The mourning period is over. It’s time to get back to the issues of great importance, and Jew hating seems to be the top of the list for Jersey City Board of Education Trustee Joan Terrell. Terrall made her despicable comments in response to a column published on InsiderNJ called “Faith and hope in face of Hate”.

A sea of blue is expected Tuesday on Bergen Avenue in Jersey City as fallen Detective Joseph Seals is laid to rest during a private funeral. The solemn ceremony takes place at 11 a.m. at St. Aeden’s Church. Seals, a 40-year-old Jersey City native, is survived by his wife and five children. They joined thousands of mourners at Monday’s wake at the McLaughlin Funeral Home.

He is credited with taking back hundreds of illegal guns. (AP)

Highly credible sources tell YWN that investigators are now looking at a shooting incident of a Jewish-owned vehicle two weeks ago in connection with the terror attack in Jersey City. The incident in question occurred on Route 1 and 9 exactly one week before the attack, when a Hasidic man – who happens to be a Misaskim Volunteer – noticed a U-haul van driving close to him in the area of Newark Airport. Suddenly, the Jewish driver heard a smash and saw his passenger side window shattered. He figured something was thrown at his vehicle or a stone had jumped up from the highway. The U-haul exited the highway at the next exit, and the driver never reported the incident.

A new bail law goes into effect on January 1 in New York. It will eliminate pretrial detention and cash bail as an option in an estimated 90 percent of arrests. For the remaining cases, judges will maintain the option of setting cash bail.

Under New York’s new bail laws, effective January 1st, judges will not be able to set bail on any of the following crimes.

Hundreds of people flocked to the levaya on Sunday night of R’ Yitzchok Meir Weiss, z’l, a Bnei Brak resident who suffered a heart attack and passed away while sitting shiva for his baby son who was niftar from crib death on Thursday. R’ Weiss and his wife were married for three years before they finally were zocheh to their firstborn son, Yisrael, z’l. On Thursday, 5-month-old Yisrael was niftar and in a shockingly heartrending double tragedy, R’ Weiss collapsed at the shiva and was niftar three days after his son. Shimon Weiss, the brother-in-law of Yitzchak Meir, z’l, was interviewed on Reshet B on Monday morning. “The tza’ar consumed him but we didn’t see it.

A growing list of Republican officials have stepped up in recent days to condemn hateful and antisemtic statements made by GOP members against the Orthodox Jewish community in Jackson Township, New Jersey. But so far no action has been taken to remove party members from their posts.

Two 17-year old yeshivah bochurim in Be’er Sheva were viciously attacked and savagely beaten without any provocation whatsoever by four Bedouin youths in a pizza shop last week, a Mako report said on Sunday. Last week, the two boys innocently entered a pizza shop next to their yeshivah to eat supper, not knowing that their evening would turn into a nightmare that would rock the southern city. “Suddenly, four Bedouins came in,” one of the teenagers said. “Without any reason whatsoever, they began lynching us.” “One of them punched me in the chest and shoulder.
