Jewish man sues officials over 2024 synagogue brawl

A Jewish man who was pardoned after being accused of assaulting a pro-Palestinian protester outside a New Jersey synagogue in 2024 sued a slew of local officials over the matter on Nov. 10. The lawsuit centers on a November 2024 protest outside Congregation Ohr Torah in West Orange, New Jersey. Several dozen anti-Israel demonstrators gathered to protest a real estate fair promoting living in Israel, but it turned into a brawl , with clashes between activists and worshipers. Moshe Glick was charged in part with assaulting protester Altaf Sharif, though he has maintained that he was defending another Jewish man being attacked, David Silberberg. Then-New Jersey Gov.

He also alleges that officials violated his First Amendment rights to freedom of religion, free speech and freedom to petition. The lawsuit comes
