Antireligious Edict in NJ Senate

 BS"D 

May 27, '26/ Parshas Nosso, 5786

EMERGENCY: NJ Bill S2260/ A2218 Would Criminalize Lo Sa'amod, Endanger Children

S2260 criminalizes Torah-mandated efforts to save kids and others from "transforming" their "gender" - and from committing abortion.

We addressed a slightly earlier variant of this bill on our weekly radio broadcast before Shavuos, see https://daattorah.blogspot.com/2026/05/nj-amalekism-looming-levinat11.html.

Proponents also try to hide the true nature of this bill (https://www.njleg.state.nj.us/bill-search/2026/S2260/bill-text?f=S2500&n=2260_R1).  A reading of the Definitions clarifies that "Reproductive Health Care" is to include transgender "medical" procedures (" to support a person’s alignment with their gender identity or expression") - and abortion-on-demand.  However, if you miss the definition - you wouldn't know about the transgender component by reading other parts of the bill.   So, every time the bill uses the term "Reproductive Health Care" - it's actually including "transgender" as well.

Action Needed:

1) Urge Every NJ Senator to (a) VOTE NO against S2260/ A2218 - and (b) to EXPOSE this as an Antireligious Edict - similar to those evil Greek decrees against which the Maccabees fought to the death to defeat.

Please act NOW, before this THU., May 28.

2) Please share this immediately with anyone you know in NJ.

3) Help get the message out ASAP to every NJ Kehillah (by early next week) - contact us at torahjewsfordecency@gmail.com or call/text 845-642-1679.

Dear Senator Singer,

As a voter living in Lakewood, I urge you to please:

(a) VOTE NO against S2260/ A2218 - and 

(b) to EXPOSE this evil bill - which criminalizes Torah-mandated efforts to stop abusive and barbaric "transgender" procedures and abortion-at-whim - as an Antireligious Edict - similar to those evil Greek decrees against which the Maccabees fought to the death to defeat.

A Yeshiva Rebbe, Rov, Rosh Yeshiva, Principal, Teacher/Morah, Social Worker, mental health professional, therapist, chevrusa, mentor - perhaps even a parent - could potentially face massive fines - and hefty jail time - for merely:

• trying to verbally convince a girl or boy out of getting drugs or surgery to "become" (sic) that which they are not, or

• convince a young woman not to murder her preborn infant (and pursue adoption if need be), or even for just 

• saving her/him from remaining under the influence of evil parties (e.g. predatory therapists, "eductors," social workers, coaches, "medical" staff, mental health professionals, "friends") - grooming susceptible, often disadvantaged victims into their anti-Torah, heretical transgender/abortionism worldview.

Whether this evil decree passes or not, we cannot allow our representatives to remain on the sidelines in this governmental war being waged against our youth and against our Torah.

Thank you in advance for employing genuine leadership when truly needed."

Even if the bill would pass regardless of what we do, our silence - and worse - provides it the moral cover needed to pass as an acceptable form of legislation.

In the merit of such a communal Kiddush HaShem, may we merit to be saved from unrelenting tzoros.
