Weather: Sunshine and a few clouds. High 87F. Chance of Rain 20% Humidity 63% UV Index 9 of 10
-BOE Meeting officials call out social media posts referencing Greed and Lakewoodopoly as sowing dissension in the community as criticism grows about school district instability with a planned peaceful protest this Friday in Lakewood.
-Jewish camps submit counter brief to state claims In response to
Jewish parents that the state was infringing and discriminating against their religious rights to have their children in an immersive religious atmosphere, the state suggested they were not discriminating because “the plaintiffs should be content to exercise their religious rights ‘next summer’ or in another, less intensive manner, of defendant’s choosing.” The infringement of the rights of the Jewish camp operators and the parents was only “incidental”, the state wrote in their brief.
Lawyers for the camps pointed out that the state did not suggest that protesters of police brutality and racial justice assemble next summer, or in a more muted fashion, presumably because the state believes such limitations would be significant. A hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, June 30, before the Hon. Glenn T. Suddaby, Chief Judge of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York, based in Albany. (Hamodia)
-BOE Meeting today 7:30 pm

- Gov Murphy postpones indoor dining indefinitely. It was supposed to resume on Thursday but after spikes of Covid 19 in other states driven in part by indoor dining he decided to postpone.
-Peaceful protest planned in Lakewood A Facebook post is calling for a protest against the Lakewood school district and BOE claiming the Lakewood superintendent and BOE are failing our children. The protest is planned for July 3rd at The corner of Clifton Avenue and 9th Street in Lakewood at 5pm. A petition with over 2000 signatures is calling for stability in Lakewood schools after a reshuffling of staff and principals.
-Dr. Fauci A spike in U.S. coronavirus infections is fueled in large part by people ignoring public health guidelines to keep their distance and wear masks. “That’s a recipe for disaster,” Anthony Fauci, told CNN in an interview broadcast on Monday. “Now we’re seeing the consequences of community spread, which is even more difficult to contain than spread in a well-known physical location like a prison or nursing home or meat-packing place.
-Yated Ne'eman on Twitter: A cartoon submission that appeared to equate the tragic death of George Floyd with a policy decision was accidentally published in our paper. It does not meet our editorial standards and should not have gone in. We stand with the black community’s quest for equal justice.

JHS: From Refugee to Royalty: Rav Shneur & Rebbitzin Rishel Kotler
Among the great builders of Torah of the twentieth century were Rav Shneur (1918-1982) & Rebbetzin Rishel Kotler (1923-2015).
At times overshadowed by his illustrious father Rav Aharon, Rav Shneur's accomplishments were wide ranging and impressive in their own right. As a young refugee, he lived by his grandfather Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer in Yerushalayim, arriving in the United States after the war. With his characteristic simplicity and modesty, he'd go on to preside over the exponential growth of the Lakewood Yeshiva following his father's passing. This was in addition to his myriad communal responsibilities, along with his own initiatives such as the opening of a string of Kollels across the fruited plain.
Yeshiva Torasi Umnasi - A Yeshiva in the Poconos for Stranded Bochurim Who Couldn’t Return to E"Y
 |
| Yeshiva in the Poocnos |
Due to the current matzav, hundreds of bochurim who usually spend the better part of the year learning in Eretz Yisrael are stuck on this side of the Atlantic, unable to learn in their respective yeshivos. In a classic show of chazu banei, many of these bochurim have struggled to learn despite the hardship of not being in their normal environment. Phone conferences, hotlines, distance learning are suddenly de rigueur. In response to the growing demand for a semi-return to normal, Rabbi Mattis Rokach and Rabbi Moshe Friedman from Yeshivas Ohel Yaakov in Monsey set out to search for a safe, legal, and workable option. With much siyata dishmaya a locale in Pennsylvania was found that satisfies all of the above. After discussion with health officials and doctors, Yeshivas Torasi Umnasi was officially founded. Over 200 bochurim, who would've been in Eretz Yisrael, imbibing the heilige avirah d'Eretz Yisrael, are learning in a beis medrash together where the vibrant kol Torah rings out once again. The atmosphere is unbelievable; watching these bochurim from all different yeshivos learning

Hamodia: Association of Jewish Camp Owners and Parents File Suit to Open Sleepaway Camps
Hamodia- The Association of Jewish Camp Owners (AJOC) and a group of parents who plan to send their children to these camps are set to file suit on Thursday afternoon to ask the court to grant permission for sleepaway camps to open this summer in New York State.
A request for a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) will follow at the beginning of next week, .. with the hope that a TRO, which would restrain the state from implementing the ban on sleepaway camps, will be issued by the court.
According to Rabbi Yeruchim Silber, Director of New York Government Relations for Agudas Yisrael of America who has been working together with camp owners and parents on this issue, the suit argues that New York State’s decision to forbid camps this year constitutes a violation of the Orthodox community’s First Amendment right and that it inhibits the free exercise of religion.

Ocean County Officials ask NJDOT to Reconsider Decision Not to Widen Route 9
The NJDOT announced last week they will not widen route 9 in Lakewood and Toms River but instead will provide turning lanes and other improvements. The Eagle ridge development was approved based on traffic studies and the widening of route 9.
TR Shore Beat- New Jersey transportation officials have decided against embarking of a widening project of Route 9 in the congested area of Toms River and Lakewood, leading county officials to fume and request reconsideration from Trenton. The county freeholder board adopted a resolution at its June 17 meeting calling on the state to reconsider its decision and move ahead with the reconstruction and widening of the highway, which remains in a one-lane north and one lane south configuration for the majority of its path through the two large towns. Route 9 will likely gain traffic now that a fresh round of toll hikes have been approved for the Garden State Parkway.
“We cannot believe that even after the completion of a study of this area of Route 9 clearly shows widening will greatly improve safety and traffic flow on this road – a major corridor in Ocean County – we have again been told by the state it’s not going to happen,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari. “We are calling on the NJDOT to fund the major improvement project as this is the help we need to bring this important corridor into the current century.”

-Agudah: We respect that Governor Cuomo is forced to make difficult decisions in these difficult times. But his mantra has been to follow the data, follow the science, and follow the law.
Sadly, his decisions regarding overnight summer camps and religious practices fall far short of this ideal.
In light of today’s development, Agudath Israel and other summer camp representatives will consider whatever remaining options may be available to them.
-Assembly man Simcha Eichtenstein:
“We will not allow the Governor’s disastrous decision making to impact the wellbeing of our children,” said the assemblyman. “It is easy to hand out orders from the Governor’s Mansion, but if that is your decision, what is your solution Governor? What is your plan for the thousands of young adults who will be roaming the streets in boredom over the summer months? I refuse to accept a state of chaos and disarray over the next couple of months. I will continue to explore other options for our children so that they can enjoy the upcoming summer months, with safety as our number one priority, including sleepaway camp in other states who have already been approaching us.”

"Regrettably, in our community as well, people feel forced to toe a party line. You don’t hear many askonim advocating for a reopening of schools and stores. Tens of thousands of children are regressing, and nobody sees that as a cause to rally around and remedy. Storekeepers and small businessmen are suffering, yet we don’t hear anyone taking up their cause and pointing out the hypocrisy of what is being perpetrated clearly for political gains".

If you have ever wondered how dictatorships take root in once-great republics, recent occurrences in this still great country could help you understand how it happens. It is beating a dead horse to examine how the fear of a new virus allowed people to willingly give up their rights in the belief that by doing so they were helping to prevent a pandemic from killing millions of people.
Trusting people they had never previously heard of, as well as government, which they rarely trust, citizens of this country, as well as of virtually every country in the world, accepted that they must lock themselves in their homes and cut off human contact. They were told that doing so would flatten the curve of illness and death until it would approach a manageable level. At that point, they would be allowed to return to their normal lives, albeit with safety precautions until a vaccine could be developed.

JHS: Great American Jewish Cities - Pittsburgh
Jewish History Soundbites With Yehuda Geberer
With the growth of the steel industry, Pittsburgh became home to a sizable and prestigious Jewish community. While the Pittsburgh Platform of 1885 gave the city an association with Reform, and Jews had an impact on the local sports scene, immigrants from Eastern Europe along with some impressive Rabbinical and communal leaders laid a solid foundation for the traditional Jewish community.

Lkwd Township To extend PILOT in Cedarbridge Redevelopment for 35 years
An ordnance and resolution for the first reading is scheduled for the Lakewood township committee meeting. Referring An Amendment To The Cedarbridge Redevelopment Plan Pursuant To The Local Redevelopment And Housing Law (N.J.S.A. 40a:12a-1 Et Seq.) To The Planning Board For Review
It will allow the remaining 113 lots in Cedarbridge Redevelopment area to continue and permit applications to make payments-in-lieu-of-taxes (PILOTs) for a period of thirty-five (35) years, for lots within the Cedarbridge Redevelopment Area. The Township reiterates that, it is in order to continue to incentivize investment in and the overall success of the Cedarbridge Redevelopment Area. it is necessary and appropriate to further amend the Redevelopment Plan consistent with this Ordinance in order to better effectuate the redevelopment objectives of the Township.
The ordnance says that the old plan is outdated while the Growth Development Plan was a useful tool in 2002 for providing a conceptual blueprint for the Cedarbridge Redevelopment Area from the standpoint of constructing roads, drainage and utility infrastructure, and providing a framework for future lot division, its purpose has long-been served, as all critical infrastructure has been installed; the broader redevelopment of the Cedarbridge Redevelopment Area has been governed solely by the Redevelopment Plan for the past 15-years; and "any continued reliance on the GDP is outdated and would be inconsistent with the goals of the Redevelopment Plan given changes in market conditions."
