The Orthodox Jewish Chamber of Commerce strongly condemns the petition that was started by Brielle Perrotta against the Orthodox Jews of Lakewood and request it be removed immediately.

Unfortunately  Brielle Perrotta from Toms River decided that it's time to pick another fight with the Orthodox Jews after multiple false petitions have been removed. We are requesting this new petition be removed immediately as it is fake news and just causing hate and fear amongst the neighboring towns. 

It's really frustrating and hurtful that people can spread baseless hate and fake news to stir up their anti semitic hate.

The petition that was started by Brielle is hurtful, baseless, antisemitic, and 100% a way to spread HATE!!

Lakewood is practically a ghost town. People are keeping the laws. It is pretty sickening to see select individuals who are insistent that the jews are law breakers sending patrols into lakewood to find "any law that is broken".

Grocery stores are going above and beyond their call of duty by providing masks and gloves to all who enter. Having guards at the door to make sure there are a limited amount of shoppers, one person per family and not allowing anyone under 16 in the store. (Unlike walmart, shoprite and practically any other store)

Here is a link to a report from the Lakewood Chief of Police saying that there is nearly a 100% compliance unlike the what Brielle is making up. https://www.thelakewoodscoop.com/news/2020/03/lakewood-police-chief-greg-meyer-were-seeing-nearly-100-compliance-with-governors-orders.html

We are requesting that everyone STOP this baseless hate. We are all humans and we are all hurting from this!

If only people would stop listening to hate and see Jewish people as good innocent people.

We are requesting from Change.org to remove the petition started by Brielle as it is a post that promotes hate and violence and is completely FALSE! (Link to petition https://www.change.org/p/phil-murphy-stop-lakewood-you-aren-t-above-the-law )

We are also requesting that the officials condemn this erratic behavior.

Respectfully signed,
