Subject: RE: BS: Religious Discrimination in Suffern, NY
I think that what we should make clear is the the situation Wolfgang is referring to is NOT the Shabbos House in Suffern. It is a totally different issue in Airmont which is another village in the Town of Ramapo with an altogether different zoning code than Suffern. It is for a large post-graduate Rabbinnical Seminary with housing being built on Campus for married students and faculty. There is also a similar facility proposed for the village of New Hempstead as well which is generating controversy. If you folks want to widen the discussion to encompass the entire spectrum of conflict between the Orthodox Jewish community and the local villages in Rockland County I am amenable to that as well. But let us not confuse the Shabbos House issue with the other major construction projects.
