Shed Being Built at Pier in Brooklyn Bridge Park
The planned Brooklyn Bridge Park’s Pier 2 is about to host its first big party. Workers on Tuesday began building a tent that would hold some 3,000 people from the fundamentalist Jewish Hasidic sect, the Satmars, who will be celebrating the arrival of the European Jews at the end of World War II, according to A.J. Carter, a spokesman for the Empire State Development Corporation. The annual event starts Saturday evening and ends at 2:30 a.m. Carter said many would be coming by bus, but there is parking available for 200 cars. Though movies are often shot on the piers, the only recent event there that Carter could recall was a smaller public film viewing.

This event will be by reb Aaron and his people.
Last week the Judge ruled against giving Reb Aaron back some of the Properties that Satmar owns in Williamsburg. That is why they have to find a place large enough for the huge crowd that is expected to attend.
This is another O.J. Simpson case, where money rules.
Does it make sence that a whole group of people, actually thousand, have nowhere to pray or send their kids to school.
Zalmen and his people took everything away. He has empty classrooms, empty shuls, etc.
Reb Aaron has over 4,000 children in his schools in Williamsburg and there are no classes for them.
How unfair this is. It will take many years for them to rebuild.
