Teaneck Deputy Mayor Mark Schwartz and Councilwoman Karen Orgen were walking with her family in Bal Harbour, Florida, last week, enjoying some vacation time, when the unthinkable happened.
After afternoon synagogue services on Tuesday, Schwartz, Orgen, her husband, Eric, and their daughter intended to walk up Collins Avenue to a jetty “to wind down the holiday of Shavuot by the ocean before returning to sundown services,” said Schwartz, who was wearing a yarmulke.
But during their walk, Eric Orgen said in a social media post, a car pulled up and the men inside yelled antisemitic remarks at the group. They threatened to rape Orgen and her daughter, according to the post.
