באש ובמים - עם ישראל חי

Singer Avrohom Fried writes about the fires burning in Eretz Yisrael the words of a recent song come to mind.  ( listen to song below)

כשהקלטתי את השיר הזה, מילותיו של הנביא ישעיהו ריגשו אותי בעוצמתם, אך לא ידעתי עד כמה יהיו רלבנטיות יום אחד בארץ הקודש. "כי-תעבור במים איתך-אני, ובנהרות לא ישטפוך:  כי-תלך במו-אש לא תיכווה, ולהבה לא תבער-בך." (ישעיהו מ"ג)
המלב"ים שואל על הפסוק הזה, מדוע הכפילות? במים/בנהרות", "באש/להבה". ועונה שם, כי ישנם שני סוגים של הצלה. יש הצלה בדרך הטבע. במצב בו ה' יתברך שומר על האדם שלא יתקרב אליו המזיק. אבל יש גם הצלה ניסית, כך שאפילו אם יהיה במקום בו יש אש ומים, הטבע שלהם מתבטל ולא מזיק לו 

 ואנו עומדים משתאים מול הניסים הגדולים ב"ה לעמנו, מול החוסן של עם ישראל ביום הקשה הזה,

Letter: Looking for info on the Lakewood- Manhattan commute

Dear Fellow Lakewooders,
I am a Lakewood resident who recently got a job in Manhattan. I am new to the commuting schedule and have no familiarity with Lakewood-Manhattan busses. If anyone can provide information and contact info for such daily transportation between Lakewood and Manhattan, both ways, it would greatly appreciated. Also, if there is information about davening Shacharis, that would helpful. 
Also, perhaps readers can advise whether it is better to take a bus than to drive myself, and what the cost considerations are. Other helpful info would be with regard to driving to the end of Jersey, parking somewhere there, and then taking a train into Manhattan, and whether that is a viable option.
Thank you and tizku l'mitzvos.

Google Hits Pixel Resellers With 'Digital Death Sentence'

"Daniel Levy, who has been locked out from his Google account since Monday, said he has learned a hard lesson, though not necessarily the one the company intended. "They confiscated my property and shouldn't be trusted," said Levy, who lives in Lakewood, New Jersey. "I will never use their services again." AP 
The story was first posted on DansDeals where Google has suspended the accounts of users for violating its terms and conditions. Several people who recently bought Google's new Pixel phone on behalf of a New Hampshire dealer are now suffering that punishment after the company detected their online purchases and judged they violated its terms of service.

“Bingo” a Kosher Costco Concept opens in Boro Park, plans for Lakewood area store

Ger Rebbe son
As reported back in March HERE “Bingo” a Kosher Costco Concept which has stores in Israel under the Osher Ad label opened its first store in the USA. The Brooklyn store is located in Boro Park at the former Pathmark location at 60th street and 13th avenue. A report in Koshertoday.com says the store will target the price conscious buyers. "Although the store will be huge and spacious, it will target the price conscious and the bulk buyers, especially the many large families in the area and beyond. Industry sources told Kosher Today that the store, to be called “Bingo” has already negotiated mega deals with kosher manufacturers, including several who agreed to private label for Bingo. The store is set to have a Costco (without the membership) look rather than the appearance of the numerous high-end kosher independent stores that currently dot many Orthodox neighborhoods"

Lakewood kids rejoice with Trump win, no more whole wheat bread

A Trump victory was good news to many Lakewood kids but nothing to do with politics.
Parents, Rebbeim, and moros were having a hard time with kids not eating school lunches as the kids refused to comply with  regulations implemented by first lady Michelle Obama. The menu calls for whole grain whole wheat bread and no white or rye bread. According to a report the New school lunch standards implemented as a result of First Lady Michelle Obama’s anti-obesity campaign have led to more than 1 million children leaving the lunch line. The kids hope with a new president the good old lunches will be served.

Kids walking after dark from clustered bus stops, get those reflectors out

The clock change means lots of Lakewood kids will be dropped off from school after dark. Unlike previous years in Lakewood were students were dropped off closer to their homes, this year, for many kids, its a longer trek back home from the bus stops. The LSTA has clustered bus stops in certain areas in order to maximize routes and efficiency, but this will now add to safety concerns with thousands of children walking a longer time after dark and crossing busy streets. Additionally, some routes with younger children will first get to their stops after nightfall since these routes run late. Schools plan on having safety talks with students, making sure they wear reflectors and are accustomed to the time change.
 A safe trip to all Be''H.

Shivti Chaburos begins winter limudim

We would like to take this opportunity to welcome back all those chaburos that will be beginning their limudim this week. The limud will focus on the concept of Meleches Machsheves - the idea that in order for an action to be considered a melacha, one must perform it with the intent and desire to achieve the result of that melacha.
