We express our anger and disappointment at Mayor de Blasio’s scapegoating the Jewish community in response to the funeral of Rabbi Chaim Mertz . In the midst of an historic wave of antisemitic hate violence in New York City, our community has been feeling the pain of being singled out and blamed for the spread of this deadly disease.
Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum, Rabbi Rachel Timoner, and Matt Nosanchuk write a letter to the editor in response to a news article published January 29, 2020, “Attorney General Adds an Arrow to the Quiver of Critics of Bail Reform.”
Undoing bail reform will do nothing to help address the increase in anti-Semitic attacks or increase the safety and security in Orthodox communities. Rather than making incendiary arguments about bail reform, we need to be taking a serious look at strategies that will actually reduce hate and prevent anti-Semitic attacks against Orthodox Jews from recurring.
