Hasidim Steal City No Parking Sign, Relocate It To The Front Of Their Sect's Yeshiva

“Two Jewish guys were moving the pole. I saw them resetting it. They had fresh cement and made it look professionally done.” And the city buses cannot pick up or drop off wheelchair-bound riders there because hasidim filled their illegal no parking area with parked hasidic school buses.

The New York Post exclusively reports:

…A furious bus driver says two Hasidic scofflaws have moved a city no-parking sign, cementing it into the sidewalk in front of a Williamsburg yeshiva — and squeezing out an MTA bus stop.

“There was no way I could park at the bus stop,” fumed Jamar Perry, who spied the sign heist on Franklin Avenue while driving the B48.

“Two Jewish guys were moving the pole. I saw them resetting it. They had fresh cement and made it look professionally done.”

The relocated sign stands about 30 feet from the bus stop on Franklin just north of Flushing Avenue. It prevents cars from parking in front of Yeshiva Bnos Ahavas Israel so the religious school’s yellow buses can illegally park at the curb.

But what burns Perry, 39 and a four-year MTA employee, is the obstacle course it has created for his riders. Because of the parked yellow buses, city buses can’t pull into the stop and instead must idle in the middle of the street.

“When you’re in the middle of the street, bicyclists and motorcycles fly through there,” he said. “You’re also unable to pick up a wheelchair at that stop because you can’t pull in. We’d have to nose in, and that’s against the law.”…

Tommy McNally, a safety officer from the Transit Workers Union, says sign-swapping “is a common problem in the Hasidic community.”

“These guys are just constantly moving these signs,” he said.

McNally conveyed Perry’s complaint to several city Department of Transportation officials but hasn’t received a return call.

A DOT spokesman declined to say whether the no-parking sign should be posted on Franklin Avenue but said an agency inspector will look at it…

Who said Haredim have no skills? They can carry, mix cement, do a profession job when required and can "organise" parking areas for buses.
Well done boys... Now go get a real job!

The attitude of entitlement is staggering. This is why there is antisemitism.

But no, it's the evil Zionists...

I guess the Charedi schools don't teach civics in Williamsburg either. "From vat I hefta loinen bout de Jepenese cahs?"

City buses never pull over by bus stop, they ALWAYS stop in middle of the street to pick up & discharge!

Ha Ha Ha-
"A real job?" That's chukos hagoyim! "Vut, vut....who says ve kent move d' signs? Who says?"

OMG....you can't make this stuff up!

Thank goodness for the Hasidim. Otherwise, what would the rest of the world base their Jewish stereotypes on?

[yakov]

A moron from a litvishe yeshiva did it on my block. I got a ticket when I parked there. The moron said he was trying to do chesed. So I told him to ask his rabbi. He said he did and one of them said it's ok, while the other one said that it's not. So he wasnt sure what to do in the future. What a moron.j

[bendinai]

Yakov...."moron" and "from a litvishe yeshiva" are redundant. Please edit your postings in the future. :)

report him, and your ticket will be dismissed

[Rockland Bob]

The Post reporter makes a subtle but strong point.

The same attitude of entitlement and otherness that leads to moving parking signs into city bus stops is the one that led to the police NOT being called when Leiby Kletzky was kidnapped and this likely caused his death.

It's time to wake up and take an accounting of the terrible price paid for this attitude.

[Yochanan Lavie]

I'm surprised that they could even read the signs and understand them. After all, they are in the unclean goysihe loshon known as "English."

[Sarek]

Lev. 69:3 "Thou shalt not park in front of a Yeshiva, for it is an abomination. And it is a mitzvah to move a no-parking sign to the Yeshiva. Those who do so will be fruitful and multiply.

This is nothing compared to some of the nonsense that goes on in Borough Park, the headquarters of the phony parking permit for those few people who do not have VAS license plates (e.g. "this vehicle is on official BSSP business").

Also, it is against the law to put garbage cans out on the curb except for a certain time period right before collection. Vus ken mir tiyen? I have an idea. Let's illegally erect a shed on either the sidewalk (Belzer, e.g.) or in the street itself (Klausenberger, e.g.) and put our cans there 24/7. Screw the other Jews and anyone else who needs the sidewalk to walk or the street to park!

Antisimitic article with not a shred of journalistic integrity
If this was a Muslim school, the article would have been about how smart the community members are for protecting their children and making sure the school bus can park close to the sidewalk.
Read it with out your selfjewhating blinders on and you'll see what I mean

[bendinai]

Tsvika55 - "If this was a Muslim school..."

Talk about "not a shred of...integrity." It ISN'T a Muslim school, it is a report on what actually happened. Are you defending their illegal actions because in your socially sick mind you feel that if a non-Jew had done it they would not have been called to task? The Post is filled day in and day out with articles about illegal acts committed by non-Jews; not in praise of their actions.

Before i write my actual comment:
It was wrong what they did they should go through the system contacting the DOT for any sign removal.

Now to my comment:

Headline in NY Post "Brooklyn HASID'S 'move' no parking sign'

A furious bus driver says two HASIDIC scofflaws have moved a city no-parking sign."

What is it with this junk NY post who feels they have to keep on stressing that HASIDIC people removed the sign?
isn't it enough the word YESHIVA is mentioned in article and all understands that it was done be HASIDIM?

The same junk newspaper the NY Post who is so obsessed with HASIDIM has an news item TODAY about how "Postal workers too scared to deliver mail in crime-ridden Brownsville,Brooklyn" and not one word mentioned that its a BLACK neighborhood.
Does anyone not see the ANTISEMITISM by the NY Post?
why dont they mention that postal workers are afraid of the BLACK neighborhood Brownsville where they fear for their life from BLACK people and therefore refuse to deliver mail?

EVERY frum neighborhood should boycott the NY Post not buying that paper.Lets request from the newsstand not to bring in the paper let us hurt them where it hurts.

SHAME on the NY Post
Shame on MICHAEL GARTLAND

[Barry]

Deremes, you again fail to understand. It is the hypocrisy of pretending to be upstanding and Godly whilst being caught doing the opposite which make Hassidim JUSTIFIABLE vulnerable to 'bad press'.

I referred earlier to the 'Woes of the Pharisees' which was authored by a Jew some 2000 years ago and which hurt ultra-orthodox Jews because they have a basis in fact (and are not just confined to ultra-orthodox Jews but every religious hypocrite including many Christians).

They taught the law but did not practice some of the most important parts of the law — justice, mercy, faithfulness to God. They obeyed the minutiae of the law such as titheing spices but not the real meat of the law. (Matt 23:23-24)

They presented an appearance of being 'clean' (self-restrained, not involved in carnal matters), yet they were dirty inside: they seethed with hidden worldly desires, carnality. They were full of greed and self-indulgence. (Matt 23:25-26)

They exhibited themselves as righteous on account of being scrupulous keepers of the law, but were in fact not righteous: their mask of righteousness hid a secret inner world of ungodly thoughts and feelings. They were full of wickedness. They were like whitewashed tombs, beautiful on the outside, but full of dead men's bones. (Matt 23:27-28)

It is as if Matisyahu of Kfar Nachum lived in Williamsburg and was writing about the Teitelbaums. The 'in your face' Hassidic dress, the long beards and piyos exhibit an outer appearance of piousness humility and acceptance of poverty when in fact this is just a mask to hide that they are dirty inside: they seeth with hidden worldly desires, and carnality. They were full of greed and self-indulgence. It is that hypocrisy that the media are justified in reporting.

People cannot help being black but being Hassidic is an ideological statement of religious piety and the Press are entitled to mock the hypocrisy

[jancsibacsi]

Barry--Beutifull piece you wrote,but do you relly expect deremes to understand the obvious he is blind to reality,reality meaning that they just dont want to hear about how corrupt hassidism is.

[Wigmore]

Sheker,

If I understand you correctly, you do not deny the lawbreaking by your "friends" or the truthfulness of the article. Instead, you claim that the newspaper is antisemitic by publicizing the story.

There's a very simple solution: don't break the law and you won't have to worry about bad publicity.

What really upsets you is that the Post--unlike the family of Weberman's victim--will not be intimidated by chasidic gangsters.

("No Reply", The Beatles)

This happened once before
Right at Yeshiva door
No parking
I could do it yesterday
But the sign does now convey it’s wrong
I saw the sign
I saw the sign
Yesterday it wasn’t there
But now I must beware a ticket

I called the DOT
They said it must be me
That’s a lie
Cause I know where it’s been
Just like my old foreskin, it’s gone
I nearly died
I nearly died
I parked into the street
This sign it was escheat, but wrongly

If I were civilized, I’d realize that I
Wasn’t allowed just because I’m a rabbi
It’s just one more of the lies that I
Heard before that I must believe or die

I called the DOT
They said it must be me
That’s a lie
Cause I know where it’s been
Just like my old foreskin, it’s gone
I nearly died
I nearly died
I parked into the street
This sign it was escheat, but wrongly

[Deremes]

Wigmore, Correct,I do not deny the lawbreaking by my "friends" or the truthfulness of the article.And i do NOT claim that the newspaper is antisemitic by PUBLICIZING the story.

Gee, too many big words to try to comprehend, bubbeh?. Too bad, so sad. Read. Still too hard to assimilate the message therein, lad?. Here is Barry's point in two, very short, words: Haredi hypocrisy.

Now go defend a Haredi Pedophile, you are due for one of those apology posts.
