Connecting the LKWD busing bill with the gas tax vote

This one from Politickernj- Those newfound pals of Gov. Chris Christie awoke today to find a regurgitated bill on the Assembly board list: S2049, a so-called private school courtesy busing bill.
"A source speculated that the bill’s sponsors – Assemblyman Sean Kean and Assemblyman David Rible, both Monmouth Republicans – could more easily back the late Transportation Trust Fund (TTF) fix on Monday with the expectation of this bill again seeing daylight today." read more HERE

NJ residents furious at gas tax now

Gas tax vote On Thursday June 30th  the New Jersey State Senate will vote on raising the state gas tax by 23 cents  and Gov. Christie would sign the bill if they do. NJ1015 reports many Jersey residents remain strongly opposed to the plan. Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute, believes this is happening for a combination of reasons.
He said the proposed gas tax increase – now that it’s finally been laid out and passed by the lower house – has struck an emotional chord with many people who already have a huge mistrust of government. So, they wind up thinking “this is a money grab, you really do want to use it for something else, and it just feeds this mistrust that people have, 23 cents just sounds so big in the grand scheme of things right now.”

Vote on busing bill facing opposition

Lakewood busing vote is this Thursday in Trenton. The bill was pulled late Monday night when there was not enough votes for it to pass. Yet the lies about the orthodox community continue unabated - 
The myth- Orthodox private schools are taking away money intended for public school students for their own courtesy busing. The NJEA which is fiercely opposing the bill, ran a headline "Bill takes millions from Lakewood public schools to pay for busing for ineligible private school students" The claim is made according to their report, "S-2049 (Singer)/A-3652 (Rible, Kean) would direct the Lakewood school district, which is already underfunded in the current year by almost $5 million, to overpay a consortium of private schools to bus private school students.  Also, under provisions of the bills, the consortium would be permitted to use the overpayment to bus private school students who are not eligible for busing under State law."
In truth, the money to bus private students living past the threshold of  2 or 2.5 miles is mandated by the state. New Jersey law requires school districts to provide transportation to students who live more than two miles from school for grades K-8, and 2.5 miles for high school students. All across NJ towns pay for courtesy busing due to safety concerns,which includes many public school students who live less than the 2 mile threshold. If the school district is unable to provide transportation to nonpublic students within this limit, the district is required to make an “aid in lieu of transportation” payment to the parents of the nonpublic school student.

Priorities

Its almost the end of district busing never the less the last few days have been hectic for some boys schools. Since girls schools are closed and day camp began the companies have moved up the schedule of boys routes bu a half hour. Instead of 8:30, pick up now is at 8:00 am. Is it more important to have girls get on time to camp than inconvenience the boys  in yeshiva especially now during the end of the year when bed time is later? Its a small complaint but where are our priorities.

Lakewood will receive + $2,406.73 per student under Christie fairness school formula








According to data compiled by NJ.com the state aid to the Lakewood school district would go up by 59%. The new plan calls for a flat per pupil formula of $6,599. Currently out of the $9.1 Billion state aid to schools 31 districts known as "Abbot districts" receive $5 billion while the remaining 546 share $4 billion in state aid. Will property taxes go down? who knows. In addition, the current formula of state aid for special ED in Lakewood does not take Lakewood's unique situation into account with more special ed needs. The state assumes x amount of students will need special ed services based on the number of total public school students. The 30,000 private school students are not in the equation which results in less state aid. Lakewood currently receives $24,690,607 in Special ed services (Here) the big chunk comes from local property taxes.

Hespedim and Atzeres hisoirerus for Rav Moshe Rabinowitz zt''l

A  kinus hisoirerus and Asifas hesped for Harav Moshe Rabinowitz zatzal  will take place this evening in Lakewood at Zichron Shneur 282 Oak Knoll. Program will begin at 8:45 Maariv at 10:15. Rav Asher Chaim Lieberman mara Dasra will deliver divrei Hesped as will Harav Yaakov Landau Rav of Chanichei hayeshivos in Lakewood and R'M in Torah Temima. The niftar son Rav Yechiel Rabbinowitz will be among others to  speak divrei zikaron. 

I am here for you

Submitted by HH,
I am not against anyone, definitely not the roshei hayeshiva. why would I be against my own Yeshiva? I am disappointed in the direction that it has gone. Trading in your soul to ensure that there is toilet paper in the bathrooms is not an excuse. Putting bar codes on Talmidim according to many people is not progress when it comes to learning Torah. The only difference between me and everyone that agrees with me, is that I refuse to speak up anonymously. I don't think anyone can say with a straight face that we are experiencing a Jewish Renaissance. 
Yiddishkeit has become influenced by magazines with headlines worthy of the National enquirer. While our leaders blame blogs that discuss real issues, multiple magazines and free newspapers rot our brains with articles and ads that reduce Yiddishkeit to cool catch phrases about cheesecake and how to have an easy Tisha bav. Recipes and articles that pressure wives to be perfect homemakers while trying to raise and teach a house full of children. Torah Judaism has turned into a business.

Rabbi Avrohom Yaakov Finkel Z'L

The levayah will take place at 9:45 a.m. at the Congregation Sons of Israel Memorial Chapel off of East 7th Street in Lakewood, NJ. 
 Matzav.com  It is with great sadness that we report the passing of Rabbi Avraham Yaakov Finkel z”l. He was 90 years old. Born in 1926 in Basel, Switzerland, to his parents, Rabbi and Mrs. Yehoshua Matisyahu Finkel, he lived in The Hague, Netherlands, until 1942, when he was deported to Bergen-Belsen by the Nazis.

Gov Christie calls for equal funding per student in NJ

Trenton- Republican Gov. Chris Christie on Tuesday proposed redistributing billions of dollars in educational aid from the poorest districts to hundreds of other schools, calling the current funding formula “immoral” and a factor in the state’s highest-in-the nation property taxes.

Christie, a high-profile adviser to presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, focused on a classic New Jersey boogeyman— high property taxes, which the nonpartisan Tax Foundation rates as the country’s highest — and a long-simmering frustration that the state’s school funding unfairly helps some residents while burdening others, with little to show for it.

The Yom tov of Shavuos in Lakewood was celebrated by thousands in Lakewood over 3 days. The weather was hotter than expected over the first 2 days, the 2nd day YT saw nice weather making it easy on those who walked eating out by friends and family. In many developments shabbos goy services were available for those ovens that shut off, AC or lights turned on etc. In a reverse of the usual, Parents, in laws, siblings flocked to Lakewood to spend tom tov with their children. The kol Torah was heard shavuos night in all yeshivos and botei midrashim of Lakewood. Many shuls hosted special learning programs for kids who stayed up late shavuos night. A dilemma this year among 5th grade rebbeim, if to encourage the boys to stay up or not various opinions were said, some held not to push kids at all to stay up, but rather had special learning programs over the rest of shavuos.

Money will be distributed today erev Shavuos in Lakewood. There is a segula for one that wants a son to separate 91 perutahs on Erev Shavuos and then add more till he gets to 104, the gematria of 2 times ben, and then give it to a humble, worthy talmid chacham. (R’ Yaakov Falagi, Father of R’ Chaim Falagi) Shevuos is a good time to daven for barren woman. It is brought down from mekubolim that when the Mishna in Roshana says that we are judged on fruits of the tree, it refers to children, because man is called a tree and the fruits are the children.

Rav Mattisyahu Solomon delivers pre shavuos drasha in Lakewood Yeshiva

The Lakewood mashgiach, Harav mattisyahu Solomon shlita delivered a mussar shmuez in Bais Medrash Govoha for the upcoming yom tov of Shavuos.

Rabbi Moshe Rabinowitz ZT''L remembered at the Oorah radiothon

Hear the strory of Reb Moshe Rabinowitz ztz"l, a man who held numerous positions in the community, among them Menahel of MeYeshiva Keren Hatorah, and Rav of Beis Medrash Tiferes Shimon in lakewood, NJ. Yet, he found the time to reach out and study Torah with unaffiliated Jews with Oorah's TorahMates program. He did not view his Torah Mate as a secondary responsibility. In fact, a short while before his passing while in excruciating pain, the one thing on his mind was who will take over and learn with his TorahMate after his passing. Hear about this great man from the words of his TorahMate, Dr. Martin Fried, and from his son, R' Yisroel Rabinowitz Shlit"a.

Lost Diamond Recovered in Lakewood Parking Lot

Hamodia A diamond lost Wednesday in a Lakewood parking lot was found by Chaveirim after a 20-minute search. At around 2 p.m., a woman called Chaverim of Lakewood to report the missing diamond.  The “woman was in the parking lot of a store in a public area,” Chaveirim member Shimshon Wulliger told Hamodia. “She slammed the door on her finger. The ring got stuck and the diamond of the ring fell off and got lost in the parking lot.”The woman told Chaveirim that she was too nervous to leave since the diamond had fallen off the ring and it might get stolen.
Chaveirim cordoned off the area and began a search. After 20 minutes, the diamond was found by Chaveirim member Amrum Orgal. Hamodia
