NY Board of Rabbis condemns ‘shameful' violence at Brooklyn protests
|
[JPost] - The New York Board of Rabbis condemned recent protests in an Orthodox neighborhood in Brooklyn at which face masks were burned and at least one person wound up in the hospital after being beaten.
"We cannot defend individuals in our Jewish community who demonstrate a blatant disregard for the COVID-19 health protocols and endanger their lives and those of other people," the 750-member rabbinic group said in a statement Thursday, the New York Post reported.
"We are also appalled by the shameful behavior of those who burn masks or beat people who protest their non-compliance," the statement added.
The statement comes in the wake of several nights of protests in the heavily Orthodox Brooklyn neighborhood of Borough Park against measures the city and state are taking to contain the spread of the coronavirus. At one protest, the brother of Mordy Getz, a well-known Orthodox businessman who had been outspoken about the need for masks and social distancing, was beaten and had to be taken to the hospital. A reporter and a cameraman were also the targets of violence.
Haredim: the form is, superficially, Jewish - but the content is a weird mixture of Idolatry & Islam.
