they are Israel's closest friends, including evangelical oil men.

Is there a large Orthodox population in West Orange these days? It hasn't become an extension of East Orange yet?

I don't know whether you'd call it large, but there is a good number in Pleasant Valley.

The only Jews that voted for Kerry were blind to the truth.
