  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The Trump administration is using a federal law traditionally used to prosecute people who obstruct or threaten abortion clinics to take legal action against organizations that targeted a New Jersey synagogue during a violent protest last fall.

The U.S. Department of Justice announced Monday that it is filing a civil complaint under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act against a group of defendants who threatened the Congregation Ohr Torah synagogue of West Orange during a November 2024 protest.

The incident in question happened on Nov. 13, with the lawsuit calling it a "coordinated effort to intimidate and disrupt Jewish worshipers at a religious event held at the synagogue Congregation Ohr Torah."

"The event, originally scheduled at the home of Dr. Moshe Glick, a well-respected healthcare professional, in a room designated for communal prayer and study, was relocated to the synagogue due to credible threats of violence from certain Defendants."
