Our Own Worst Enemies: Sowing Jewish Fear in Teaneck By Doron Hindin | May 27, 2021 Last Shabbat, Jews were scared in Teaneck. If we adequately take stock and resolve to be stronger in the future, we can mend our missteps and lead in the struggle across America for Jewish identity, Jewish security, and shared U.S.-Israel values. About 250 vehemently anti-Israel protesters demonstrated in our town on the Teaneck Municipal Green on Shabbat afternoon. With Israeli and American flags in hand, I arrived at the demonstration at 2:15 p.m., along with Miriam Rapaport-Hindin, our children, and three others. We were unsure of where to stand until a police officer kindly directed us to the south lawn, which was safely arranged to accommodate the pro-Israel counter demonstration. One other pro-Israel demonstrator was already there, a righteous Christian from New York who explained that “as the Jews of Teaneck are observing Shabbat, I’m standing up for them to ensure that what happened in New York City this week doesn’t happen here” (@lukemoon1).
