Comment on Hateful church targets NJ Jews by David Johnson

To Reb Yudel: I have been interested in the Westboro Baptist people for some time. I read their blogs and even Fred Phelp’s sermons. I do not agree with them. But, I don’t believe they protest just to drum up lawsuits. I think they actually believe they are doing the Lord’s work. I believe this, because they involve their children in their protests. The Westboro people are really hated. It is dangerous to have their children at one of their protests. I don’t think they would risk their children for money. I think they would risk them for a god.

I live in near Red Bank NJ and i am interested in sending my daughter to a Jewish school, where she can learn about the culture and also the language. We are not Jewish, would that be a problem? Do you have a school near here where my daughter can attend?
Your reply would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
