Haredi group lashes back at New York Times reporting on schools

Agudath Israel of America, a lobbying group on behalf of Haredi Jewish synagogues and schools, has mounted an aggressive media and billboard campaign answering a New York Times investigation into New York state’s private yeshiva schools.

The campaign, with a new website and at least three billboards in Manhattan, accuses the newspaper’s investigation of threatening Haredi Jews’ safety and way of life at a time when antisemitism against Jews is rising.
