Covid19 Update: Why We Still Need Social Distancing Now
From a Lakewood Pediatric practice email sent to their patients
5/21/20 Why We Still Need Social Distancing Now
B’chasdei Hashem, the situation in Lakewood is much better now than it has been at any time since the COVID-19 Pandemic began. New cases of COVID-19 infection in our Kehilla have, B’H, dropped drastically — to the point that it may seem like the illness is out of our Kehilla.
This has many people asking a similar question:
In fact, the COVID-19 virus and illness is not prevalent right now in Lakewood. Everyone can see that our Tefillos and Hishtadlus have had a great impact. However, even though we do not see the illness amongst us now, it is definitely not entirely gone. The COVID-19 virus still poses a great danger for our Kehilla were it to flare up again — even briefly.
While there are specific ways that we can responsibly loosen some of the restrictions on ourselves, it is important to understand what is happening now, what could happen, and what we expect to come.
Here are two key points:

This has many people asking a similar question:
“If the virus is not in Lakewood anymore, why do we need to continue
these drastic restrictions? Why can’t things go back to normal, to the way it
was before COVID-19? How long are we supposed to be locked down like this?!”

While there are specific ways that we can responsibly loosen some of the restrictions on ourselves, it is important to understand what is happening now, what could happen, and what we expect to come.
Our responsible actions as individuals now — while still very difficult for us —
may likely mean the difference between life and, Chas V’Sholom, death
for vulnerable members of our Kehilla.
Here are two key points:
Rosh Chodesh Sivan a gutten chodesh!
ויחן שם ישראל נגד ההר -כאיש אחד בלב אחד
Rosh Chodesh Sivan is distinguished as the day on which the Jewish people arrived and camped before Har Sinai. May we have that same achdus as we ready for kabbolas haTorah.
חדש עלינו את החודש הזה לטובה ולברכה. ותתן לנו חיים ארוכים. חיים של שלום. חיים של טובה. חיים של ברכה. חיים של פרנסה. ונאמר אמן״

Trump Calls On Governors To Reopen Houses Of Worship "I Will Override the Governors"
The president called it an “injustice” that churches, synagogues and mosques aren’t open.
President Donald Trump on Friday announced that he was designating churches, synagogues and mosques as “essential places that provide essential services” as the nation continues to combat the coronavirus, despite having little legal sway over state governance.
“Some governors have deemed liquor stores and abortion clinics as essential, but have left out houses of worship. It’s not right,” Trump said. “So I’m correcting this injustice by calling houses of worship essential.” The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is expected to issue guidance to places of worship on how to reopen safely. “If they don’t do it, I will override the governors,” the president threatened.

A Tax Increase At The worst Possible Time
The Lakewood township committee voted to raise taxes for the second year in a row for the municipal portion the school board also raised taxes recently which will cost taxpayers between $300 - $500 annually. Committeeman Issac Ackerman was the only one who voted NO.all other 4 voted for the tax increase. .Officials did not comment or say anything when they voted on the budget.The mayor responded to a question that was sent in in which he acknowledged that raising taxes now is probably at the worst possible time
Question sent in : Why are you giving millions of dollars of non mandated services to the public schools when you are raising taxes beyond the 2% cap I have to pay for non mandated services and im paying twice for others. They mismanaged the money they asked for 1.3 last year for sports and didnt even use $500,000 of it they just rolled it into this years budget so even if they are mismanaged or.. have extras they dont have to officially ask twice..
With all the building in town why do you keep raising the taxes?
our tax bills are getting worse and worse each year and its becoming affordable for us tax payers.

Info: Indoor Minyanim and Playing Outside
From A Lakewood Doctor to his patients
Davening Inside a Building or Shul with a Minyan
Q. When the Poskim permit indoor minyanim again, is there anything that we would need to know?
A minyan indoors is entirely different than a minyan outdoors with respect to the potential for the COVID-19 to spread from person to person. The air inside a room has the potential to be filled with the invisible virus if an infected person or people spend time in the room.

Agudah Responds to Slander About Shul Guidelines
The Agudah, today, has released the attached letter signed by three senior members of the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah, Rabbi Shmuel Kamenetsky, Rabbi Dovid Feinstein, and Rabbi Aharon Feldman, for purposes of clarification.
In English Translation:
We write in response to slander and to publicly declare that the Guidelines released by the leadership of Agudath Israel of America – on the subject of how and when to reopen the doors of our shuls and batei medrash for tefillah in a way that is in accordance with the law and in which there is no danger of the further spread of coronavirus – were fully accepted by us and were with the approval of the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah. The rumors that the leadership of Agudath Israel acted on this of their own discretion are complete fabrications.
It is appropriate to emphasize that all the activity of the Agudah’s leadership under the direction of Rabbi Chaim Dovid Zwiebel are for the sake of Heaven and are performed after consultation with gedolei Torah.

Cream Cheese Shortage for Shavuos Averted
Kosher Today reports - A major shortage of whipped cream cheese was averted this week when Norman’s launched Whipped Cream Cheese in time for the upcoming Shavuos holiday (May 29-30). News reports of a major shortage of the essential cream cheese turned out to be false thanks to the introduction of the creamy spreadable product by Norman’s. The Norman’s launch came when J&J, a major Cholov Yisroel producer announced that it faced a lack of manpower to keep up with the huge demand for the cream cheese. The company promised to increase supply in the near future, according to the Boro Park 24 Website.
According to kosher food executives, although the food supply was relatively stable throughout the Covid crisis, there were spot shortages similar to the cream cheese either as a result of plants which cut back on manufacturing or the lack of imported items, particularly from China where kosher

Ateres Shlomo is now the first yeshiva allowed by the Health Ministry to return to full functionality, following two weeks of learning in “capsules”, small groups of students in outdoor areas. During his drasha, Rav Sholom Ber Sorotzkin
emotionally declared the unforgettable words, “On the day that our yeshiva reopened, the pandemic stopped!”

Agudah Statement on Schools, Synagogues, and Camps in New York State
Yesterday, a Jewish school in Brooklyn, NY was found hosting students learning in apparent violation of Governor Cuomo’s Executive Order. While Agudath Israel of America neither runs nor controls any yeshivos, if any yeshiva violated the Executive Order as it stands, there are no excuses for such behavior. Period.
That said, this incident speaks to a larger issue. Courts in North Carolina, Kentucky, and Kansas have struck down Executive Orders that shuttered churches, on the grounds that such orders unlawfully prohibited the free exercise of religion. Yeshivos in our community serve both educational and religious functions, as they transmit our core religious values. Moreover, children have been home for months. Orthodox families tend to be larger, and many live in small, urban apartments. The mental health toll of this pandemic on children and parents alike has been crushing.

They Call It Chillul Hashem and Kiddush Hashem
Excerpts from an Article in last week issue of Yated Ne'eman written by Rabbi Avrohom Birnbaum - May 6, 2020 "Covid19 The frum Media Glossary" Read full article at Yated.com
Those who call themselves “frum media” and, due to a combination of sheer ignorance and a desire to bait people to click, cause irreparable damage to Hashem and His people. Most are online “news” sites and blogs, both in English and in Hebrew, but they periodically exist in print media, as well....
"There are both cardinal and secondary offenders in this area. Cardinal offenders shamelessly post anything that will bring people to their website, regardless of whether it is true or false, wrong or right. They generally also bandy about righteous-sounding terms that are usually used incorrectly and are misleading.
A few examples of such terms are “chillul Hashem,” “kiddush Hashem” and, in use of late, “eivah.” Of course, universal terms like anti-Semitism are also thrown around without thought as to how they are defining the term.
Chillul Hashem and Kiddush Hashem
Ever since we were small children, we have been admonished by teachers, parents and figures of authority that when venturing beyond our own neighborhoods, we should try to make a kiddush Hashem and not cause a chillul Hashem.
