We Need to Realize we Are in Golus

At the Q&A session of the Agudah convention The roshei yeshiva were asked about the Torah approach to rising antisemitism in America. Rav Brudny said that we need to realize we are in Galus and be thankful to our host country. He than lamented those politicians that are the faces of the impeachment proceedings  targeting the president from when he was elected. What they are doing is causing hate and antisemitism against Yidden in America. He alluded to the video clip far-right Christian talk show  who has posted a viciously antisemitic rant about the current presidential impeachment battle in the US Congress. Pastor Rick Wiles called a “Jew coup” Addressing the impeachment proceedings currently underway against Trump, on his talk show last Monday.

An Altruistic Rant; for Lieberman, a kick in the Pants

By: Zion-Nisht Kain'aar

 Years ago, Benny Begin, deserted by his party faithful ruefully remarked, אני חזן בלי בית כנסת!

Last week, unbeknownst to him the Rebbe of Satmar played the role of Chazzan
to the entire Knesset and others with a fire and brimstone drasha, about inequity in ארצינו
.הקדושה
Apparently, Yisrael Beiteinu’s leader was traumatized by the polemic – by Sunday he still hadn’t gotten over it. He remarked:
רק באיראן אפשר לשמוע דבר כזה, שמדברים נגד המדינה, נגד חיילי צה"ל ונגד החכי"ם החרדים בעצמם. אם הוא היה נואם נגד ארצות הברית ונגד צבא בארצות הברית, היו מעיפים אותו בלי לחשוב פעמיים.
"Only in Iran will one hear [i.e. such incendiary talk] such as this – to speak against the medinah, חיילי צה"ל ,and against chareidim chavrei Knesset.
Were he to speak [in America] against the U.S. and its army, they’d deport him without thinking twice".

Mr. Lieberman should blame himself first. For the longest time, he stirs the pot and stokes the fires of intense dislike among Israelis against Torah,  ר''ל and what he calls "Messianic Chareidim."

Witness his rhetoric:
"ליצמן וסמוטריץ שאומרים שיפעלו לסגור את המערך של התחבורה בגוש דן בשבת – אנחנו נפעל בדיוק
ההיפך, שגם תושבי אשדוד, נתניה, ואשקלון יוכלו להגיע למוקדי הבילוי."

Litzman and Smotritz want to close down transportation in Gush Dan for Shabbos – we’ll be proactive to exact the opposite [ר''ל] and permit Ashdod, Netanya and Ashkelon to have services available to reach venues of entertainment.

Torah supersedes Avigdor Lieberman’s aspirations. Since the inception of the State, there has been a status quo in place – Shabbos is a day of rest, without any public transportation – decades before this totalitarian made it out of the U.S.S.R.

If you incite hatred, there’s going to be pushback. In Russia the rules for a game of dodgeball may vary, but worldover, there’s one standard rule: In Chinese it’s called,
 אז מען ווארפט די באל, ווארפט מען צוריק

 If you lash out at K'lal Yisrael’s heritage, someone’s going to return the favor,
.הרבה שלוחים למקום, this time a hearty yasher koach goes to the Admor Reb Zalman Leib shlita- גם ברוך יהיה!

Lakewood BOE Reneged on settlement

R' Aaron Lang wrote on Twitter that the Lakewood BOE reneged and did not approve the settlement they reached to give him back his teaching job. Even had the board ratified it he still would have lost $18,000 from last year since losing status as senior teacher.

Back in August the board  voted to demote and transfer R' Aaron Lang a BMG alumnus and Lawyer, from his teaching job at the high school to a 8th grade teachers position.  Mr. Lang filed an affidavit claiming the demotion has to do with his lawsuit against the state to provide  more funding for the Lakewood school district since he subpoenaed district officials to testify in the case.

Earlier this month R' Aaron Lang supposedly got his old teaching position back after going to the Public Employment Relations Commission and reached a settlement. The Lakewood school district  was expected to give him  back the high school job for the 2020-21 school year.
Today he wrote that the school reneged on the settlement and that he confirmed this with the superintendent. see what he wrote on Twitter below:

Lakewood, NJ: Failure to Vaccinate or Vaccine Failure?

Anti Vaxxer Article by Mr. Justin Steiner of Lakewood posted origianly on Childrens health Defense .org (Justin Steiner is a pseudonym for the author who lives in Lakewood, NJ and prefers anonymity given the current controversy over vaccination.)

  On November 14, thousands congregated at the National Mall in Washington DC the V.I.E. (Vaccine Injury Epidemic) Event, calling on legislators to hear us out. But was anyone listening?

Apparently not in New Jersey.

In a letter dated November 14th, Senator Bob Menendez sent a letter to Mark Zuckerberg lamenting that New Jersey’s measles outbreak last winter, “has been fueled, in part, by misinformation about vaccine safety spread via Facebook ads”.

I live in Lakewood, where most of the NJ measles cases occurred. Early last winter, there were 30 documented cases of measles in Ocean County.  Everyone recovered without incident and no serious complications were reported, but the Lakewood “outbreak” made national news and was used to amplify fears over what is a generally benign virus and create panic both within the community and throughout the state.  Additionally, the outbreak was used to promote a sneaky legislative amendment that seeks to abolish religious exemptions in New Jersey. As winter approaches this year, it’s worth reviewing the facts on the ground.

Eagle Ridge GDP Application Approved

After a lengthy application process 30 hours of testimony the Lakewood Planning board approved the general development plan for The Parke development at Eagle Ridge Golf course.

Attorney for the residents said it will be challenged in superior court

The board voted on a motion to approve with some stipulations for improvements on future developments.
The attorneys for both sides made closing statements. The board deliberated for 30 minutes and members pointed out how Lakewood and the fairways enclave developments used to be wooded pristine areas and that they miss the golf course as well but now times have changed. Lakewood is now more condensed and this is the Lakewood we live in. The board said they take both sides and concerns into consideration.  On issues of storm water and traffic the board applauded the attorney for the residents to bringing it to their attention otherwise it would have been a potential flaw. As far as traffic the first 3 phases are clear but the board would like to focus on the outside plan.

There were the conditions:
The roadways should follow the masterplan recommendations
There should be one lane in and 3 lane outs on Augusta blvd giving a left and right turning lane
Cross street must be widened to have turning lanes from rt 9 to E Veterans as long as its  consisting  with county improvements and design before issuing phase 1 co's
A traffic signal be installed at the Augasta blvd intersection prior to phase 2 co's
There should be a plan for Cross street to be dualized at phase 3
Before phase 4 there should be a plan for a second entrance into the development but not mandated only reserving the right to require
There should be a fiscal impact report prior to each phase
All storm water matters should be addressed before all phases.

Netanyahu Urged To Stand His Ground

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was urged to stand his ground Thursday against an “outrageous” slew of corruption allegations, with political commentator Mark Levin backing him to fight what he called a “corrupt investigation.”Levin took to Twitter to urge Israel’s leader not to back down:
The harsh and severe indictment filed against Netanyahu came while he is still serving as prime minister. This is an unhealthy situation, one that is bad for the government.

American Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah Issues Kol Korei Regarding kedushas Shabbos

This shabbos several municipalities in the Gush Dan region of Eretz YIsrael have officialy decided to run the public transportation systems on shabbos, which imcludes Tel Aviv, Givatayim, Ramat Hasharon and Kiryat Ono. In Response the MoOetzes of Agudas YIsrael is calling on everyone to increase kedushas shabbos.

At this time, when our brothers and sisters in Eretz Yisroel need rachamei Shomayim to protect them from malicious enemies, rachmana litzlan, it is shocking to hear that there are some within Klal Yisroel who seek to profane the precious gift of Shabbos. Every Jewish heart should feel anguish over what is happening in the palace of the King. Our tefillos are always that those wayward sons who stray from Torah return to their Father and to mesoras Yisroel. But the mandate of the hour is for all Jews faithful to Torah and mitzvos to strengthen ourselves regarding kedushas Shabbos, to have it elevate our lives and beautify the path of Hashem we tread.

2 Zip Codes of Most Amazon sellers in the USA are Borough Park, Brooklyn and Lakewood, NJ

 The zip codes with the 2 most Amazon sellers in the USA are Borough Park, Brooklyn  and Lakewood, NJ. 11219 zip code in Borough Park, Brooklyn, New York is the single most populous zip code. 08701 zip code in Lakewood, New Jersey is next

Article from Marketplace pulse - 47% of the top Amazon.com sellers are based in the US, and 38% are based in China, according to Marketplace Pulse analysis of the top sellers whose business addresses can be reliably determined. Brooklyn, New York hosts the zip code with the most Amazon US-based sellers, and Shenzhen is home to a third of Chinese sellers on Amazon.

Top 10,000 sellers on Amazon.com were considered because, as a group, they represent the majority of the marketplace GMV. Each seller in the group has yearly sales exceeding $1 million. The Amazon.com marketplace has over a million active sellers; however, many of them only sell a few products a month. Among US-based sellers, most are based in California, representing 22% of US sellers. Other common locations include New York, Florida, and Texas. These four biggest states make up 50% of US sellers.

11219 zip code in Borough Park, Brooklyn, New York is the single most populous zip code. 08701 zip code in Lakewood, New Jersey, and 91789 zip code in Walnut, Los Angeles County, California, come next. Borough Park is home to one of the largest Orthodox Jewish communities outside Israel; the prospect of building a business on Amazon has led to a boom across the Orthodox Jewish community in New Jersey and New York.

The "Rub Out" Do You Have to Rub it in?

By Isser Harel
Har Herzl - Jerusalem

RE: Avigdor Lieberman- A Spitemaster, in the land of Bilk and Money

A Bellicose kingmaker, his idle threats  holds Israel's  comatose govt (at the moment) at bay.
Yisrael Beiteinu's chieftain runs Israeli politics like a Russian car service - when you call to cancel the ride, the dispatcher yells back at you into the receiver, I know who you are! We'll never take you again!

In a few weeks we will read the Torah portion of פוטיפר שר הטבחים unlike the rest of us, about 10 days ago, Mishpacha magazine moved the clock ahead with a cover story about the head of the mossad;- his charisma and cunning - will he pivot into politics?

When you think about what he does for Parnassah, it gives you the Heeby Jeebies feeling, because even if arguebly he is מציל נפשות still he's not the person you have in mind when you daven על הצדיקים ועל החסידים in שמנה עשרה.

Well deserved mockery should be heaped on whoever decided to publish this piece, because:
1. The process of elimination this organization employs, maybe a necessary evil but why glorify the enabler as a role model?
2. Their seal, or imprimatur is, in Talmudic parlance, מזויף מתוכו , it reads, בעין תחבולות יפול עם without tactics the nation shall fall, this means if we take care of business we will be safe and secure. In other words our destiny is up to us. Instead, the reality is the  inescapable truth אם ה׳ לא ישמור עיר שוא שקד שומר the only one above decides everyone's fate.
3. If you expedite your goals by transforming Bnos Yisrael into Bnos Midyan R"L  [והמבין יבין] then we are not the Jewish people at all.

Why must kids and impressionable teenagers read about someone who's proud of this unseemly stuff?

The editorial board of this Jewish "Weakly" can all use a transmission flush, or Jiffy Lube of honest genuine Yahadut.
You've got to realize that "The Mastery of Brisk" "Pesach in Beijing"  & Mossad all in 1 publication is plain insanity - The inability to sort things out!

Girls Still Not in School

It's November, Chanukah is in 6 weeks you would hope not to report because it doesn't make sense, it can't be true. Unfortunately  THERE ARE 8 GIRLS STILL NOT IN HIGH SCHOOL.
Every time you think it won't happen again it seems to be a yearly recurring problem in Lakewood that stretches out until 3-4 months into the school year until Chanukah.
Blame can go around and around but if everyone involved cared, all girls can be placed in no time.

Hamodia: Full Report on Trump Fundraiser, Raised more Than $3.5 Million

Hamodia -NEW YORK -
"When the Russia collusion story turned out to be a “hoax,” he said, the Democrats got a new one – impeachment; when this is over, they’ll move on to another." 

An Orthodox Jewish fundraiser in Manhattan Tuesday for President Donald Trump’s America First Action SuperPAC raised more than $3.5 million.

Four hundred people participated in the event, arranged by Monsey philanthropist Lazer (Louis) Scheiner at the InterContinental New York Barclay, at 48th Street and Lexington Avenue. The event literature said it was hosted by a group called the Patriotic Alliance of Jewish Americans, which described itself as “unrelated to partisan politics and beyond the political divide of Republicans and Democrats or Independents,” with a mission statement of “showing gratitude for policies and actions which benefit the Jewish People.” The literature said the event sought to “show appreciation” to Trump, as “never before have Jews, here and in Israel, had such a loyal friend and supporter in the White House.”

Traffic unacceptable... only for Cedarbridge

 Lakewood residents sat in heavy traffic this week during the morning rush because of construction on Cedarbridge avenue. The LPD issued an alert  to motorist to "try to avoid the area" notifying of the construction on Cedarbridge Ave  between Avenue of the States and Shenandoah Drive. The Mayor reportedly was notified about the traffic a few days later and personally went to check it out he said that the traffic was unacceptable (tls) and ordered the East bound construction halted and that work be done at night.

First, there is no alternate route for motorist to take by avoiding the area, but more so, it speaks of how out of touch the politicians are. Do they not care about the daily traffic that Lakewood residents sit in each and every day in other parts of town! was anything done for the ongoing construction on Sunset James street for years on end. The daily parking lot on route 9, Cross street and Prospect street?


Why was this construction project approved in the first place during the morning rush on a main artery of Lakewood ?

Sukkos to Remember for Kosher Retail and Travel

Kosher Today - Lakewood NJ..
Theg growing kosher community has a myriad of options for shopping, including branches of such stores as Gourmet Glatt, Evergreen, Season’s, and Bingo as well as many long-time local stores. Yet, Lakewood residents spoke of crowded stores and long checkout lines in the days before the recently concluded holiday of Sukkot. These scenes repeated themselves in many stores in Brooklyn as well as Monsey. In a survey of kosher retailers, sales on average were said to have increased by 8% – 10% with some saying that they experienced double-digit growth. “There were many meals during the holidays which always is good for business,” said one retailer. Many of the stores said that they experienced sporadic shortages, specifically on some meats and in the dairy case.

On Twitter  "Superintendency is the GANSTELACH’S reward for subservience, flattery & status quo, in short the reward for mediocrity. Demotion is punishment for vision, innovation & success, in short the punishment for leadership. If the GANGSTELACH cared about the olam, opposite would be true"

Is President Trump Coming to the Siyum Hashas

Rumors swirling on social media and coffee rooms that President Trump might attend the siyum Hashas at Met-life stadium. According to reports in the Israeli press presidents son in law Jared Kushner has reached out to siyum organizers in Agudah on the possibility that Trump may show up to the event. These rumors have not been verified or dispelled, some even suggesting it was meant to increase sales and build up  excitement.
 It's hard to believe the President will spend New years day 2020 in a cold outdoor stadium while he can vacation and tweet from the comfort of his home in Florida, but with trump you are always one tweet away from a big surprise or in his own words, Fake News.

Hakoras Hatov for Lakewood Committeeman

Lakewood Committeeman R' Isaac Akerman is running on the Republican Ticket for township committee known as one of the most popular public servants helping yechidim and the klal looking out for everyone's best interest. He received the endorsement of Roshei yeshiva, Vaad and Rabbonim.  Las year the incumbent committeemen  ran  uncontested and the Vaad and Igud wrote strong letters of support as Hakoras Hatov to our elected officials asking everyone to go vote.
This year too let us show our Hakoras hatov to R' Isaac Akerman for all he's done for Lakewood  throughout the years as a public servant, with Mesiras Nefesh and distinction. Reb Isaac has served close to a decade on the township committee and  stands out for his accessibility, honesty and the sincere, humble manner in which he relates to each individual constituent. Guided by Daas Torah at every juncture with an achrayus for the klal, take a few minutes to vote for Reb Issac in appreciation and support to continue working on our behalf.
