Rabbi Adam Scheier slams Montreal police for instructing him to leave a street corner—for safety reasons

JL;DR SUMMARY Rabbi Adam Scheier criticizes the Montreal police for asking him to leave a public area during a pro-Palestinian march, highlighting the precarious atmosphere for the Jewish community in the city.

  • But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
  • And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
