INN Reports: Election officials had designated the St. Nicholas of Tolentine Church as the polling station in the November presidential balloting for a Queens neighborhood, which includes Kew Gardens Hills’ large Jewish population.
Jewish law prohibits Jews from entering a church, where the Christian cross is offensive and considered to be a violation of the belief in the Creator.
The Board of Elections agreed to move the poling site to a local library, which also is much closer to Kew Gardens than the church.
