עַד־מָתַי֙ יִהְיֶ֨ה זֶ֥ה לָ֙נוּ֙ לְמוֹקֵ֔שׁ
Years ago, New Square’s leadership issued a letter asking Orthodox Jewish families not to purchase homes within approximately one mile of the village.
The explanation was explicit.
New Square needed to remain an “isolated corner” and a “secluded shtetl.” The letter warned that if other frum families moved too close, Skver children could be exposed to different standards of business, shopping and tznius, threatening the community’s supposed “high level of purity.”
The message was unmistakable:
Stay away from us.
Do not move near us.
Do not allow your families, institutions and children to come too close to ours.
We must remain isolated. We must remain separate. We must remain pure.
Yet today, Skver families are being encouraged to move directly into the established neighborhoods of other frum Jews.
There is a growing Skver presence on McNamara Road. The Francis Place shtiebel continues to expand. There is a Skver girls’ school on College Road. And now another shtiebel has opened near New City with the reported encouragement of the Rebbe himself.
So where did the concern for isolation go?
If living among Jews with different customs, shopping habits and standards is so dangerous, why is New Square leadership encouraging its own followers to establish outposts throughout greater Monsey?
Why are Skver families permitted to live among us, while we are told that living near them threatens their purity?
Isolation in One Direction
No one is demanding that Skver families leave Nanuet, New City, Wesley Hills or any other neighborhood.
No one is calling for their shtieblach to be closed.
No one is claiming that their children threaten the character or purity of our communities.
The surrounding Monsey community generally accepts a basic principle: Jews have the right to live, daven and build institutions wherever they may legally do so.
But that principle must work both ways.
New Square cannot insist that its followers may expand throughout the surrounding region while demanding that the surrounding region remain frozen a mile away from its borders.
It cannot celebrate new Skver communities inside other neighborhoods while describing other Jews moving near New Square as a spiritual danger.
It cannot say, “Stay away from us,” while steadily moving closer to everyone else.
That is not isolation. It is a one-way policy of control.
Choose One Standard
New Square’s leadership must choose.
Either living among the broader frum community is acceptable, in which case the entire justification for the mile policy collapses.
Or living among other frum communities is genuinely dangerous, in which case New Square leadership should explain why it is encouraging families, shuls and schools to expand throughout greater Monsey.
They cannot reasonably claim both.
Skver families are welcome to live among us. They are welcome to establish shuls among us. They are welcome to educate their children among us.
But the same right must be extended to everyone else.
The original letter should be withdrawn. The mile policy should end. And the families harmed by it deserve acknowledgment and an apology.
Until then, each new Skver outpost will expose the same glaring contradiction:
The mile only runs one way.

There’s another real estate mafia who are misfits from Satmar who they can’t live north of 59 so they moved to south Monsey. They have some tag alongs who are misfits of other Chassidussen. They pull any gangster tactic and / or dirty trick to get houses for billig or nothing. They are heartless, they don’t care if they drive a mishpocho to financial ruin & being homeless

The Ayatollah Twersy rules with an iron first (and a blow torch to set your house on fire while you're sleeping).
Time for a takedown of Duvidl Twersky and his gang, and the same for any other sects, individuals who engage in improper behavior.
One of the South Monsey real estate vultures is a Frank who gets his jollies from pretending to be Satmar. He separately figured out a scam how to defraud banks for huge amounts of money in a way that they don't even pursue him, they get confused by the roadblocks he throws up. If the Feds knew he has a pattern of scamming various banks they would arrest him even without the banks pressing charges. Many others in that South Monsey chabura have duplicated his fraud. One of them who is a real dope, didn't follow the exact formula so he angered the judge who did discovery & publicly posted all his credit card bills to show what kind of shtussim he uses the stolen credit on & ordered him to pay it back. It's believed that his flogging by the judge extended into other things that contributed to this dopey bum being thrown out as the manager of Newday supermarket. Before it blew up in his face he had Shnorred from countless yungerleit who he told he's desperate for funds to buy a house. The Sfardi derveil is the biggest shnorrer of them all, he probably needs spreadsheets to follow everything he shnorrs under totally falshe pretenses when he's a multimillionaire with a real estate portfolio & a retail store he secretly owns that's one of the busiest in Eretz Yisruel. The bank stuff isn't limited to credit cards, some of these filthy crooks steal much more with lines of credit for bogus gesheften
I’m so impressed with your writing skills and clarity. Keep up the good work
Does Twersky also have a mile exclusionary zone when he goes to Malibu?
It's obvious who the Frank is who is wannabe Satmar. Are you saying he tried to steal more houses than the one of his ex-eidim? The gesheft in Israel is something the moichrei sefurim he ripped off have been complaining about. As geferlich as his Schnorring is you gotta hand it to the guy he figured out how to maximize in yeden oifan, a za Super Schnorrer like there never was. Gvirim, kehillos, family foundations, internet platforms, shikken arim the sniveling eidim #2 to beg & twist arms. That's how he got $ from the baal habus of the AI company that made the Churban Bayis video that DIN posted a week ago
Yes. He needs to see the girls in bikinis.
