A dozen or so Chassidim from Williamsburg came Thursday to the neighboring Crown Heights, home to a large Lubavitch community, and were anything but polite guests.
They held up signs, shouted pesukim from Tehillim and some unclear words in Yiddish.
One was even spotted with the pin button "Judaism Rejects Zionism."
What brought them to "Kan Tziva"?
A store in Williamsburg.
Iris Sherman, a popular sheitel macher and owner of Iris Salon & Spa at 1416 Kingston Avenue, recently opened a branch on Lee Avenue which caught the ire of these locals.
"Why would you be the first to start such a business in public, thereby breaking the Tznius fortress in our community," one of their signs read.
Another less modest sign, addressed Mrs. Sherman directly: "Iris! Please do not desecrate the kedush of our neighborhood."
