The normally suspicious and insular Jewish Orthodox communities in the New York metropolitan area are being encouraged to overcome their distrust of outsiders to fill out the 2020 Federal Census forms so that these welfare-dependent communities can receive even more benefits:
Every ten years, local municipalities and states must be counted in order to proportion representatives. Since then, every level and type of government assistance has been based on the Census. When the census numbers come out, those are the numbers that the government has to abide by when they appropriate: members of Congress, Section 8 Housing Vouchers, Head Start programs, food stamps, Medicaid, Medicare, Title I, and almost any other program.
Everything from affordable housing to welfare is determined by the census. One very important such service is the Child Care Block Grant which allows so many of our Yeshivas to stay afloat.
So why should I care? How will it impact me? Even if the impact is not clear and tangible to you at first glance, it truly influences you and our community. If your child requires a Head Start program or if you require a Section 8 Voucher or any type of government assistance, all of those means of support are predicated on the actual census.
Imagine, if Boro Park reported near 100% in the census how many more Section 8 Vouchers we could receive, how many more families we could keep together. If you are not counted, there is no way governments can include you and your whole community.
Yes, our City has less than ⅔ reporting for the census, but our community is even more under reported. When the census was taken in 2010 less than 50% of Boro Park filled it out, at the time the lowest reporting percentage from any neighborhood in the entire City.
Currently, the Boro Park community is the second lowest at 43%. Other Jewish communities are not much better. Experts say for every person who doesn’t fill out the census, social services for that area are reduced by more than $1,000. That means that every single person in our community that does not fill out the census is responsible for those in our community who need government assistance but couldn’t receive it.
In Boro Park, where our communities and institutions are growing immensely, Bli Ayin Harah, people are still suffering to make ends meet.
It may not be you or your relatives, but every person in our community knows at least one person, from Shul or Yeshiva or even work, who is struggling: struggling to pay rent, to buy food, to pay tuition.
Regardless of how you feel about the state’s responsibility to the needy, these systems exist, and we would be fools not to take part in them. An integral part of that participation is the census.
For those who feel our community is not given the amount of representation in government we deserve, the census is the one way to solve your problems. The representatives of our community certainly do a good job and stand for our values B”H, but fact-is-fact the more numbers you have in the legislature the more power you have. If we would respond more, we would have more representatives in all levels of government representing our neighborhood in which we reside.
In other words, Boro Park could have their own City Council Member, along with Midwood and Flatbush. This has nothing to do with partisan politics. This is just simple arithmetic.
We kvetch so much but we just don’t get it: when it comes to being proactive, we fall down on the job. Kvetching gets you nowhere unless it is followed by tangible action. Everyone must internalize this message.
I quite literally cannot emphasize this enough: this is a once in ten-year opportunity. If the last few months of upheaval have not been the wakeup call that we need to do all we can to make our voices heard as much as possible then we must be deaf, blind, and ignorant. I urge everyone to stop what you’re doing and call 1-800-923-8282 or go to https://my2020census.gov/ and respond to the census. You have until September 30th, 2020 to do so.
One of the dirty little secrets of the Orthodox communities in America is how dependent they are on the welfare system.
Orthodox Jews have very large families, but the able-bodied fathers do not work — they want to be able to sit around all day studying the Talmud and their tax-payer supported yeshiva.
And because of the high incidence of genetic disorders among Jews, many of their children have expensive medical conditions that would bankrupt normal, working class families.
So a family of, say, eight qualifies for every kind of public hand-out available, from subsidized house and private Jewish schooling, to monthly cash allowances, free medical care, and even free cell phones.
In fact, a “disproportionate” number of Orthodox Jewish families are on some sort of welfare than Black families in New Jersey, according to one investigation of massive welfare fraud.
And while Jews will tell you that welfare fraud among the Orthodox is an antisemitic “smear”, the numbers speak for themselves — and the levels of fraud in these communities is tantamount to organized crime.
Orthodox Jews are masters at the concept of “unreported income” and they know how to hide it — whether it’s a million dollar corporation, large inheritances, or under-the-table cash from the network of sayanim at their local synagogue or Jewish Community Center.
One prosecutor in New Jersey observed this about a typical Orthodox welfare family:
You have a family or six or seven or eight, somebody is paying the mortgage, somebody is paying the taxes, they have two cars in the driveway, they’ve got food for all the kids … and they’re reporting their total income at $10,000. You have to ask — what is going on here?
And going after welfare fraud in these Jewish communities is a political minefield, as virtually everyone accused of fraud is the child or grandchild of a “Holocaust survivor” who “doesn’t understand the complex rules” of welfare.
We are all told how much smarter Jews are than the rest of us mere mortals, yet they can’t figure out how to avoid welfare fraud — at much higher rates than their often Black neighbors.
And if they all fill out their 2020 Census forms, even more free cash will flow into these “needy” neighborhoods.
Its these same ortho Jews that run the Khosher Tax scam. What a people they have become. Deuteronomy 28:37
37 You will become an object of horror, scorn, and ridicule among all the nations to which the LORD will drive you. 38 You will sow much seed in the field but harvest little, because the locusts …
Today they do not even sow seed just live off others.
Today’s Jews are not Israelites, never were, and have nothing to do with Deuteronomy. These Jews have never been under The Law. This is the greatest lie Jews ever told–that they are Israelites and God’s Chosen. How do you not know this by now?
The smartest people on the face of the planet are living large at the expense of others….I have to no problem with the safety need to this government socialist welfare system that only benefit those that contribute nothing to society is legal plundering plain and simple. Because I lived in New York the census is also bombarding me with messages to fill out the form so that my community can receive the billions of federal aid money…..blablablablabla…..I got a great story to tell about the fraud and corruption in New York, just wait a minute the trash-cake is coming.

“Michael Kadar, 19, has been indicted for hate crimes connected to threats against Jewish community centers, as well as threatening the Israeli embassy and cyberstalking, the U.S. Justice Department said on Wednesday.
Kadar is awaiting trial in Israel, where he was arrested last year. U.S. and Israeli authorities have previously charged him with making thousands of threats, including to airports, schools and Jewish centers, in the United States in 2016 and early 2017.”

My comment shown above is the 2nd part. The 1st part is in my comment below. They became jumbled when submitting.
Jewry will thereby also obtain more justification to obtain more Homeland Security grants. The links below apply to the “Federal” level. There are also Homeland Security types of grants made separately by each and every of the 50 individual states, plus D.C.
[This has several links and will be two or more comments].

[Jan 2, 2012] “Jewish groups get most money from federal security grants”
[2009] “In an event announcing $1.7 billion in Department of Homeland Security grants, Napolitano noted that 63 percent of nonprofit grant recipients were “affiliated with Jewish organizations.”
—
[2010] “The following year, according to the Jewish Federations of North America, that number grew. In 2010, 94 percent of the department’s nonprofit security funding went to Jewish groups that are, in the words of the Department of Homeland Security, “at high risk of terrorist attack.”

June 16th, 2015:
“Today, the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America, the nation’s largest Orthodox Jewish umbrella organization, applauded the U.S. Senate Appropriations Subcommittee for Homeland Security for approving a proposal to increase the funding allocation for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) to $25 million for Fiscal Year 2016.
The Orthodox Union was among the groups that spearheaded the creation of the NSGP in 2005 to assist synagogues, day schools and other nonprofits in the Jewish community and beyond to make their buildings more secure in the face of possible attacks. The NSGP has delivered more than $130 million to Jewish community institutions since its inception. In recent years, the annual funding level for the NSGP has been decreased; this year it was funded at $13 million.

October 20, 2005:
“Thirty-one nonprofit organizations in the Washington area, including 14 synagogues and eight hospitals, have received federal grants ranging from $26,000 to $100,000 to fortify their facilities under an anti-terrorism program that has divided Jewish leaders and drawn criticism from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
The grants are part of a $25 million nationwide program that Congress approved last year and recently renewed for fiscal 2006 to protect nonprofit groups deemed highly vulnerable to a terrorist attack.
United Jewish Communities, which represents more than 550 Jewish organizations in North America, took credit in a news release last week for lobbying Congress to set up and renew the program.”

These parasites epitomize the entitlement mentality.
If it were possible to understand these creatures that have insinuated their loathsome life amongst a favourable host, who brought with them the east European ghettos now the New York eponymous Burgs , in which the nice jewish survivors of persecution exclusively dwell in squalid poverty ; one should wonder not, that these sui genre malcontents importuning for Israel is also home of many indigent despite unlimited $$$ the compassion of congress rains on both righteous and unrighteous.
Also those sable hats they wear and verminous hair that it covers must have been an heirloom , which boasts of hidden wealth.. I know some poor, white people , old and young and worthy of help. Don’t they deserve some persecution too?
Don’t buy this census nonsense . It is roulette wheel which always stops the preordained spin at poor , persecuted jew. As much as one may feel indignant over this exclusive jewish subvention , a purulent sore , which will not heal; first consider honourable politicians , who are not blessed with the congenital shamelessness of the wandering jew who demand from others an opulent life; the exceptions they make for these inscrutable taugenichts is only possible through their complicity , treason and malfeasance .
I never cared for National Socialism, but National Socialists were right about many Jews being parasites in one way or another. The sheer nerve of Orthodox Jews in this country to exploit every social program there is, and then of course to look down on everything else is just staggering. Incidently, I grew up in New York City, so I’ve seen how obnoxious and arrogant these people can be.
They make me shudder, these hideous rats.
