National Review & Bias Against The Chasidic Community: Yes, Jewish Lives Matter

Like mainstream newspapers, Zachary Evans’s article recycled many tropes about Chassidim. More concerning is National Review’s institutional response.

Having spent lots of time, and having many friends, in the Chassidic community, I can tell you that this article nails it (although I have never met a Chasid who “hates the IDF”). Unfortunately, the issue with the National Review proves, again, that Jews can be as unwelcome on the right as we are on the left, although Antisemitism is becoming far more common, and accepted, on the left.

“What does bloc voting have to do with antisemitism? Why is it even in the article?
Someone who knew the community might have written an actual description of Haredi life: The degree to which violent crime falls to near-zero in Chassidic neighborhoods, property values shoot up when they move in, tax rolls are filled (every Chassidic kid enrolled in a Yeshiva rather than public school saves the state about $25,000), and communal services such as ambulance corps (available to all) flourish. Evans might have pointed out that Chassidim in Kiryas Yoel (an all-Chassidic town) make perfectly average incomes, despite a near common-consensus by outsiders to the contrary.”

Pride And Anxiety: 23 American Jews on choosing to wear their Jewishness

American Jews talk about wearing their Jewishness, as a response to rising anti-Semitism.

I normally wouldn’t post something form the Forward. Honestly, I believe that they are usually more a part of the problem than the solution. This article really resonated with me though. I asked my parents for my first “Chai” when I was about 12. Then I asked for a Magen David. The reason was that the chain on the Chai was too long and people couldn’t see it. Older people warned me, a kid, not to wear it because they came from the generation that was taught that your Jewishness was “private.” Except my dad, a WWII vet, a guy who grew up dirt poor during the depression, in Brooklyn- ALWAYS sore his Chai, every day of his life, and never cared who saw it. My family was also very close to two Survivors who lost everything in the Shoah. They had numbers tattooed on their arms. They had no choice in whether they had to “wear” their Jewishness.

That was almost 40 years ago. A few years ago, I bought a hipper looking Magen David. It mostly sat in a drawer. Lately I’ve been wearing it, very visibly, more. A lot more. I have NEVER shied away from expressing my Jewishness in many ways over the years. That includes walking through the streets of Paris with a kippah on after I was warned not to. If people don’t like it: TOO BAD. I’ve been called a “heeb,” a “kike,” an “f’ing Jew,” and more and have been in several “unpleasant” situations. I don’t care. Am Yisrael Chai baby. Being scared and appeasing them NEVER has worked, won’t work now, and will never work. Be Jewish, be proud, never ever be afraid, be brave, trust in Hashem, and never, ever, no matter what, hide who we are.

When Jews are under violent attack for building a home in this land, it repudiates the American promise.

Insightful piece by David French on the insidious nature of rising antisemitism and the promise of America. Please share it.

"I never thought I’d see the day when dear friends plotted ways to be less “visibly Jewish” before walking onto a subway car, going to the grocery store, or just playing in the park. I never thought I’d see the day when random street attacks on Jews were so common that activists and journalists could create security camera compilations of Jews being beaten in the streets. This is a grave breach of the American promise. It’s a grave assault on America’s most fundamental values. "
