Police continue to monitor a
Bedford-Stuyvesant yeshiva after
cops raided the school where more
than 60 students were gathered for
religious classes, offi cials said.
The students at Nitra Yeshiva,
located on Madison Street by Ralph
Avenue, were said to have come
from Williamsburg’s Satmar Hasidic
community, where police have
been shutting down similar schools
to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Offi cers arrived at the yeshiva
just before noon on Monday and
ordered administrators to shut the
school down after at least two locals
contacted police about children
playing on the roof, police said. Offi -
cials estimate that there were more
than 100 students and teachers inside
the building.
The city issued a Cease and Desist
Order addressed to the yeshiva’s
administrator David Moskowitz
that was posted on the front door
of the building. There were no summonses
or arrests.
When asked why police didn’t
issue summonses, Commissioner
Dermot Shea said in an interview
on NY1 that offi cers don’t tend to issue
summonses or make arrests if
people disperse on request.
“We will enforce this and if people
disperse immediately, they are
not getting summonses – but there
is no gatherings, period,” he said.
