NJ seeks to overhaul car emissions testing older cars no longer tested
Good news if you have a "old" yeshivisher car
Commercial cars & re inspections go to private facilities, older cars from 1995 and earlier will no longer have their emissions tested because the state will eliminate the tailpipe emissions tests. State officials want to steer more vehicles to private facilities for emissions inspections starting in mid-2016, under a plan that would also end emissions tests for a quarter-million older cars. The state Motor Vehicle Commission last week read more HERE

The Pervasive Fear of Affordable Housing in New Jersey
From Theatlantic.com
The comments started online shortly after this middle-class Republican stronghold in central New Jersey filed a plan to rezone a wooded area to enable the construction of 72 affordable housing units. There were the usual range of complaints: that the affordable housing would create more traffic, put additional stress on its aging infrastructure, and bring an undesirable element to town. But, in this case, that undesirable element wasn’t the usual target of affordable-housing opponents: read more HERE

So much for it being a religious symbol the Township Chanukah menorah has been put back up in town square by the Lakewood township. Perhaps its for next year :) Read Minutes of the meeting Decmber 3rd HERE where the whole issue was discussed at the township committee meeting and yes you can see the Township was actually threatened with having the ACLU involved.

Yom Tefila for the mashgiach Rav Mattisyahu Solomon shlita in all Lakewood shuls on Asara Bteves
The Lakewood Roshei Yeshiva signed a letter calling for a Yom Tefila as A Refuah for the Mashgiach Harav Mattisyahu Chaim ben Ettil this coming Tuesday the fast of Asarah B' teves. All Botei medrashim in Lakewood are asked to set aside a yom tefilah for the mashgiach.
Asleep at the wheel
The Agudah issued a statement opposing the recommendation of a state monitor to override and have veto power over a democratically elected school board in East Ramapo, NY. Other mandated services for non public students are on the chopping block. Lakewood currently has a state monitor yet there was no statements issued or any meetings called to stop what is being done. The vaad just tells the tzibur to vote for their candidates. Threats to busing and other services continue and the askanim are asleep at the wheel. They should learn a thing or two from the Monsey askanim.
Video: in Yiddish a powerful message
As daf yomi starts maseches gittin, unfortunately lakewood has its own maseches gittin were children are forcefully separated and ripped away from their fathers in large part as a direct result of the involvement of askanim, therapist's, and incompetent yoatzim. Watch this moving video.

Running out of Chanukah gelt
Tzedaka on the 5th night
The minhag is to give Chanukah gelt to aniyim on the fifth night. The simple reason since the 5th night never falls out on shabbos. More and more mishpachos among us are struggling financially. People can't afford the basics. In many areas and developments it's common for the gabbei tzedaka or rav to have residents knocking on the door unable to pay the monthly rent or mortgage. The high property taxes and cost of living is taking its toll on the tzibbur. We have many local tzedakos who help for shabbos, yom tov, simchas, camp etc.. But the day to day living is a struggle even in a two income household. On this night of Chanukah think of a relative or neighbor who maybe treading water or drowning. Not always can you tell from the outside, people are embarrassed and put on a facade. Ask around and give tzedaka bderech kavod. Let's help and look after our own.
