See it HERE

We, the people of Lakewood are desperate for a supermarket that will offer affordable prices in a convenient, nearby location. We don't need another fancy grocery store that will focus on selling expensive prepared foods and everyday groceries at convenience store prices.
KRM, we know good and well that you will be able to open an amazing supermarket as has been shown for many years in your current locations.
Please do us a favor (probably even a mitzvah) to the 99% of families that can't afford the current grocery pricing in Lakewood.

NO homebound bussing for private schools tomorrow

The BOE has informed all private schools that they will not provide busing or transportation for the way home from school tomorrow. It has to do with the shortened day schedule at the public schools. Expect grid lock as many will be carpooling at the same time. The town will shut down between 12 and 1 pm. This could have been avoidable but the incompetence and self interest of others has led to this. Some schools will have early dismissal at 10:45 with transportation. The Igud have filed a law suit but as of now there will not be any busing.

How could you not love him? He was so pure, so genuine, so kind. We are all in shock.” R’ Chaim was a picture of simchas hachaim, always smiling and ready to share a good word with one and all. His love for other people was always apparent, and his steady presence at Beth Medrash Govoha for so many years was a testament to his ahavas haTorah and his constant aliyah. A chavrusah of his told Matzav.com that he was always impressed by R’ Chaim’s diligence in learning, his ehrlichkeit, his pur values and strong hashkafos, and his meticulousness in keeping to his sedorim.
