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% of orthodox Jews, 25% of conservative Jews and 5% of reform Jews vote for Bush

70%?? Orthodox Jews Bump!!

[Wonderama]

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.

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?

"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.

Okay, this Frank Luntz thing is the first poll I've seen outside the insane clown ones that have been quoted by everyone previously. I wonder if Luntz also concludes that it's only 25% for Bush. We had a big argument about it last night at our Jewish Republican BBQ. I am one of the people who believes the numbers for Bush are much higher.

[Zionist Conspirator]

But Bush's 25 percent of the total Jewish vote was an improvement from his 19 percent showing in 2000. And election results from Bergen County show a striking change in the voting patterns within Orthodox neighborhoods. In the district near the Englewood synagogue, about 45 percent of voters went for Bush, as opposed to 21 percent in 2000.

You mean 55% of an Orthodox population went for Kerry??? Where's Rabbi Mosheh Feinstein (zt"l; zy"`a) when we need him!

Oh well. They're not lagging too far behind the Catholics in this regard.

"There are those within the community who are very frightened by this association," Goldin said. "They feel the evangelical movement has always been more interested in converting Jews than in helping Jews."

Don't be frightened! No religious Jews will be converted!! Anyone that would convert was probably not very attached to Judaism. Spend more $$ to reach the unaffiliated, and don't be afraid of Christians!! We have more common goals than not.
