KIRYAS JOEL — Community members are raising alarms over a viral online video and related social media posts they say portray Orthodox Jewish communities in a hostile and inflammatory way, prompting fears the content could attract antisemitic harassment and outside agitators.

A concerned resident said the video’s creator Tyler Oliveira, has been circulating a YouTube video and related posts across multiple platforms and has a large online following. The resident, who shared screenshots of the posts, urged local leaders to warn community members not to speak with anyone attempting to film or provoke confrontations. A post circulating on Instagram claims Oliveira is “investigating Kiryas Joel,” a Hasidic village in Orange County, New York.

The resident specifically called on leaders to tighten access to synagogues and community institutions and to advise residents to avoid interviews or on-camera interactions with visitors seeking to “agitate” or “investigate.” The creator’s official social media presence includes a YouTube channel under his name @tyleroliveiraofficial.

Community members said their immediate goal is to alert residents and local leadership, reduce the risk of escalation, and prevent people from engaging with this Anti-Semite.
