Jackson has been through a really rough time. I feel for the residents of Jackson who watched their town change relatively rapidly with an influx of religious Jews whose customs and appearance seemed strange and foreign to them. When Jackson residents began seeing hundreds of Orthodox Jewish families moving in to enjoy the space, beauty and relative tranquility of Jackson, they didn’t quite know what to make of it.
First they got upset when these families started buying a lot of homes in the area and then when they started doing things in town that made it easier for them to observe their religion. Namely, putting up eruvim, which is a symbolic, nearly invisible fishing-like wire that creates borders within which they can carry objects on the Sabbath. Next, the Jewish community set about to secure essential dormitory space to house students who study their holy books in seminaries.

TRENTON - A federal judge has narrowed the grounds on which the children of former Neptune police Sgt. Philip Seidle can sue officials with the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office over a decision to rearm their father with the gun he used to kill their mother in 2015.
U.S. District Judge Michael A. Shipp last week dismissed some of the counts in a federal lawsuit brought by the nine children of Philip and Tamara Wilson Seidle against the prosecutor’s office and some staff members, past and present, while allowing other portions of the lawsuit to proceed.

Mulcahy took a deal from the government rather than face trial, admitting last fall that he assaulted the couple in the Kittatinny Point area on the New Jersey side of the river in September 2019.
