Montreal, Canada - There will be no referendum on whether a Hasidic sect in the Plateau Mont Royal borough should be given the green light for a $400,000 project to renovate its synagogue at 5363 Hutchison St., in the midst of a residential neighbourhood.

Only 81 local residents signed a registry at the borough council headquarters to oppose the Gate David of Bobov project, far short of the 133 signatures required to force a referendum.

The council approved the project Sept. 2.

It's good to hear that beside some individuals who are driven by a hateful agenda, the [general] population has a sense of fairness. The most vocal opponents to the expansion of the Bobov Shul do not even live in the immediate vicinity.

As I said [the] last time this silly question came up. "The Yiddishe"! Because the anti-Semites do not make any distinctions between the [silly/vicious] nat. K. and the most fervent Zionist (yo, the tziyoinem)! Or a Ehrliche Yid and L"H a Geshmadter (no not a Geshmacker) Yid! They want to (and have [significantly] succeeded) put us in one place! And we ALL know where that is!!!
