Borough Park (usually spelled Boro Park by its residents), is a neighborhood in the southwestern part of the borough of Brooklyn, in New York City in the United States.
Borough Park is home to one of the largest Orthodox Jewish communities outside of Israel, with one of the largest concentrations of Jews in the United States and Orthodox traditions, rivaling many insular communities. Since the average number of children in Hasidic and Hareidi families is 6.72, Borough Park is experiencing sharp growth.] It is an economically diverse area, with rich, working class and poor people living side-by-side and going to the same schools and synagogues.
Its heart lies between 11th and 18th Avenues and 40th and 60th Streets. Borough Park is patrolled by the NYPD's 66th Precinct.

Greenpoint, Polish Neighborhood in Brooklyn to Frédéric Chopin
Greenpoint is the northernmost neighborhood in the New York City borough of Brooklyn, in the U.S. state of New York. It is bordered on the southwest by Williamsburg at the Bushwick inlet, on the southeast by the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway and East Williamsburg, on the north by Newtown Creek and Long Island City, Queens at the Pulaski Bridge, and on the west by the East River.
Originally farmland – many of the farm owners' family names, such as Meserole and Calyer, are current street names – the residential core of Greenpoint was built on parcels divided during the 19th century, with rope factories and lumber yards lining the East River to the west, while the northeastern section along the Newtown Creek through East Williamsburg became an industrial maritime area. It is now known for its large Polish immigrant and Polish-American community, and it is often referred to as Little Poland. )
Williamsburg is a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Brooklyn, bordering Greenpoint to the north; Bedford–Stuyvesant to the south; Bushwick, East Williamsburg, and Ridgewood, Queens to the east; and Fort Greene and the East River to the west. Part of Brooklyn Community Board 1, the neighborhood is served in the south by the NYPD's 90th Precinct[3] and in the north by the 94th Precinct.[4] In the City Council, the western and southern part of the neighborhood is represented by the 33rd District; and its eastern part, by the 34th District.[5][6] As of the 2010 United States Census, the neighborhood had a population of 32,926, an increase of 2.0% from the 32,269 enumerated in 2000.[7]
Williamsburg was, during the early 2000s, an influential hub of contemporary music like indie rock, and is attributed to be the place of origin of electroclash and had a large local hipster culture, a strong art community and vibrant nightlife. Thus, it also earned the nickname Little Berlin.[8][9] The area experiences a steady gentrification. Many ethnic groups have based enclaves within the neighborhood, including African Americans, Italians, Jews, Hispanics, Poles, Puerto Ricans and Dominicans.
New York City 10,000 Jews Against Israel U S Media Blackout
BRAKING: Twenty Thousands Orthodox Jews Protest Israel and Forced Draft Law, Brooklyn NY, June 11/17
BROOKLYN, N.Y., June 12, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Roughly 20,000 gathered together on Sunday, June 11th, at Brooklyn's Barclays Center to demonstrate against the state of Israel's policy of forcibly drafting religious Jews, and crushing any peaceful opposition with brutal police crackdowns and imprisonment. The gathering was organized by the Central Rabbinical Congress of the United States and Canada, and it was also headlined by an international delegation of Rabbinic leaders from countries including Israel, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Canada and Argentina. It also served as a kick-off for the international Let Our People Go campaign to raise awareness on the issue and to call for international intervention.
Rabbi David Niederman, Intergovernmental Liaison for the Central Rabbinical Congress, stated: Israel's policy violates our right as conscientious objectors in regard to military service. Religious Jews oppose to the creation of the State of Israel before the coming of Messiah, and they can't serve in its army. Additionally military is incompatible with the observance of Torah and Mitzvos (religious service), said Rabbi Niederman. International law under Section 18 of the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights demands for exemption of military service based on ones' sincerely held conscience. Unfortunately, it is a right that the Israeli government has withheld from our community.
20,000 Turn Out for Rally at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center Protesting Israel’s Forcible Military Draft and Persecution of Religious Jews
20,000 Turn Out for Rally at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center Protesting Israel’s Forcible Military Draft and Persecution of Religious Jews
Since the state's founding in 1948, yeshiva (religious seminary) students were exempted from military service. That exemption expired in 2014 and since then, the Israel Defense Forces has started to forcibly draft the Orthodox community. The Let Our People Go campaign was created in order to pressure the Israeli government to rescind the new draft law. It is nearly impossible to remain an observant Jew in the Israeli military, said Samuel Stern, of Let Our People Go. The early Zionist leaders created the IDF not only as a means of self-defense but also as a means to indoctrinate new citizens with a nationalistic way of thinking… that's not what Judaism is about.
The past several months has seen a drastic increase in violence as the Israeli government has stepped up efforts to draft the religious community. Peaceful protests have been broken up with tear gas and batons; men, women, and children have been arrested on false charges; and in May, 28 employees of an Orthodox newspaper were arrested for publishing content that was critical of the IDF's drafting policy.
We want the international community to recognize our right to refuse military service and to exert pressure on the Israeli government to grant our brothers and sisters the most basic freedoms, said Niederman. Israel claims that it is the only democracy in the Middle East, but terrorizing innocent citizens because they don't want to fight in the army is not behavior that one would expect from a democracy.
Various speakers and Rabbinic leaders called upon the international community to hold Israel accountable for its actions and to pressure them to restore freedom of expression and peaceful assembly for its religious citizens, something that the international Jewish community has long been advocating for.
One of the rally's speakers, Rabbi Yakov Shapiro of Bayswater, NY, explained the event's purpose: Ben Gurion called the Israeli army a 'melting pot.' He said it was designed to – quote – 'clean, refine and purify' the Jews of their 'foreign garbage'; to 'educate' them and provide them 'cultural elevation.' Sounds more like a rehab than an army. Indeed it is! Shapiro concluded with a defiant message: What the IDF wants to rehabilitate us from, we would give our lives to retain.
America needs Jews just like you!! UN General Assembly, New York City, September 27th, '18.
Thousands of members of New York’s Orthodox Jewish community, organized by the Rabbinical Alliance of the USA, protest against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who addressed the UN General Assembly I'm September 27th '18. The demonstration held in Dag Hammarskjold Plaza in Manhattan, 47th Street between 1st and 2nd Avenues, Thursday September 27 at 5:00 PM.
Protesters intend to focus on the fact that since the passing of a 2014 law, the Israeli government has been forcing Orthodox Jewish young men to serve in its army. Recently, they have been enforcing the laws more strictly, and cracking down violently on anyone who speaks out. Those who refuse to comply with the draft, due to their religious convictions, as well as those who protest against the law,are treated brutally. Hundreds of boys and even girls have been thrown into prison.
“We are going to send a message to the United Nations that Benjamin Netanyahu does not represent the Jewish people or the Jewish religion,” said Rabbi Aron Jacobowitz, a spokesman for the group. “According to the Jewish religion Jews are forbidden to create a sovereign state or wage wars against other nations,therefore the State of Israel is in total violation of Judaism. Authentic Jewry never recognized the State of Israel and therefore refuse to serve in the Israeli army”
“Anti-Zionist Jews, as conscientious objectors, deserve the right to be exempt from service in the Israeli army, as set down in UN Commission on Human Rights resolution 1998/77.
“The recent forced military draft of religious Jews against their religious convictions is a violation of the freedom of religion of these communities, and the cruel oppression of protesters is a violation of the universal freedom of speech. This is another stage in their on going efforts to force the remaining authentic Jews to take part in their criminal movement. Their intent is to uproot religious Judaism.
“All that our communities in the Holy Land want is to live in peace with their non-Jewish neighbors and practice and preserve the Jewish religion, as we did prior to the establishment of this political State of Israel. We do not desire power or domination.
“The Zionist movement came to execute a transformation of Judaism from a religion to nationalism, therefore the Zionist state’s claim to be a “Jewish” state is the worst kind of identity theft. The State of Israel is not Jewish at all, and its ongoing actions do not represent world Jewry. The ongoing crimes committed by the state against the Orthodox community prove once again that they don’t represent the religious Jews living in the Holy Land, let alone those around the world.”
Rabbinical Alliance of the United States and Canada is an umbrella organization uniting dozens of congregations with the goal of strengthening Judaism in Jewish communities around the world.

What is Hasidic Judaism? A Brief History of the Movement
What is Hasidic Judaism? Watch our new explainer video to learn the history of the Hasidic movement, from the Ba’al Shem Tov to creating an distinct community of mystical and observant Jews.
The Hasidic movement was formed in the mid 1800s by Jewish mystics in Eastern Europe, most notably the Ba’al Shem Tov, who was a traveled Kabbalistic, providing spiritual advice to those he met. He introduced mystic rituals where everything became spiritual. His students (i.e. Dov Ber) would later create the movement of Hasidism. But many Jews at that time were opposed to this new emerging movement. The Hasids were prayer enthusiasts. When they prayed, they would jump, clap, somersault, and even cry.
Despite opposition, the Hasidim continued to grow, engulfing most of Eastern Europe. They became part of the community, by serving as spiritual advisers, koshering meats, attending to the ill and deceased, and more. They continued to thrive until the persecution of Jews in the Soviet Union and World War II either killed them or drove them to seek refuge elsewhere. Some Hasids that escaped, traveled to America and began the rival of the movement which we see today most prominently on the streets of Brooklyn, New York.

Jews Protest IDF Annual Gala NYC 03/15/16
Orthodox Jews Denounced Israeli Army Fundraising Dinner in New York.
Representatives of anti-Zionist Jewish communities of greater New York, organized by Neturei Karta International, demonstrated in front of the Waldorf Astoria during the Israel Defense Force [IDF] Annual fundraising Gala, on Tuesday, March 15, at 301 Park Ave., NYC.
Over the past two years, the Israeli government has attempted to force Orthodox Jews to serve in their army. Orthodox communities have responded with demonstrations in opposition to this all over the world. In the State of Israel itself, Jews have been beaten and have served time in jail for refusing to register at the induction office.
As Jews who believe in the Torah, we object to the very existence of the State of Israel. When the Zionist movement first arose over one hundred years ago, all the major rabbis warned that it was against the Torah and would only bring danger and trouble for the Jewish people. The Torah forbids Jews to have their own state, fight wars or take the land of another people.
Therefore, Torah true Jews, with the help of the Almighty, will never support and certainly not serve in the Israeli army, an entity which carries out all these sins.
Through the years of the state’s existence, the army has always been a vehicle to oppress the Palestinian people and fuel the fires of conflict in the Middle East.
The very name “Israel Defense Force” is deliberately misleading. They are not there to defend anyone. They initiate conflicts, dominate and occupy, placing Jews and non-Jews alike in danger. And they do not represent “Israel”, the Jewish people, whose name they stole. They formant and exacerbate anti-Semitism throughout the world.
The fact that the IDF holds a fundraising dinner throughout the United States shows that they are dependent on American Jews for their moral support. The money is secondary. Does any other army make an appeal for money in the US? They need American Jews to affirm their support for Zionism and for the army. And so we’re here to speak for the large communities of Orthodox Jews in America who say no! We do not support the Israeli army!

USA: NEW YORK CITY: WJC IDENTIFIES LOOTED JEWISH BOOKS
English/Nat
In an effort to expand Holocaust restitution efforts, the World Jewish Congress has identified 186 thousand books, once looted from Jews or Jewish institutions, that are currently held by a number of Austrian libraries.
Speaking in New York on Thursday, the director of the WJC, Elan Steinberg, said the books and their previous owners were well-documented by the Austrian government.
Steinberg says the books must be returned to the Jewish people.
Searching through Austrian state documents dating back to 1951, Elan Steinberg of the World Jewish Congress has stumbled upon yet another group of artefacts looted from Jews during WWII -- books, 186 thousand of them.
The books were labelled by category -- from philosophy to sport to Judaism -- and showed what institution they were from.
Steinberg says some had great value.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
They stole cultural property in general and that meant books. They stole from libraries, from Jewish institutions, from Jewish individuals, anywhere they could seize it from. And as it happened, we came across the documents what the Austrian government did with some 186 thousand books that were identified as having been looted from Jewish institutions or individual Jews. And the answer is, they kept it.
SUPER CAPTION: Elan Steinberg, Director, World Jewish Congress
After being taken from Jews or Jewish institutions, the books were given to the Austrian national library, university libraries, the Chancellor's library, and even the Albertina Museum -- after World War II.
Steinberg is urging the Austrian government to return the books to the Jewish people or to Jewish institutions.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
What the Austrian government said was that these books, the owners cannot be identified. Well, they can't be identified in most cases because they're dead. Or the institution, the school or cultural association, no longer exists. But the thought that Germany or Austria -- the homeland of Hitler and Eichmann's homeland -- would inherit the property of the people they murdered -- is inconceivable.
SUPER CAPTION: Elan Steinberg, Director, World Jewish Congress
Austria, unlike Germany, has never paid reparations to Holocaust survivors.
But, after doing research in the U-S National Archives, the WJC found a 1953 U-S State Department report showing that, in today's value, the assets looted from the Jews in Austria in WWII would be worth in excess of 10 billion dollars.
These documents from 1951 show the books were almost entirely Jewish owned.
