Jackson Approves Its First Yeshiva With Dorm

Jackson’s first yeshiva with a dormitory has been approved by the township zoning board a year after settling a lawsuit brought by the federal Department of Justice (DOJ) charging the municipality with “extreme animus” toward Orthodox Jews. Wilentz Shareholder Donna Jennings commented, "Without the hardship and issue of the shape and access to the road, we would not, in my opinion, be before this board because it is our opinion the dorm is permitted as an accessory use under your own ordinance and, quite frankly, under federal law, it is permitted.”
