The Orthodox Jewish Public Affairs Council argues that the signage, which has since been removed from the storefronts on Lee Avenue, is merely a request. “From our understanding of the signs, they express a wish, not a condition of service, similar to the dress code of the Court Room where this case will be heard,” Yossi Gestetner, Co-Founder of OJPAC said in a statement.

The NY Daily News and the NY Post Editors agree with this assessment.
