New York's Mayor Bill de Blasio made a trip last night to New Square, the Skvere hasidic village in Rockland County, about an hour north of the city, to attend the wedding of the Skvere Rebbe David Twersky's son. This is the same New Square where dissident Aron Rottenberg and his family were almost killed by an arsonist who was in the Rebbe's employ, a village where illegal gender segregation is mandated and enforced on public sidewalks, where illegal restricted covenants govern property sales and transfers and where illegal dangerous construction is epidemic.

New York's Mayor Bill de Blasio made a trip last night to New Square, the Skvere hasidic village in Rockland County, about an hour north of the city, to attend the wedding of the Skvere Rebbe David Twersky's son.
This is the same New Square where dissident Aron Rottenberg and his family were almost killed by an arsonist who was in the Rebbe's employ, a village where illegal gender segregation is mandated and enforced on public sidewalks, where illegal restricted covenants govern property sales and transfers, where dangerous illegal construction is epidemic, and where several men very close to the Rebbe stole millions from the federal government to benefit Skvere and got caught.
This is a village in which the sole and only religious leader completely and absolutely controls the village government, in part through illegal methods.
And Bill de Blasio went there, and kissed that man's hand.
JP Updates has pictures and videos, including one of de Blasio kissing the Skvere Rebbe's hand – corruption, New York style.
