Community Board 12 represents diverse neighborhoods
Borough Park, Midwood and Kensington, the three neighborhoods that make up the Community Board 12 area, are more diverse than one might think, according to District Manager Barry Spitzer.
While many people know that Borough Park boasts a large population of Orthodox Jews, Board 12, when taken as a whole, is more varied, Spitzer said. “We have a lot of mosques in our district,” he told the Brooklyn Eagle, adding that the board’s area has a sizeable Muslim community.
As the community board’s district manager, Spitzer said his job is to represent all of the residents of the area, regardless of race, nationality or religion.
