(JEWISH GROUP) NY attorney general orders car wash to stop ripping off Jews with antisemitic 'Passover special' [View all]

Last year, New York’s attorney general started investigating a car wash that, her office suspected, was scamming Jewish customers.

Now, Letitia James is ordering that business to end its “Passover special” — a car-cleaning offer that massively overcharged Orthodox Jews. Otherwise, it will have to pay $75,000.

Jewish law strictly forbids owning any chametz, or leavened food, during Passover. For the past several years, Super 4 Seasons car wash in the heavily Orthodox area of Spring Valley, New York, promised to thoroughly clean customers’ cars ahead of the holiday.

But in a report published last month, James’ office said Super 4 Seasons identified visibly Orthodox Jews, performed a standard car wash for them — then charged them more than three times the normal amount. Jewish customers were billed $169.99 for the ‘Passover special’ service that was priced at $47 for non-Jewish customers, the report said.

Anti-Semites are ever "evolving" in their hate.
