Help us fight Discrimination in Boca Raton!
We are reaching out to the greater Boca and South Florida community to help us stand up to discrimination against our Orthodox Jewish community in Avalon.
The securely locked, discreet gate used by our Orthodox Jewish community (only on Shabbat and holidays) does not clearly violate any HOA bylaws, as other homes in Avalon without a fence have received neither a violation or lawsuit.
Most recently, an anonymous letter was sent warning the neighboring community that the “number of Orthodox families will increase” if the gate is allowed. This has left us concerned for our safety and frightened for what it means to be Jewish and Orthodox in Boca Raton.
