"#OJPACData from the U.S. Census compared employment among men ages 20-64 in New York City, in the Hasidic enclave Kiryas Joel, and statewide. At 75%, Kiryas Joel outperformed the Bronx’s 68.7% but was slightly below the statewide 76.8% and Queens’s 79.7%"
"OJPAC rightly emphasized that Hasidic families skew younger and larger than average, which distorts comparisons."

This data set flies in the face of the lies, innuendo and generalizations that anti-Hasidic bigots spread against Hasidim.
#YeshivasWork whether @brianmrosenthal, @errollouis and @RJackson_NYC like it or not.

The @JCRCNY joins the @ADL in condemning the tone of @nytimes articles against Hasidim. In the past, criticism would come largely from us, @AgudahNews and @UnitedJewish. However, leaders in the broader Jewish community are seeing the problem and are speaking up.

"Hasidim don't work."
"Hasidim work but earn little because they are undereducated."
"Hasidim earn BIG bucks but they are 'fake poor' because it's a cash economy."
"Hasidim are poor because they have large families"
Some Facebook pages have all 4 claims in the same post!

Important thread from @LizMair highlights the mistreatment many Orthodox Jews face every day.
Since this is the third time in a row that I’ve witnessed major anti-Semitic behavior from @JFKairport staff— especially but not only TSA— I’m going on a rant about it.

AUDIO! ADMISSION by @nmoster, founder of anti-Hasidic hate group @yaffedorg: Corporal punishment "is not sanctioned by the Yeshiva. It's not Yeshiva policy that we should beat up kids." Yet, a few allegations were presented by @elizashapiro @brianmrosenthal as Yeshiva policy.

In a sick twist, @byjayroot distinguishes Modern Orthodox Jews from Hasidim but in the same article turns to a MO Jew who piles on with a negatively broad and misleading comment about Hasidism.
"Nearly half of all NYC public school graduates who head to local community colleges are forced into remedial classes to survive their first semester." Those are students who A) graduate high school and B) attend college. @BloomfieldDavid @errollouis

The @elizashapiro and @brianmrosenthal Dossier Against Hasidim: High on Bigotry; Low on Journalism (An Act Not Done by the Times to African Americans, Latinos or Muslims)

According to @byjayroot, Hasidic Yeshivas are "setting some [students] back for life." This is what he claims on a community with a very high marriage rate; very low violent crime rate, and employment levels among Men similar to the rest of society. @marclacey @AJCCEO
