News spread rapidly on Monday morning that The Getter Group, a prominent Israeli real estate company, had canceled its highly anticipated Boro Park real estate expo due to planned pro-Palestinian protests. However, these reports were unaware of the updated info, YWN has learned.
While the original venue was indeed changed, the event will still take place today at a new, undisclosed location. The decision to move the expo was not made out of fear, but rather out of concern for the Jewish schools and families in the area who would have been impacted by the disturbance and potential security risks posed by the protest.
Activists have openly called for demonstrations to “flood” the area surrounding the original venue, sparking concerns about the safety and security of local Jewish residents. With schools nearby and a densely populated Jewish community, organizers determined that proceeding at the original location could create unnecessary disruptions.
Despite the venue change, the Getter Group’s real estate sale is moving forward as planned. To ensure a safe and smooth experience, the new location is being kept confidential, shared only with pre-registered attendees. Each attendee has undergone a screening process to prevent any individuals with malicious intentions from accessing the event.
NYPD 66th Precinct Commander, Captain Kenneth Herrarte, told YWN that due to a planned pro-Palestinian protest, the 66th Precinct will maintain a strong presence in the area.

apdsvys: In 1930 how many zionist flags were there in Europe. Those who want to kill Jews couldn’t care less whether or not they are zionist. Indeed one can argue that there have been few if any zionists living in America for the past 70 years, since if they were zionists they would be Eretz Yisrael.
This Israeli Expo event that takes place from time to in the Five Towns , Teaneck New Jersey or many other cities including Toronto , Florida etc causes Aeiva & Bittul Torah. This is because the Palestinians always show up causing street closers many times close to Batei Midrashim & people miss night seder because of it. Therefore ny solution is to make this a Zoom event only which they already started doing in some locations . This way even if the event gets zoombombed only those attending who put themselves in the situation & not a whole community would get disturbed.
Everyone coming into the building should be searched by armed shomrim shmira with long guns
People have to know what type of threats we are facing.
Police have to know what the community is facing.
(I recall such security at both siyum hashas events in NJ.)
He sounds like a member of the toeva community.
If they case Jews out of Boro Park, is any place in America safe?
It’s important we show up with Trump flags as president Trump is going to be watching for this coverage according to inner staff.
Please, don’t buy real estate in Eretz Yisroel unless you plan to live there. These cutthroat real estate agents while fattening their wallets have made real estate in the Jerusalem area Chareidi communities completely out of reach of Israeli families. During similar war situations real estate prices use to depress as expected. Today they only become more expensive by the day. Why? Because they are no longer even advertised or built for Israeli families who can’t pay the exorbitant prices that make these cutthroats and their contractors so rich. And they are getting what they ask! E.g., four bedroom apartments 15 km outside of Jerusalem cost $1.5 million. In Jerusalem they cost $2-4 million. By giving these agents and their contractors your business you are forcing Jewish families to live in closet size rentals for their entire lives.
Interesting. They come to protest in BP, but if you drive down the streets, how many Israeli flags do you think you’ll find in ALL OF BORO PARK?
