At about 9:30 p.m., the crowd gathered as an unorganized protest about a conflict within the community, police said.
The Clarkstown and Spring Valley police departments as well as Rockland County Sheriff’s Department also responded to the scene to assist with crowd and traffic control.
The crowd eventually dispersed. No property damage or injuries was reported.
No arrests were made as a result of the incident.
A YouTube video was posted online from the protest see below
What was the protest about?
Of course it was just a matter of time. Just wait and see what’s coming down the road.
Don’t call is a “Mob” if it is merely a gathering of 500 orderly, civilized people exercising their right to assembly
Its about time to stop the terror in New Square! lats stand behind the ppl ho r ready to stand up!
There is a constant conflict between the older Bochirim which are no longer in Yeshiva just working boys, which are using the Yeshiva building situated next to the main shul on Shabbos while the Rebbe is Davening and doing the Tish. The organizers tried locking down the building several times and many attempts have already been foiled. This time some people allegedly broke into the building to let these Bochirim congress and farbreng during the Shabbos. The Mob consists of some very extreme bochirim which have been carrying out a lot of the recent holy acts of disruption on behalf of restoring order and rule to the Shtetel. Previous protest have included vandalizing cars and damaging peoples property.. nor the village or the Rebbes house has taken any responsibility for this thus far.
nobody has work in the morning?
rabbousya whats going on???? bittul torah!
What a chilul Hashem. Divrei Chachmim B’nachas Nishmoim. Enough said.
The problem their is, the Buchrim are always open for action….
We need to give them some sports other wise you won’t have control on them
I dont know whose right ,,,, but i do know that people who are true yiras hashem do not accomplish things through terror ……
Since it seems you have all the details. Why don’t you try explaining to how the dayanim that have such control over the buildings have no control over the Bochurim. Or maybe they sent the Bochurim to protest. In either case I think you will have an extremely hard task explaining to normal people how young unruly Bochurim screaming profane comments in front of someone’s house with woman and young children in there, have been deemed the appropriate messengers to deliver this important message. Or maybe this is a way to use and humiliate other people to advance some unjust cause.
look where this happened: “at the intersection of Bush Lane and Clinton Lane.”
maybe the street names were the cause of the fight.
so the democrats were on clinton lane while the republicans stood on bush lane.
i’m just wonderint if the democrats are the ones who want liberalism or communism?
nobody made a chillul hashem, beside the OISVURF who took the clip, & posted it everywere.
I would like to know if one of this so called Askunim have ever tried to help these Bucherim with Shidduchem jobs etc, I wonder if the Deiyonim in Square believe that the problem of drop-outs in New Square will disappear after this building is being locked down.
They are investing so much money and efforts to lock this building, like this is the biggest problem in New Square right now, their problem is not this building, the just hate these Bucherim and they will do everything in their power to terrorize them, that’s why they never tried to negotiate with the Bucherim or to help them.
This is the second protest they did one on motzy shabbos too.
is this a way of teaching vahavta l,reiacaha k,amoicha?
So wait, the extremists are bullying the extremists so the extremists are protesting the extremists? Uh, whatever.
Most of the posters here on VIN have never ever visited the town, how by seeing a clip decide who’s right or wrong decide how much they did actually invest in those buchrim etc. I don’t live there, but I could understand that having buchrim in my house being mechallel shaabes is painful and needs to be locked down, this yeshiva belongs to the village of new square and they have the right to close it down, this is a shtetel like every shtetel in the old times where a ruv has the power of a ruv , and YES he may make TAKUNES and he can punish if you don’t listen to him, he’s aloud to have is way of life and if you don’t like it leave the shtetel, they built it on a philosophy and he may stick with his rules, I don’t think this is debatable in any way. Please give it some real thought
Where are their parents? these kids need to be under curfew and not let out of the house past 10PM
it”s better for them to hang around in square then in a theater or other not kosher places ,in every yiddish city there is some shul or yeshvia were those souls can hang around .it”s not fair that it shoult”nt be in the entire city such a corner,put there some cameras to observe there behavior &thats; it.

The only way we will minimize drop outs is by being flexible and giving them a purpose and respect.
From experience I can tell you that sometimes it works to save a troubled soul but by being tough and heavy you push them further away!
The building lock down is not to help the d/o, it is to protect the general population from the “nisyonos” that this hangout presents. There is no room for debate this “Shtetel” has a purpose and all the sweat and energy will not go down the sewer just for a few outcasts.
From what I gather it is a dorm for bochurim that are students of the yeshivah. However these guys are in their 30’s and don’t belong there to begin with.
Sorry MP. These buchirim are well taken care off to the best possible. and they even DO have a place to gather. The simple reason of closing the yeshiva building is to protect our children. The percentage of drop outs rised sky high since these leidig geiers do there gatherings there and it includes even little yeshiva ktana buchirim.
It’s for our children. It must have been done, no question. and who is responsible for the rochniyes of our shtetel if not the dayen and his shlichim?
Maybe you could have solved it better???
Every self respecting civilization that values it’s identity and takes itself seriously will at some point be confronted with the need to make hard decisions and draw a line in the sand. The leadership of the Chassidic communities all over the world are challenged by increasing divergences in the community, and the harsh reality of having no choice but to throw people out who do not belong. The community is not a democracy. For those individuals who find themselves trapped in a lifestyle they no longer wish to live….leave. For the leadership of the communities…stand up and lead. Toss out those whom threaten your way of life. They are a far greater threats than text messaging or the internet to the Chassidic communities. You would not tolerate poney tail wearing hippies in shul; don’t tolerate these bums. Toss em out.
