A hate group from Kansas is traveling to New York this weekend to demonstrate against Judaism.

Great Neck is about 90% Jewish, and has about 15 synagogues, including the Great Neck Synagogue, which is an old Orthodox shul and is one of the planned protest sites. There are a lot of Orthodox Jews in the immediate neighborhood, as Orthodox Jews cannot drive on the Sabbath and must therefore live within walking distance of a synagogue.
It is, of course, no coincidence that the protests coincide with Shabbat Shuvah and Yom Kippur.
On a personal note: My parents live in Great Neck. I'm concerned for them, but they plan to attend church as usual (they are Catholic) and otherwise to stay away from the protests. I hope they stay safe.
