“The Lakewood Vaad applauds NJ Attorney General Porrino for his decisive action in bringing a lawsuit against the documented and blatant anti-Semitism exhibited by Mahwah Township officials in multiple instances,” said Rabbi Moshe Zev Weisberg, spokesman for The Lakewood Vaad.

“It would behoove other municipalities in the State, who have entertained similar anti-American, racist and/or anti-Semitic policies, or have given sanction and safe haven to the haters in their midst, to take heed and adjust their policies quickly to avoid being the target of similar legal action.”

Rabbi Weisberg added, “This is a great day for upholding the civil and religious rights of all Americans, and a celebration of the values of justice, freedom and diversity this country stands for.”
