Noisy Jewish Neighbors & Calling Police
Question
My neighbor above me has loud drinking parties every Shabbat. They invite what appears to be dozens of young orthodox men over who get drunk and sing loudly and stomp on the floor all night. The noise they make really bothers me and I can’t stand it. I have tried talking to them, but they refuse. I have also spoken with a local rabbi who says he can’t help me. The apartment management hasn’t been of any help either. I am so frustrated. These men call what they are doing ‘oneg.’ Perhaps it is oneg for them, but for me it is utter cacophony that spoils the oneg of my Shabbat. I have thought of talking to the police about this and arranging in advance of Shabbat for an officer to come at that time and see it firsthand, but I don’t know if it is permitted to call the police on my fellow Orthodox Jews like that. What do you think?
