Jackson Township allegedly used zoning and land-use powers to prevent the building of Orthodox Jewish schools and restrict Jewish religious activities.
. “This governing body is committed to ensuring that we will do just that in order to foster one, united community, respectful of all people who call Jackson home.”
The state and federal complaints followed a lawsuit filed in 2017 against the township for adopting ordinances that effectively targeted Orthodox Jews trying to build religious schools. Since the federal judge’s preliminary injunction and the Justice Department settlement announced in June 2022, several religious schools for Orthodox Jews have been approved in Jackson, Jennings said.The New Jersey Attorney General’s Office had alleged that Jackson Township had passed ordinances in 2017 that essentially banned the establishment of yeshivas and dormitories for Orthodox Jews.
The township allegedly engaged in discriminatory surveillance of Orthodox Jewish homes to monitor prayer gatherings. And the township allegedly discriminated against the building of sukkahs, which are temporary open-air structures used to mark a weeklong Jewish holiday known as Sukkot.
