One More Jewish Mayor
SIW is reporting on Orthodox mayors and not surprisingly, good 'ol Springfield, NJ gets overlooked once again. Not only have we had an Orthodox mayor in Clara Harelik, but a female Orthodox mayor who has served several terms1 and recently won the Mayor of the Year award for Union County.
Who knew Springfield could be so progressive?
1. For some wacky reasoning you don't vote for mayors directly in Springfield, but for a five-member Township Committee who selects the mayor from among themselves.







ah but tnecks young ortho mayor has the first black female deputy mayor.
the comments there say englewood and lakewood also have ortho mayors.
but tneck is just oh so much cooler than springfield, no?
