New York Daily News<\/a>:<\/p>\n

A New Jersey town has introduced hateful and highly discriminatory new rules aimed at barring Orthodox Jews from moving in, according to a stunning complaint filed by the state attorney general.<\/p>\n

The nine-count complaint accuses Mahwah’s public officials and most vocal residents of using the same tactics employed by “1950s-era white flight suburbanites who sought to keep African-Americans from moving into their neighborhoods.”<\/p>\n

The lawsuit takes aim at two ordinances that state prosecutors say were designed specifically to deter Orthodox Jews seeking to relocate from upstate New York, according to NJ Advance Media.<\/p>\n

The first edict, which went into effect at the end of July, barred out of state residents from using Mahwah parks and other recreational facilities.<\/p>\n

The measure would have prevented Orthodox Jews from installing on utility poles a white piping used to create an eruv, a ritual boundary that allows the community members to carry house keys or push baby strollers outside the home on the Sabbath.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
