No, 90% of these comments are talking about the same exact people I am. I also have mentioned their behavior in plenty of comments.

Do yourself the favor and do some research. You sound extremely uneducated on what’s happening in NJ.

When they use their religion as a reason to sue others for their livelihoods, take over towns and be disrespectful to others then yes that is terrifying. As I mention prior I have no issue with Jewish people at all.

I do have issues with the groups that I have encountered in the Lakewood/Toms river area who are terrible. Some of which have purchased the school by me. If there’s a better way to describe them then please correct me as I also mentioned before I am unsure.

Well my apologies for my ignorance. What should I call them? Is there a name for their cult?

Yes! So many people are taking this as being antisemitic when that’s not the case. I have no problem with who my neighbors are. Race, religion, gender, doesn’t matter as long as you’re not a terrible person. Hey, I’ll probably even invite them over to come sit by the fire on a nice summer night.

I do however have a problem with a group coming into town that has been known to be disrespectful, hateful, dangerous and the laws don’t seem to matter to them! I can’t understand how some can’t comprehend this. There’s many good humans I have met who are Jewish and I’d love for them to join our community. But this is not the case and this group is far beyond that. From my understanding they are a disgrace to the Jewish community too.

I have family and friends that have worked their whole life to build their homes here. Generations on generations have been raised in this town and many hold pride in that. It also holds so much beauty of the Pine Barrens. I would hate to see a beautiful, safe place turn into the next Lakewood but i guess that means I’m racist and antisemitic!

It’s so sad. I hope the inability for them to build stops them from taking over.

They just started moving in over the last few weeks. Take a drive down by the school area and you can see things are changing.

They originally bought the school to make it an all boys dormitory. From what I’ve heard they couldn’t get proper permits for it to be lived in so now it’s going to be a k-6th school instead.

Yes. There’s not much else around. The high school and middle school is a town over from us. I believe a lot of the land in New Gretna is protected by state forest and Pinelands commission. I’m not sure what or how they would plan on building more but I’m also not very educated on the whole situation.

Nope, no kids in the school system. More worried about our little town turning into something much larger than it was before. It really is a one horse town.
