Hymie’s Deli in Merion Station, Pennsylvania.

Rachel Ezekiel-Fishbein said she cancelled her plans to eat at Hymie’s on Friday night after she saw the ad. She said it presented Jewish women as caricatures, with their Yiddish inflections, sighs of “oy vey” and references to Ivy League students beleaguered by campus antisemitism. And she accused the RJC of fear mongering.
“It’s a shonda for Jews to frighten other Jews,” said Ezekiel-Fishbein, 60, who works in public relations and lives a short drive from Hymie’s.
The comments on social media, from Jews and others offended for them, abound.
“I am a very, very hard to offend Jew and this thing makes me rage,” someone with the handle liog2step wrote on Reddit.
“Boycott,” wrote a woman on X (the platform formerly called Twitter).
📺On Sunday, the Republican Jewish Coalition released this TV ad featuring three Jewish women — including a first-time Trump voter — discussing how Jews will be safer under a second Trump presidency.
