As someone who has lived in the area for the last 34 years, and has seen how much the neighberhood has improved with the building of The Cheder I do not understand the opposition to this. Should Yeshivas have to build buildings in areas where parents are afraid to let their children walk? Why is a Yeshiva causing some of the people on Elmwood such angst? I would love if a Yeshiva would build next to my house, even with all the issues that come with it. It is overall a big benefit for the area.

Of course, the gut reaction of many people will be to label them as anti-semitic, as they live happily on their quiet block.

I think it’s “Midwood Residents vs. the Cheder”… The Cheder doesnt oppose them, they oppose it.
