JTA On January 7, one day after a pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol, the 5 Towns Jewish Times, a weekly newspaper catering to the large Orthodox community in Nassau County on Long Island, ran a photo of one of its columnists posing triumphantly in front of a sea of protesters.
“5TJT columnist Dr. Gila Jedwab joined the Save America protest in Washington DC on Wednesday. She returned to New York before the violence broke out,” the caption read.

For the last four years, Orthodox Jewish institutions have shown broad support for the actions and rhetoric of President Donald Trump. Many Orthodox institutions encouraged their members to see Trump’s rise to power as a unique and exciting pathway to support religious insularity, the State of Israel, and traditional gender and family dynamics.
For years, those Orthodox institutions would not engage with those of us who pointed out the clear signs that Donald Trump was not a moral guide of any sort, but a childish, irrational, and even violent autocrat.
Indeed, his abhorrent views on women, racial minorities, and other already marginalized groups were not only ignored, they were celebrated – as finally the quiet sexist, classist, and racist prejudices could be stated in the public sphere with few repercussions.
On Jan. 7, one day after a pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol, the 5 Towns Jewish Times, a weekly newspaper catering to the large Orthodox community in Nassau County on Long Island, New York, ran a photo of one of its columnists posing triumphantly in front of a sea of protesters.
“5TJT columnist Dr. Gila Jedwab joined the Save America protest in Washington DC on Wednesday. She returned to New York before the violence broke out,” the caption read.
Reaction was swift and angry. By Friday afternoon, two local Orthodox synagogues were refusing to allow the paper in their buildings because it appeared to glorify the day’s events. On Sunday, the editor of the 5 Towns Jewish Times had apologized for running the photo, saying it spread “a terrible damaging message.”
