What's Next
GreaterLakewood.com - The day after whats next? Understanding the Verdict:
There were 5 counts on Rabbi Eisemann and 4 against the foundation (they are two separate entities).
All 4 counts against the foundation were declared not-guilty.
On counts 1,2, and 4, against R’ Eisemann, the jury said not guilty. Those were the ‘serious allegations’.
On Count 3 and 5, the jury said guilty.
Count 3 was ‘money laundering’, which the defense lawyers argue is not possible to violate unless you’re convicted of count 1,2, or 4. Reason: According to the text definition f the law, ‘money laundering’ is the concealment of the origins of illegally obtained money. But once the jury declared that the money was obtained legally, by virtue of issuing non-guilty verdicts on counts 1,2, and 4, it’s then impossible to have a money laundering charge, which by definition refers to money obtained illegally.

Group to Develop 65 acres of Cedarbridge, Stores and Office Complex
A New York City real estate firm will purchase about 65 acres at the township's Cedarbridge campus located near Pine Street and Cedar Bridge Avenue, APP reports . Somerset development was tapped by the real estate group to develop the property according to the report. Plans for a complex of office buildings and retail space. Pinnacle Group said Zucker will be joined by Meridian Capital Group, a commercial real estate finance and advisory firm, and architect Ian Bader, a partner in Pei Cobb Freed, an international architecture firm, in developing plans for the property. The goal is to create a "better environment than just a building and a parking lot," he added.
Cedarbridge has been designated an Opportunity Zone. Opportunity Zones were created as part of the 2017 federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Investments in new businesses and developments in the zones, which are located in distressed areas around New Jersey, may be eligible for new tax benefits.

Personal Message and Statement by Defense Attorney
Personal message by Rav Eisemann via Matzav.com
“I would like to thank the entire community for helping out to this point, both in ruchniyus and in gashmiyus. I cannot be more thankful to all the people who davened, made kabballos, said brachos, donated, and were nosei be’ol. May Hakadosh Boruch Hu repay you all.
Listen HERE to statement from defense Attorney about the verdict
Statement from Defense attorney Lee – transcribed by GreaterLakewood:
“The most important thing is that it’s a tremendous victory for R’ Eisemann & the entire defense team. What this case was about according to the state, was about the theft of public money that’s what the Attorney General said in his press release. That is what they opened on and closed on. What the jury said loud & clear – there was no theft of public money, no Public money was taken, private money was used and Private money is without restriction, not regulated by the dept of education. So at the end of the day first & foremost this is a big win for Justice & the truth The first day we met he said ‘i never took a dollar from the school, I would never take a dollar from the school,’ and the jury agreed. What they convicted on was first of all legally indefensible and we’ll show that to the judge and if not to this judge, to the appellate division. And once count 3 falls away, count 5 can’t stand either. So at the end of all of this, all the counts will be gone it will all end up in full vindication of R’ Eisemann but the most important part of today – the jury agreed that he never stole public money & the state’s theory was flawed”

Trial Update
-4th day of deliberations Wednesday February 27, 2019 אשר בן חנה פרומט
Refresh for updates
-4:25 pm: Fund is being set up to cover cost of a appeal. First lawyers will file motion to dismiss they believe it's on solid ground for a dismissal. If not they will appeal.
-4:00 pm: Summary by Greaterlakewood.com - Defense will file motion to dismiss the case
Summary:
There were 5 counts against R Eisemann and 4 against the foundation.
All 4 against the foundation were dismissed.
Counts 1,2, and 4 against R’ Eisemann, the jury found not guilty. Those were the ‘serious crimes’. Count 3, which the jury said guilty to, was money laundering which the defense says is only possible if one count either 1,2 or 4 is guilty. But since they were not, they are hoping count 3 will be dismissed.
Count 5 is ‘misconduct by a corporate official” – this is only applicable if one other crime was guilty. In addition to a crime – there is mistrust but without a crime, no mistrust took place!
The defense will now file a motion – based on this – to dismiss the case.
As is, this ruling is better than the plea deal that was offered.
There is a possibility the result would only be a monetary compensation…
Filing a motion to dismiss the charges is costly and funds are needed,

Toms River council adopt Resolution against Hate, Bigotry and Prejudice.
 |
| Photo credit: LNN |
Hamodia.com LAKEWOOD - Despite calls from local leaders and an international group, the Toms River Town Council has said that it will make a broad statement condemning prejudice but will not call out by name Rise Up Ocean County (RUOC), a group that has been widely labeled as anti-Semitic. Last week, The Board of Chosen Freeholders, the five-member board that governs Ocean County, adopted a resolution drafted by the Simon Wiesenthal Center (SWC) calling out RUOC as promoting “vicious and virulent anti-Semitism.”

Ocean Freeholders Label Facebook Group As Anti-Semitic
Patch.com - TOMS RIVER, NJ — An Ocean County group with a growing Facebook page has been denounced by the Ocean County Board of Freeholders, who adopted a resolution on Wednesday calling the site anti-Semitic and urging its administrators to reveal their identities.
"the administrator, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the group's administrators — there are nine, including two who are Orthodox Jews — spend a great deal of time policing the page for comments that are anti-Semitic and removing them
"While the Board of Chosen Freeholders recognize the right of free speech to all Americans, the conduct of the creators and administrators of 'Rise Up Ocean County' is contrary to the goals of American free society and liberty," the resolution reads in part, and goes on to condemn "such hate speech." Administrators of the Rise Up Ocean County Facebook page, which has more than 7,000 members, say their concerns are not about religion, but about the effects of overdevelopment on Ocean County and of fair application of laws.

Why There Are No Bar Mitzvahs in Adar Rishon This Year
Wondering Why There Are No Bar Mitzvahs in Adar Rishon This Year? Rabbi Dovid Heber of the Star K explains. When there are 2 months of Adar the Halacha is that a bar Mitzva boy who was born in adar of a regular year celebrates it on Adar Sheini. This year 5779 is a leap year, however 13 years ago in 5766 was not a leap year therefore any child born between the first and 29th of Adar 5766 will become Bar Mitzva on the corresponding day of Adar Sheini. Therefore no one can become bar mitzvah between the 1st and 29th of Adar Rishon because 13 years ago there was no Adar rishon

Disability Lawsuit continues
Westlake Lawsuit continues
JL- A Judge refuses to dismiss most counts in disability lawsuit, brought by rabbi asking for easier access to religious services.
Yesterday, a judge declined to dismiss most counts against the Westlake Golf & Country Club in Jackson in a lawsuit brought by Rabbi Philip Lefkowitz. He and his sons, who live with him, are handicapped and had been denied accommodation of their disability by Westlake in refusing to allow them to build a screened porch on their house for use as a Sukkah as well as access to a gate that would allow them to attend religious services Read more at Jackson leaks

In Boro Park too, Pediatricians Shift Away From United Healthcare Medicaid Plan
While no official reason was given for UHC’s sudden rate cuts, theories abound, especially as the same phenomenon has occurred over the past year in Lakewood and Williamsburg.
“They’re targeting frum neighborhoods because large families are costing them too much money. It’s not anti-Semitism, but they’re losing money, so they don’t care if they lose these patients,” the billing agent of a major Boro Park practice, who asked not to be named, told Hamodia.
While UHC has serviced thousands in Orthodox centers for decades, the billing agent said that increasing reliance on Urgent Care Centers is a major factor in the change, coupled with UHC’s permissive coverage policies.
Hamodia.com Boro Park - Many Boro Park families have found themselves scrambling for alternative health insurance plans as several local pediatricians have ceased accepting United Healthcare’s community plan over the past few months.
The move is having broad effects on the community, as a large swath of Medicaid recipients have chosen to use the nation’s largest health insurance provider for decades.

Mosdos Belz of Lakewood Charidy Fundraiser
The crown of Torah Jewry in America. How befitting a choice of Belz to build a community, upon such a foundation. The existing Torah infrastructure certainly supported its success. Despite the many naysayers, that deemed it an impossible feat, Belz is a blossoming community. We are witnessing an unbelievable growth; above and beyond all projections. The growth is evident, not only in numbers but rather, in the values, that have been implemented.
A perfect setting with access to many Seforim, and of course the enthusiastic Kol Torah of Yungeleit deeply involved in their learning.
Perhaps the most telling, about the Belzer community, is the Rav Chesed organization.

Rosh Yeshiva and wife Removed from Flight on Baseless Accusation
NEW JERSEY - Hamodia.com A Rosh Yeshivah and his wife were forcibly removed from a United Airlines flight in what they claim was a completely baseless and unsubstantiated accusation by a crew manager.
The couple, who are in their mid-70s, boarded a flight at Newark Airport headed to Amsterdam, from which they had planned to continue to Eretz Yisrael for the wedding of a grandson. Upon entering the cabin, the Rebbetzin approached the cabin manager, known as a “purser,” to ask if she could store her sheitel box in an onboard closet, as she had done on many other flights. The request was denied by the purser, whose first name was “Juan.” He replied that there was no room and that the item had to be placed in the overhead bin.
About 20 minutes before the scheduled takeoff time, the purser approached the Rebbetzin and asked that she stow away a different carry-on item in the overhead compartment. When she asked for a moment to remove a few pieces of reading material, the purser abruptly said, “I’m going to get you off this flight.”

Marijuana should be legalized in the long term in Lakewood
so says the mayor. As the state of NJ prepares to legalize weed and Marijuana 60 towns in NJ have passed ordinances banning the sale of Marijuana. If legalization does happen, these towns would not be able to prevent residents who are at least 21 year old from possessing small amounts of weed and using it in a private residence. But they can prevent marijuana businesses from growing and selling in their limits. In an interview with the Lakewood shopper , Lakewood mayor Ray Coles was asked about Marijuana if it should be sold in Lakewood. The response was that in the long term it should be legalized but a lot of things have to fall into place. There were some proposals to have a area of medical Marijuana but no licenses were issued read interview belowJackson Council Condemns Religious Hate
The Mayor of Jackson and Council President Rob Nixon condemned religious hate, bigotry, stereotyping, scapegoating and an ‘us vs. them’ mentality (see video below). They stressed it is wrong to use children in videos & said it is not what we are about. They stopped short of passing a formal resolution denouncing Rise Up Ocean County.

Letter about Shomrim Cards
From @kolhaolam on twitter Roshei Yeshiva respond to local menahel who inquired about the cards.Although they admire the work of Hashomrim organisation to educate children about the dangers of technology.
Unfortunate the cards were composed not according to our standard and we can not support them at all on the content and spirit of the Hashomrim cards.
Calls for neighboring Towns to Condemn Group
Simon Wiesenthal Center To Hold A Press Conference In Jackson today calling on the council to pass a resolution to “oppose and condemn the activity of Rise Up Ocean County.”
Wednesday February 13th 2019 7:00 PM (30 minutes prior to Jackson Township Council Meeting) Outside the Town Hall Main Meeting Room 95 W Veterans Highway Jackson, NJ
The Jewish Press -
Rise Up Ocean County – a self-described “movement” that began on Facebook about 10 months ago – is calling upon residents of Ocean County to resist efforts of the local Jewish community, particularly in Lakewood, to expand.
The movement, which mainly comprises nine administrators, began when leaders of the group found that county officials were not responding to their concerns, a RUOC representative told The Jewish Press. “We realized that the only way our elected officials would pay attention was if we were louder, with more people speaking up.”
The representative said the group’s goal is rally the public and “do everything in their power to slow and manage the projected growth.” To this end, RUOC plans to release a documentary – “OC 2030” – on February 18 about the deleterious impact it claims the further expansion of the Orthodox community will have.
RUOC consistently denies being anti-Semitic, but many find its Facebook posts and videos unmistakably anti-Jewish. One video, for example features Martin Niemoller’s famous poem “First they came for the socialists…” – which is associated with the Holocaust – over footage of Lakewood Jews. The video urges community members not to be complacent as their land is bought up and to raises their voices before it’s “too late.”
“Any video where the narrator corrupts one of the most widely-recognized Holocaust poems is obviously sending messages that are purposeful in their divisive attitude,” Michael Cohen, East Coast Director of the Wiesenthal Center told the Jewish Press.

BOE Reverses Will outsource transportation after purchasing own buses at a loss
It was back in 2016 that the Lakewood BOE under the state monitor decided to purchase its own bus fleet to transport the students to school. At the time they said it was going to be a savings of $3 Million dollars a year. Fast forward 2 years and now it appears that it ended up costing an additional $3 Million dollars a year. The board hired private auditors that determined they could save about $8 million over 3 years by outsourcing. So the board voted to outsource the transportation to private companies for the next 3 years, and sell its fleet of buses. Bus companies Jays and Seman Tov won the contracts.
BOE members did not approve of the purchase of the buses back in 2016 but were overridden by the state appointed monitor. No word how much money will be recouped from the sale of the district owned and leased buses. Officials said in 3 years they will revisit and decide if to continue with the bids or bring it back in house.

BDE: Harav Shlomo Breslauer Zt"l
Hamodia- With great sadness we report the passing of Harav Shlomo Mordechai Breslauer Zt”l, one of the elder Rabbonim of the Monsey community.
Levaya in Monsey at 4:00pm
Rav Breslauer learned in Bais Medrash Elyon, and was the founder of Beth Tefillah, where he served as Mara D’asra for over fifty years. He was also involved in certifying the kashrus of several food establishments, as well as participating in all community issues.
Many mispallelim, including several gedolei Yisrael, frequented Beth Tefillah due to their serious atmosphere they had for davening and kedushas bais haknesses, which was imbued by Rav Breslauer from the start.
In addition to his rabbanus, Rav Breslauer was a rebbi in Yeshivah of Spring Valley, educating generations of talmidim with his characteristic ehrlichkeit and warmth.

סגולות חשובות ליום ז' באדר – יום פטירתם של משה רבנו ואסתר המלכה
היום יום שלישי בשבת קודש ז' באדר א' תשע"ט יום פטירתו של משה רבנו ע"ה. יום שנכפל בו פעמיים כי טוב אמן
סגולה לפרנסה טובה לקרוא שירת הים
כוח התפילה ביום זה הוא עוצמתי וגדול, בפרט עבור הנשים
יום ז' באדר – יום לידתו ופטירתו של משה רבינו ע"ה, וכן יום פטירתה של אסתר המלכה – מיוחסות סגולות רבות
ועצומות. יום זה מסוגל ביותר לתפילות, וחשוב להשקיע בו את מלוא מרצנו ומחשבתנו. רצוי להדליק נר לכבוד משה רבינו ונר לכבוד אסתר המלכה, ולומר בכוונה גדולה את פרק כ"ב בתהילים, שאותו חיברה אסתר המלכה בבקשה 'ונהפוך הוא'.
כמותה גם אנחנו יכולים לבקש את 'ונהפוך הוא' הפרטי שלנו – בכל מה שלא הולך לנו, ובכל מה שאנחנו מרגישים 'תקועים' בו, ברוחניות וגשמיות. טוב לכוון בתפילה על ה'עמלק' הפנימי שבתוכנו, שלוחש לנו עד כמה אנחנו לא טובים או לא מסוגלים, ולדמיין כיצד אנו רומסים אותו כליל.
כוח התפילה ביום זה הוא עוצמתי וגדול, בפרט עבור הנשים. עד כדי כך שמסופר עליו על הרבי מבריסק, שכשהיה נכנס לבית הכנסת ביום ז' באדר, היה פונה אל הקהל ואומר: "גברים – נא לצאת, נשים – נא להיכנס". וכשהאולם היה נמלא בנשים, פצח בדרשתו וגילה להן את הכוח העוצמתי שבתפילתן, שבכוחו להשיג את 'ונהפוך הוא' ממש כשם שזכתה אסתר המלכה בשעתה.

Assisted Suicide bill advances in Trenton
This past Thursday in Trenton The “Aid in Dying” bill cleared the state Senate Health, Human Services and Senior Citizens Committee in a 6-3 vote following 90 minutes of often tearful, pleading testimony from people who spoke for and against it. New Jersey doctors would be legally permitted to write prescriptions to enable terminally ill patients to end their lives.A group of frum orthodox Jews along with other Catholic groups were on hand to protest (see video) and urged a 'no' vote to the assisted-suicide bill but were not allowed to speak prior to the vote. The Excuse was there isn't enough time. The chairman bent the rules so to prevent them from speaking out on a matter of life and death.
NJ Senator Vin Gopal voted for the bill disappointing many of his constituents.
Sen. Singer did not show up or care to vote by proxy!
