“ Freedom of religion ends where it impacts other people's rights.
In this country there is a right to open a store with large windows that sells womens' clothing (just as athere is a right to open a seforim store that shows Jewish books in the window). The Taliban would definitely not allow Jewsih books in a window in Afghanistan. We live in a country that is trying to balance everyone's rights INCLUDING YOURS as long as they dont infringe on each other.
If someone had a religion that required screaming "dirty jew" at every Chassid who passed by would you allow them freedom of religion?
The main issue here is that the store is not infringing on any man's RIGHT to close his eyes or avert his gaze when he passes by that store if it affects him in incorrect ways.
Moreover, you unfortunately do not see the underlying issue that the newspaper is exposing. In a neighborhood where these fylers make sense to people, there were no flyers decrying the fact that a man was providing therapy to women alone in a room for many hours for many years(whether or not he was guilty of rape) al while denying the existence of this very vaad... They are pointing out the hypocracy. ”

“ It's not what they stand for. It's wrong how they approach the issue.
A few years ago there was a store in bp with a similar situation. I'm not sure how it was worked out but they now have some sort of screen in the window. It doesn't look too bad.
A frum womens clothing store in middle of a busy area in williamsburg that has many men passing through all day should not have an open view to the pulic.
Perhaps the owners didn't think it through when they designed the store. With some minor changes that can be accomplished.
But the way this vaad is dealing with it is wrong.
Hopefully the store owners will realize what the right thing is and cover up the windows in a proper manner. In that zchus i wish them lots of hatzlocha in their new business. ”

Important to find out if the work for a living, have a side income and most probably get government funding such as Section 8, food stamps, etc; and start reporting the entire family (anonyms) to the IRS, FBI and the district attorney's office I'm not kidding I already have 4 guys from photos and proceeding with it.

then we must start calling the FBI civil rights division (if the DA does nothing) and start arresting these TALIBAN people.

in the very near future there will be a blast via email-text-twitter with phone #s to all these agencies let the parents know that the mamzierim they raised will put them in jail.

“ The Williamsburg culture does not fit this country.

They are much more fit to live between the 1 billion Arabs or the 1 billion Chinese where "Religion" is enforceable. The problem is that many of these same countries persecute Jews as well.

“ I am so happy I am a Conservative Jew and can shop anywhere I please with my children. My husband even comes into the stores with me to pick out camp outfits. How did Judaism change so much that men are upset when they look in a woman's shop's windows? ”

“ #4 This is a CHILDREN'S store!! They are getting in ladies.. but so far it is not in yet and are planning to put in the lower level of the store.
If these perverts would mean it l'shem shumaiyim, they would approach the owners and ask them to cover the windows.. but instead they bring more attention (which the owners are thrilled) to PASTEL store. ”

“ There is nothing that any govt. agency can do to stop them harrasing ...Vaad Haznios is not a group affiliated with any Cong or Yeshiva in Willamsburgh or Boro Park or any other orthodox community.
Those vaad members are frum men and lets NOT forget what satmere rebbe said ..
FRUM stand for Feel Rishes Unvynig Mitzvahs...
They have no office or address where you can have those people brough to justice..
They have their meetings in the Mikveh and decide who is the next target ....
But not being associated or affiliated with any Mosdos i believe the Rabunim are very happy with their work because Keeven Deshoske applies here..You never see Der Blatt or Der Yid condemming their work ...
They publish their flyers at any printer and they demonstarte in front of the stores who violates their belief...USA is Freedom of SPEECH so there they GO..... ”

“ To quote the great Christopher Hitchens: "You are offended? I AM offended by you. I am offended by your barbarism, your caveman mentality, your support of rules that encourage repression of women, rape of children and complete ignorance of science" ”

“ Why are Jewish women out shopping in public to begin with, where they can be seen by men? This is not how a daughter of Israel should conduct herself. If she needs a dress she can phone the shop and her husband can pick up the dress. ”

“ This is a perfect example of how important education is. These bums are uneducated and are doctored to think one way and it’s disgusting.
One of my employees (Non Jewish) told me this morning, and I quote: “These people make the Taliban look good”

This non-sense action has to stop and someone with real authority has to speak up, it is out of hand. Are you telling me that there is not ONE Rabbi with a little brain that can stop this? Can start educating these people that we live in the USA and there is something called “The Law”?

These action only bring more and more anti-Semitism and it never ends well ”

“ "That is, when the Conservative temple members are not desecrating Shabbos, eating trayf, and celebrating "gay weddings", and otherwise ignoring normative Jewish practice"

Most of us Conservative Jews protect our kinder first and do not protect child molesters. Our Rabbonim are rarely in the news for any sexual misconduct. We keep Shabbos, Kosher and yes, some of us have gay children, but we love them and never throw them out of our homes for being gay. You all can take a lesson on family life and integrity from us. :) ”

“ So, in essence, what you are telling us is that there is no room for Torah and mitzvos in Williamsburg in particular or in the whole world in general these days.any more.

I am by no means a charedi Jew - in fact, many high-minded readers of VIN would not even consider me to be Jewish at all by their standards. But even *I*am repelled by the opinions expressed here by #94.

And if #94 published her remarks as some sort of Purim spiel they are very, very unfunny. ”

“ you have nerve.. 'judaism changed' ! it was christians, reform, consrevativeetc who shed de torah shbal peh (aka S'U)if ur jewish (de mother, grand etc) somewhere down de line observed all these halchos. along came guys like moshe mendelsheo etc, may his name be obliterated for ever and ever, and let movements like urs astray so much that an ignorant non believers like u have chutzpah to say otherway around ”

“ you keep shabbath with whats convinient. i can enumerate plenty of the taryag thatconservative 'keep.' by the way halachais derived from sanhedrin 'one who dont believe even 1 letter of de torah is not misinei is not bklall yisroel also see end of ramban sif parshes bo 'ein lo chelek betoras moshe ....' ”

“ satmar rebbe said no such thing, you low life ”

“ the owner were asked 1 politely ”

“ we all must go out and show support to this new Pastel store!
they have a few locations, I was at their Boro Park store on 13 ave by 41st and they have beautiful stuff!!!! ”

“ I have read and re-read your comment, Mendel, but I still don't know whether to laugh or to cry over your bigotry and stupidity in this matter.

How is your "daughter of Israel" to know what is available if she has to remain, locked up, at home? The infamous "asifa" banned the use of computer, so ordering over the internet is out. Why should she have to trust her husband's taste in female attire? It might have escaped your notice, Mendel, but even women have basic human rights - whether it suits your misogynistic way of life or not.

There used to be a contributor to VIN who nominated choice comments for what he called "the Annual Shmendrik Awards"; It's a shame he is no longer around because your contribution would sweep the board this year for sheer stupidity and prejudice.

Does you wife know about your opinions in this matter? It is far more probable that you still remain single and lonely at age 50, eking out a miserable and spiteful existence living in your mother's cellar and living off food stamps. ”
