Israel and Lebanon's Hezbollah agree to a ceasefire after nearly 14 months of fightingA New Jersey town has ended its police chaplain program after a controversy over social media comments made by one of its religious leader volunteers. “After much discussion, we have made the decision to disband the program,” Interim Township Manager Michael Lapolla said during the Dec. 3 township council meeting in Montclair. “The conflicts between freedom of speech and freedom of religion are sometimes too difficult for anyone to handle, let alone us in government. And, none of us want to be the arbiter of those conflicts.” The decision comes after residents and local groups brought attention to comments and social media posts made by a chaplain, Kevin Dawud Amin, an imam at Masjid al Wadud. An investigation by the Montclair Civil Rights Commission " f ound that multiple posts on the Facebook page were considered antisemitic, and the Township of Montclair states its opposition - in the strongest way possible - to antisemitism or any kind of hate speech,“ township spokesman Matthew Amaral told NJ Advance Media. The imam has repeatedly denied his comments were antisemitic, reports by the outlet Montclair Local say. He could not be reached for comment on Friday. The town and police department, Lapolla said in the streamed meeting, are not in a position to monitor social media accounts of their volunteers and determine which posts may or may not be offensive. “It’s unfortunate, but we just do not see a way around this,” Lapolla said at the meeting. The Civil Rights Commission declined to make someone available for an interview, referring NJ Advance Media to township meeting minutes. “The Civil Rights Commission continues to condemn all acts of bias, discrimination, and hate in Montclair Township,” the advisory board said in a statement posted earlier this week. Montclair Police Chief Todd Conforti said at the Dec. 3 council meeting that the department will maintain its relationship with religious leaders, even though the program is ending. So, if when police are responding to an incident, a resident requests to see a religious leader, officers can still attempt to make that connection. “We still have our same community partners,” he said. “We still have the ability to reach out to people and help people.” Mayor Renee Baskerville made statements alluding to the controversy at an earlier town meeting, on Nov. 26. “I stand against hate in all of its forms,” she said at the meeting. “...Any behaviors that cause harm, fear or hurt are unacceptable.” According to the township’s website, the chaplain program allowed community religious leaders to work with police and other law enforcement officials “during times of crisis or incidents, to provide a more comprehensive response to those in need.” The website lists seven chaplains of various faiths, though the imam is not among those listed online. The chaplain program started in 2017, town officials said. Amin was approved as a chaplain in 2023, Montclair Local reported. The controversy has gained some wider attention, with U.S. Rep Mikie Sherrill, a candidate for governor, posting on X about it Thursday. “I denounce the antisemitic statements made on social media by the outgoing police chaplain in Montclair,” she posted. “Montclair is a town that prides itself on inclusivity and diversity — antisemitic, homophobic, or racist comments have no place in our community.” RECOMMENDED • nj .com See all homes sold in Montclair, Nov. 25 to Dec. 1 Dec. 4, 2024, 4:52 p.m. Montclair to celebrate Chanukah with festive community event Dec. 6, 2024, 6:56 a.m. Council members said at the Dec. 3 meeting they would, in coming weeks, take whatever legal steps were necessary to officially disband the program, but that it would be defunct before the process is complete. Officials also said they are opening to reinstituting the program at some point in the future. NJ Advance Media staff writer Jeff Goldman contributed to this report.

After his team's 102-89 home win on Wednesday night over Purdue Fort Wayne, Penn State coach Mike Rhoades challenged his team's fan base to show up and make more noise. "Sweat with us," he said at one point. At 5-0, the Nittany Lions haven't had to sweat much to get off to a fast start. They might not have to expend much perspiration to make it 6-0 on Monday when they meet Fordham in a semifinal matchup at the Sunshine Slam tournament in Daytona Beach, Fla. Penn State hasn't played a strong schedule so far, but the team has been impressive. It's averaging 98.2 points per game and 13.8 steals per game, both of which ranked second in Division I through Saturday's play. The Nittany Lions were seventh per kenpom.com in turnover rate, forcing 25.3 per 100 possessions. Point guard Ace Baldwin Jr. is leading the charge, scoring 16.4 points and dishing out 7.8 assists while chipping in 2.6 steals. Zach Hicks has nearly doubled his scoring average from 8.4 last season to 15.8 this season, while Northern Illinois transfer Yanic Konan Niederhauser has beefed up the interior, tallying 12.2 points and 7.2 rebounds. Meanwhile, Fordham (3-3) is coming off a 73-71 home loss Friday night against Drexel in New York. The Rams blew a seven-point lead early in the second half and missed a chance to force overtime when leading scorer Jackie Johnson III missed a layup as time expired. Johnson, a UNLV transfer, is averaging 19 points per game and is making nearly 48 percent of his shots as one of three Rams with double-figure scoring averages. Jahmere Tripp scores at an 11.0 clip while Japhet Medor is contributed 10.5, but Fordham is struggling to make shots, canning only 41.5 percent from the field. The Rams were picked for a 14th-place finish in the Atlantic 10 despite returning more scoring than any team in the league except for VCU. Third-year coach Keith Urgo thinks his team can defy low external expectations. "We're experienced and I think we're poised to have a tremendous year," he said. --Field Level MediaFlag football scours nation with talent camps to uncover next wave of stars
