Oakland’s Jerusalem Coffee House closes as DOJ and partners sue over antisemitism accusations
TL;DR Summary
Jerusalem Coffee House in Oakland abruptly closed amid three discrimination lawsuits accusing the cafe of antisemitic mistreatment of Jewish customers wearing Star of David hats, with the Department of Justice, the ADL, and the Brandeis Center for Justice pursuing a civil rights case set to go to federal trial on October 26.
