Hotel Arthur Lakewood NJ 1930-1945

Last week America mourned the loss of a entertainer and legendary comedian. Jerry Lewis was born on March 16, 1926, the son of Jewish vaudeville entertainers. His birth name was Joseph Levitch, according to most sources. He grew up in Irvington, NJ but his career started in Lakewood. His first gig was at the hotel Arthur in Lakewood, NJ on sixth street and Forest Avenue. Lakewood and the Catskills were both resorts for hundreds of thousands of Jews who would leave the city for a vacation. Both had hotels and resorts dotting its landscape. After the turn of the century there were more than 100 hotels and 45 rooming houses in Lakewood many were Jewish but not all. The population, which ordinarily hovered around 4,000, could swell by 25,000 on a holiday weekend. Laurel‐in‐the‐Pines a 400‐room Lakewood Hotel, which catered to wealthy Jewish families was built by Nathan Strauss, the department‐store magnate, after he was denied admittance to the other two hotels. Lakewood had a small Orthodox community centered near the old shul on the other side of the tracks it would accommodate vacationers during the winter.
Sullivan County, NY also once boasted 538 hotels and over 50,000 bungalows, it was an illustrious, vacationing era.

The physical buildings are mostly gone by now but more so are the souls of thousands upon thousands of Jews who nebach were lost assimilated to the American culture and melting pot. 

B"H today 6th street and Forest is the heart of Lakewood and is replaced with the biggest makom Torah in America. Thousands of Jews are in Lakewood not for vacaton and entertainment but to live in and be part of a Makom Torah.  klal yisrael is growing  by leaps and bounds with large populations of Torch observant Yidden.

Toms River will Not Regulate Eruvs

APP reports  Toms Rivef Township Administrator Paul J. Shives said Toms River doesn't regulate eruvs, and said legal research conducted by the township indicates "there is no legal basis for municipalities to do so."
As more Orthodox Jews have purchased homes in Toms River, eruvs have been erected in several neighborhoods, Shives said.
"I am aware of efforts by Mahwah and other municipalities to regulate eruvs, but we do not feel such regulation is supported by the law at this juncture," Shives said. Read more at APP

Lakewood Drivers get caught up in Trump Twitter Storm

Lakewood Drivers get a a bad rap for the driving habits and  the town got itself a bad reputation for it. While there may be some bad  drivers as is the case in any town or city there are other contributing factors to blame.  A lot has to do with the infrastructure that cant handle the traffic and a lack of smart planning.
Somehow the issue of Lakewood driving  ended up in a twitter storm with President Donald  Trump.

"It was just an emotional expression I was referring to Lakewood, New Jersey and the horrible drivers of that town and that happens to be mostly Jewish people that live there." 

LA Times: During an early morning Twitter storm, President Trump retweeted a meme of himself "eclipsing" President Obama.
Then things took a strange turn for Jerry Travone, the man who tweeted the image. He had featured a website where he has an online shop selling pro-wrestling T-shirts in his Twitter bio. But anyone who clicked on the link Thursday morning would have been taken to the Jewish United Fund of Chicago – before the link disappeared from Travone's page altogether. Travone told The Times that he had nothing to do with the link to the Jewish United Fund, later tweeting that his account must have been hacked. Not exactly.  The Twitter account @OneHourTees, which belongs to the owners of the T-shirt marketplace where Travone had his shop, said it had redirected Travone's page to the Jewish United fund, telling Travone that it took action "since you hate Jews." Soon after, Travone said he lost access to his online store.
"That's what happens when the left attacks you," Travone tweeted.
On Sunday, Travone tweeted a statement critical of Jewish people. It has since been deleted.

Travone told NBC News that he wasn't anti-Semitic. "It was just an emotional expression I was referring to Lakewood, New Jersey and the horrible drivers of that town and that happens to be mostly Jewish people that live there."

A three year old Girl was niftar after she was struck by a vehicle while riding a tricycle. The child was pronounced dead at the scene R"L. It happened at the corner of 7th street and Forest Avenue in Lakewood. According to reports the child was ridding down a hill when she was hit by a truck.  Lakewood police will issue a statement when information is available.

Nj.com reports The Ocean County Prosecutor's Office said the girl was hit around 12:30 p.m. at 424 7th St. by an Ford F550 pickup. The girl was on a bicycle and was riding down a steep driveway before entering the roadway "without warning", where she was hit by the eastbound truck, the prosecutor's office said.
The driver, a 40-year-old Lakewood man, consented to a search of his cellular device, which showed "negative mresults," the prosecutor's office said. The man, who was not identified, also agreed to provide a blood sample for testing.

Yated: Charge That Trump is a Bigot is Ridiculous on its Face

Recengly some frum  Jewish leaders joined the left and attacked President Trump. These same leaders never said a word about KKK marches during the Obama presidency.
Yated: (last week issue )
The charge that Trump is a bigot is ridiculous on its face. Two of his children married Jews, one of them converted to do so. His grandchildren are Jewish. He always did business with Jews and enjoyed good relations with Jews and Blacks his entire life. In his business, he hired many Jews and in the White House he is surrounded by Jewish aides, conduct unbecoming a neo-Nazi KKK sympathizer.

As the labeling of Trump as a sympathizer of the neo-Nazis, the KKK and other white hate groups, with anti-Trump Republicans joined in the criticism, Trump sought to put the issue to rest on Monday afternoon, telling reporters at the White House, “Racism is evil and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans. Those who spread violence in the name of bigotry strike at the very core of America.”

An inside Look at "Hatzolah " Lakewood's Orthodox Ambulance Squad

From NJ.com some nice positive coverage about Lakewood by Mark Di Ionno. 

"This is what people don't understand about us," said Muller, one the approximately 70,000 Haredi or ultra-Orthodox Jews living in Lakewood. "We're very American in that way. We volunteer. We love our community and we're very involved in our community, like everyone else."
The news out of Lakewood in the past several months has portrayed certain members of the town's Orthodox community has takers, not givers.

A public airing of the high cost of private school busing and private special education for Orthodox Jewish children was followed by the arrest of 26 people charged with welfare fraud. The stories fueled perceptions that the entire Orthodox community is self-serving and insulated.   

But, as anyone following this series of columns on Lakewood has read before, perception and reality are like fifth cousins. Related, but barely.

The Great American Eclipse of 2017: Halachic and Philosophical Aspects

In Lakewood the eclipse will begin at 1:23 and peak  at 2:45:39 pm when the moon covers 73.6% of the Sun. It will be over 4:01 pm.

Do you make a Bracha when you watch a solar Eclipse?
Is it a bad sign or omen?
Why does it happen close to Rosh Chodesh?
What does the Gemara mean when it says  בזמן שהחמה לוקה? 
see HERE at Chakira Journal or see Below 

On Monday, August 21, 2017, millions of people across the United States will experience one of nature’s most dramatic phenomena. For a couple of minutes, the shadow of the moon will block the summer sun and plunge those on the ground into total darkness. In the middle of a summer’s day, the birds will stop singing, sunlight will disappear, and the stars will become visible. The total eclipse will race across the continental United States at a speed of up to 3,000 miles per hour.
As we now understand the phenomenon, a solar eclipse occurs when the moon gets in-between the sun and the earth. When it does, it blocks some of the sunlight and casts a shadow on the earth. A person standing in that shadow (called the umbra) will see an eclipse The time at which the moon is directly between the sun and the earth is also the start of every Jewish month (or close to it, as we will see below). And so it is clear that a solar eclipse can only occur on (or very close to) Rosh Chodesh.
