In a crowded NYC subway on a hot summer day, the garlic and curry odors were overpowering.
That said, if I had eaten garlic, curry, or other strong spice for lunch, those odors were undetectable.;-)
Didn’t the same source promote women only hours for moslems a couple of years ago? I guess that was different. These are Jews.
I believe there have bee articles indicating that , at least hours which require muslim garb. Should note that despite the Time’s outrage should focused on women rather than Jewesses, since there are women’s hours, not Jewish women’s hours.
Better than that you only have to identify as a woman, not necessarily a Jewish woman. Then you can reidentify after swimming.
Sex-segregated hours have been the rule at the pool since sometime during the 90s, according to a spokesman for the parks department. The policy was instituted at the request of Orthodox women, apparently without any serious community objections.But a recent anonymous complaint led the citys Commission on Human Rights to notify the parks department that the policy violated the law. Then a new pool schedule was issued, with the womens hours removed. That alarmed female swimmers, who alerted politicians, including the local assemblyman, Dov Hikind.
Leaving aside the fact that Dov Hikind, Jews all look alike, isn't their assemblyman, this has apparently been the policy for several decades with no complaints, depriving the Times of a reason to complain.
It does appear to be against city ordinances, also longstanding. Seems to me the solution would be to change the ordinance.
The solution is to ignore anonymous ANYthings
Consider;
A bored lefty "reporter" has nothing to sell his editor, and while surfing porn on the company computer finds this obscure ordinance .... considers it for a while ... and makes a phone call
Think it doesn't happen ?
The way the Times whines about it you'd think that it only applied to Jewish women. What about Muslim women, Catholic nuns and lesbians who'd also prefer a male-free environment while swimming?
When has Pravda on The Hudson NOT been all about double standards? Never.
Who uses the word “Jewess” in this century? Sounds so Nazi-ish.

Torn here. I feel for my Jewish sisters but I don’t think public places need to change their rules for various religions. The shuls there could pony up and start their own pool. They could put the pool on the campus of a school / camp and let women have one or two afternoons a week.
Muslim women do swim, with long dress and Hijabs on. I see this in Orange County at a mothers beach.
So, maybe if they’re ‘landlocked’, they might like some safe swimming-pool time, just like the Jewish ladies do?
I just don’t see why the Times is so ‘wee-wee-ed’ up about this...I guess it’s just another bias issue of whose ox is being gored.

The Jews have tremendous clout in the area-—they will prevail,and good for them.
The NYT is a rag.
