This matter of using tactics that originated in Eretz Yisroel and Yerushalayim in Chutz La’aretz is highly questionable at best. Problem is if you view the U.S. as the Promised Land, you’ll feel that we are the masters of the land, or at leaset “our” neighborhoods. Therefore “we can do what we like” without fear of any backlash from the host gentiles. I think an honest assessment would indicate otherwise. It would be prudent to consult da’as Torah about these sort of demonstrations in Money, Lakewood, or anywhere else in the U.S. The U.S.A. in general has been extraordinarily benevolent to our people, kein yirbu, including for the most part allowing the frum Jews to live our lives as we see fit. Let’s not wear out our welcome and cause friction and animosity that might not be sanctioned by halachah and might not be very smart.
