1122334455, that’s disheartening. I grew up in Passaic/Clifton, and while it had its share of issues, it struck me as a relatively tolerant an accepting community. There were always various people of various ethnic backgrounds in the community, as far as I could tell.
I find it the absolute cruelest of ironies that Jews, especially Orthodox Jews, could be intolerant of those who are ‘different’, be it racially or ethnically….
