A trick-or-treating couple in Rockland County, New York, dressed up as a chassidishe husband and wife pulling a wagon full of children with a sign stating, “We buy houses – cash.”
Many people are up in arms, calling it anti-Semitism.
“It’s no different than if these people had dressed in blackface. It’s shameful and we are saddened and disgusted,” one person wrote on Facebook.

we live in galus
deal with it
Be mature and get a sense of humor. Jews never dress up on Purim as non-Jews? If people make everything into a big deal then real anti-Semitism, such as is being displayed in certain towns across the border, won’t be taken seriously.
Oh, please. Non-Jews are allowed to have a sense of humor too.
very cute, not different than people dressing up as irish in green.
Don’t Jews dress up as non-Jews on Purim? And those costumes are necessarily flattering …
Hey this is how others perceive us. Maybe we should wake up and act better.
if jews acted towards them in a respectful way this wouldnt have happened
The only sad part of this is that when people think of jews they think of pushy people bothering them to sell their house.
That’s an adorable costume and a good joke, That’s just a couple that isn’t afraid to Shtech a little, anyone would make this joke, chill out Matzav and stop crying anti-Semitism move on and have a good laugh.
oh puleez, every purim I see people dressed as African Americans, Arabs, Japanese, Chinese……the list goes on and on. We can do it but they can’t?
i will not dress up as KKK in african american place.
Admit it, its cute, end of story!!
I plan on dressing up as a pregnant nun this Purim.
It’s not the costumes that are offensive, it’s the sign and the dolls in the wagon that are.
Look at it this way: Imagine going around on Purim in a President Obama mask (not offensive, IMO) while pulling a wagon loaded with watermelons (extraordinarily offensive, IMO). See the difference?
Folks, don’t litter, respect neighbors in a community, and be extra nice. We share this world with others
Meanwhile, about 10 male yidden are in world media for embarrassing behavior. A shanda!
Nebach. Relax a little. Laugh a little bit.
how sensitive and insecure have we become, laugh (this has been up for a week)
What a good laugh!!!
We should start a group “ Jewish feelings matter” don’t be so sensitive laugh a little. Be more concerned about tomorrow’s election in Ramapo when the hatred is trying to infiltrate!
who are these people ???
