Mayhem ensued at a popular dating spot for frum people on Long Island when gunshots rang out on Sunday afternoon.
Police say two revelers and a security guard were injured in a shooting during a private event at The Mansion at Glen Cove, a luxury hotel whose bar, game room, and other areas have served as the venue for hundreds of frum dates.
The incident occurred amid a “disturbance” among the party’s attendees, police noted, saying there were 150 to 200 revelers at the venue when bullets began flying. All three victims of the shooting suffered non-life-threatening injuries and were transported to local hospitals for treatment.
The suspect was still on the loose as of Monday morning, but police say that there is no threat to the public as the shooting was the result of a personal dispute.
It isn’t clear if there were any frum daters at the hotel when the incident occurred.

For all those bochurim and young ladies who find conversing with a stranger awkward and difficult, an up close experience with the Wild West would give them something to talk about!
a message from hashem stop the dating
The real truth so then how else are people supposed to get married ?
Can’t wait for Kathy Hochul’s lecture.
@The Real Truth: Why? Because you’re married already?
To the real truth. How to propose (pun intended) to meet a girl / boy without dating??
i meant to say dating today days became a fantasy a style lets do it the old way read rabbi avigdor miller z”l books on dating and marriage
guys come down and take a chill
@The Real Truth: Yes, it must be a message from Hashem! We were wrong all of this time for supporting dating and marriage. Maybe really Judaism believes in celibacy? Thank you TheRealTruth for bringing this to our attention.
Real Truth: You obviously were rejected by all the shadchanim in the 5T area so you want to shut down the options for everyone else??? Perhaps you would prefer that frum bochurim meet their beschert at the local McDonald and unless there is a “mieskeyt alert“, they immediately arrange to have a rav be mesader kiddushin under the Golden Arches and skip all the dating stuff.
@the real truth, what in the world is that supposed to mean?!
Seems like the gunshots were the results of a bad date.
On the other hand they were acting like a married couple, so perhaps it was a match.
To ezra101: arranged marriages, or lottery.
read rabbi avigdor miller z”l books on dating and marriage
@therealtruth could you give us a synopsis of Rabbi Miller’s מהלך because I am curious, but neither have the books or the time to read.
Real Truth: And did this R’ Miller say to ‘skip the dating” part and just find some woman and have children with her? Not sure what your point is, assuming you have one?
