Lakewood, an affordable place to make weddings

Why Are Baltimore Weddings Made in Lakewood?
From Baltimorejewishlife.com
Dear Baltimore Friends, amush
I know I speak for hundreds if not thousands. We love our friends, neighbors, and families. We want to be at their simchos. But we hate driving three hours each way to Lakewood to get to the simchos. More and more of us are choosing to make Baltimore simchos in Lakewood. Why? I am told it is based on cost. What wedding halls in Lakewood offer cannot be matched by halls in Baltimore. Apparently, the halls offer amazing packages for everything: hall, food, band, video, photographer, etc.-all in one great deal.

Here’s the question.

Howell park defaced with Swastikas

HOWELL, NJ — Howell Township police are investigating after a resident found swastikas spray-painted there Monday, police said. 
The swastikas, at Echo Lake Park on Maxim Southard Road, were reported Monday morning, Detective Sgt. Christian Antunez said. 
The detective bureau found nine swastikas spray-painted in white near the horseshoe pits on the backboards and benches, he said. The horseshoes area is about 300 feet from the road and parking lot, making the vandalism partially visible but hard to distinguish, he said.  There also was random, non-distinct spray painting on the floor of the gazebo, he said.

A favorable ruling for Yeshiva Naos Yaakov

Yesterday, a federal court issued a final order determining that prohibiting Storzer & Associates’ client, Yeshiva Gedola Na’os Yaakov, from operating its religious boarding school for advanced Jewish studies in Ocean Township, N.J. violates federal law.

It further required the Township to permit the Yeshiva to operate its educational institution with 80 students at 1515 Logan Road in Ocean Township.

This order ends the Yeshiva’s two-year struggle to locate its facility in the Township and vindicates its constitutional rights.

Bein Hazmanim begins in Lakewood

Schools are off for 6 weeks already, but for the youngeleit of Lakewood summer vacation begins today as they rest up before resuming for Elul Zman. During these weeks one experiences a feeling of what it used to or should be like. With thousands leaving for summer vacation  parking spots are easy to find, lines in stores are shorter, less traffic on the streets and there's a feeling of a calm and peace. This is what it feels like in out of town places on a daily basis. Enjoy it for now before the school season begins and the busing fiasco may take a while to straighten itself out.

Shidduch crisis asifos across Lakewood Tisha B'Av night

Motzei Shabbos the night of Tisha B'Av in shuls across Lakewood there will be gatherings  focusing on the "shidduch crisis" to join in sharing the pain of singles who can't find a shidduch. Signs posted said these initiatives are under the guidance of Rav Shmuel kaminetzky and the Viznitz dayan of Lakewood. It reads "there were never yomim tovim as TU B'Av when Jewish girls would find a zivug. Unfortunately they Are now in a Crisis As the mashgiach Rav Mattisyahu Solomon Quoted the Posuk in Eicha "Besoloiseha Nugois vehi Mar lah". 
Crying over the churban Bais Hamikdash helps us feel the Tzaar hashechina.  The shechina cries for those in pain, but over time we are numbed and forget that Hashem wants us to cry along and beseech his mercy. Asifos will all take place at 10:40 pm (Ezras Noshim will be open in all locations).
1. Ateres Yeshaya, Speaking, Rav Simcha Bunim Cohen, Rav Yitzchok Basser.
2. Khal Zichron Pinchos, New England village, speaking Rav Aaron Zuckerman.
3. B"M Zichron Yoel 1014 Lawrence, speaking Rav Leib Gruber, Rav Yankel Berman. Additional gatherings will take

NJ Gov. Christie full statement on signing bill, of Lakewood busing pilot program

-Gives Lakewood Township 90 days to address safety concerns for students walking to and from school as well as the sfety of other Lakewood residents.
- No matter what school, all children in NJ should be able to travel safely between home and school
Senate Bill 2049 (First Reprint), which I have signed today, establishes a three-year pilot program for the transportation of nonpublic school students in grades K-12 residing in the Lakewood Township School District. I appreciate the unique transportation challenges that confront Lakewood, where the vast majority of students attend nonpublic schools, and but for a robust courtesy busing program, many of these students would have to cross dangerous and crowded intersections to get to and from school. Due to the rapid growth in population, high traffic volume, overcrowded sidewalks, and crosswalks in need of improvements, students do not have safe pathways to walk to and from school.

Chabad comes to Lakewood

5 Lubavitcher families moved to Lakewood this year, boosting a growing Chabad presence. "Even the pizza is cheaper," says newcomer Yosef Shidler.
By COLlive reporter

By all rights, Yossi and Sarah Shidler should have easily been able to afford a house, in the not so distant future. Owners of a successful business, the young couple earn a modest living, don't live extravagantly and with just two young daughters, they aren't paying daunting yeshiva tuition bills. 

Yet like so many others in Crown Heights, the Shidler's found themselves spending so much on rent and day care that buying a house was fast becoming an impossible dream. Faced with a choice of staying forever in a cramped apartment or moving out of Brooklyn, the Shidlers decided to take the plunge and join the growing number of Lubavitch families that call Lakewood, New Jersey home.

NJ Yeshivah Fights Zoning Denial in Federal Appeals Court

 Hamodia-In a case that has garnered much attention, Yeshivah Naos Yaakov’s ongoing battle to build its new campus in New Jersey’s Ocean Township has reached the federal appeals court in Trenton, where the first round of hearings already took place. While the township vigorously insists that the decision to block construction was based purely on neutral ordinances, supporters of the yeshivah argue that the permit denial was driven by general animus to the increasing presence of Orthodox Jews in towns surrounding Lakewood.

“This is bigotry masked as a zoning hearing, pure and simple,” said Roman P. Storzer, attorney for the yeshivah, in advance of the proceedings. “The situation that the yeshivah has faced here is exactly why Congress decided that RLUIPA’s protections are necessary.”

Team Lakewood heading out on BIke 4 Chai

Team Lakewood has raised over $400,000 for Bike 4 chai. They will be biking to camp on Wednesday and Thursday August 3rd and 4th. Our objective is to raise at least $400,000 by then and we hope you will help us reach this goal. We will bike 180 miles through 3 states to Camp Simcha, an extraordinary overnight camp that gives children with cancer a vacation from sickness that restores their spirits and renews their determination to fight! The ride won't be easy, but neither is life for a child with cancer or other serious illness. Camp Simcha and its sister camp, Camp Simcha Special, are Chai Lifeline's flagship programs. Every year these two camps offer 420 children a chance to forget about illness and just be kids again.

Some boys day camps begin

Cant we all be on the same page?
Day camp begins to the relief of many working parents whose boys were home all week, the boys have finally started day camp. Other camps wont start for another week since its hard to get staff as the yeshivos finish the zman on Rosh chodesh. The camps all go for 4 weeks, meaning others will have the last week of summer vacation off. These different schedules between boys and girls camps make it difficult for working parents juggling work schedule and family vacation.
