Orthodox Jews flee NY for Florida amid rising antisemitism

More than 100 Orthodox Jewish families, fed up with rising antisemitism and political dysfunction in New York, are planning to join the 60 who already fled the state for a new community in Florida — only for far-right influencers to descend on their community and spew vicious Jew-hating rhetoric. Lakefront Estates, a $300 million, 550-acre neighborhood developed in Glades County, officially opened its doors in October and has seen an influx ever since. The community boasts a kosher supermarket, synagogue and yeshiva for the Orthodox Jewish community. Jews are fleeing antisemitism in New York for Lakefront Estates in Florida. Zak Bennett for New York Post Lakefront Estates CEO Yidel Perlstein said that the Orthodox Jewish community represents the first wave of sales at the development because so many Jews were seeking to leave New York, but that the homes at Lakefront Estates are open for anyone to buy. The town offers 4 bedroom 2,5000 square foot homes starting at $460,000 and 7 bedroom 3700 square foot homes for $585,000, Perlstein said. Multiple families interviewed by The Post said that rising antisemitism, which supercharged under Mayor Zohran Mamdani, gave them the final push to leave The Empire State. ‘Nobody Wants This’

2026 New York state legislative general election races to watch

Unlike during primary season in New York, when many hot state legislative contests are in New York City or elsewhere downstate, the most tightly contested races in November are taking place in many different areas of the state. And those races come with a variety of dynamics, be it varying demographics or stronger coattails from the top of the ticket. With Republicans unlikely to gain a majority in either chamber anytime soon, a lot of the intrigue in this year’s races is about where Democrats can make inroads in an expected “blue wave” election – and whether they can once again secure a supermajority in the state Senate. With the general election nearing, here are the state legislative races we’ll be keeping an eye on.

Thousands Of Crows Are Swarming New York Towns, And It’s Seriously Creepy

A cold winter evening, and the sky suddenly turns black with wings. Thousands of crows swirl overhead, cawing so loudly you can barely hear yourself think. For many New Yorkers, it feels like a scene from Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds. Yet there’s no movie crew, no scary soundtrack, and no reason to hide under the covers.
