There had been a couple of notorious murders and two near-lynchings that caused became the pretext for a boil-over between Jews and Blacks in NYC. It got ugly-ugly, not slap-fight ugly.
The term "race card" comes to mind.
It turned out that what had been some hard feelings that were being resolved by the rabbinate and local Black community activists were being stoked by local politicians including a certain man who recently ran for the GOP presidential nomination.
After everybody calmed down, word came out that there was also some reconciliation brokered by The Shrill One.
The NYC Jews' two-year-long flirtation with the GOP ended. A mitzveh it was!
