  1. Where is the SIX MILLION DOLLARS in stimulus money BMG was required to give out? None of the yungeleit in my chaburah received their federal grant funds from BMG?? I spoke to yungeleit in other chaburos and they also received nothing. What's going on?!

    2. Sorry.
      Not an excuse.
      A yungerman shouldn't be coming to yeshiva with a smartphone. And certainly shouldn't be going on it during his "coffee break".
      Unless he's not the yeshivaman that he's making himself out to be, which in that case BMG doesn't owe him anything

  3. He is asking for his friend in BMG!
    $6,000,000 is a lot that was supposed to helop- the students and other schools gavve it out. Why didnt BMG?

    2. Someone who is willing to publicly criticize the RY and all rabbanim in a shtut should not be commended even if you agree. A bizayon to the Rosh Yeshiva and to kavod hatorah. WADR if he wants to live in a Hefkervelt he can move to Lakewood or he can move to another town where the rabbanim have a different shitta.

      He quotes not one rav and has the chutzpah to criticize and demean the talmidei chachamim in passaic. Feh!

      Delete
    3. What makes him a rabbi? He is an attorney who is writing a political thesis. Not even sure how and why his paper got to a news blog.

    4. 4:49

      Where did you get this farkrumpte idea that a rov cannot publically express his shittos and argue on other rabbanim.

      Delete
    5. Just because you have the title rabbi does not mean you can write whatever you want. Professionally the writer is a lawyer and he can have an opinion, but the rabbanim he is criticizing and saying are going against the torah include one of gedolei RY in America and some groise talmidei chachamim.

      It is shocking he was given a platform on Matzav and here

      Delete
    6. Don't bother reading it. The editors at Matzav must have been at a simcha and had too much to drink to have allowed this disjointed schizophrenic rant to be put up on their site. In addition they twice put up the piece that Twitter removed from its site for being false making the nonsense claim that the CDC revised their numbers to say that only 6% died from Covid-19.

  8. Are they hiding something?August 31, 2020 at 5:03 PM

    Listen, friends, the high numbers are due to kids getting tested for school. The virus sheds from the nose MONTHS after it is affecting the person. It is not as dangerous as the numbers indicate, however people who are positive should avoid elderly and immunocompromised individuals. NOTHING needs to be shut down, certainly not schools or shuls. May Hashem continue to protect us all.

    1. And you know that how?
      I actually got a hold of the data, they are NOT including those, these are symptomatic people who never had it before.

  9. My heart goes out to all girls who have no school.
    I support keeping schools closed until every girl has a place.
    I am just venting, because every day the schools stay closed, there's a bigger chance they will all be closed for the new wave of Corona. And if schools close down this year I will snap.
    My kids and I will all have a nervous breakdown.
    But if course all those yidishe neshamos who don't have a school are sad and probably also about to snap.
    So again, I support keeping the schools closed an extra day or two, but I am petrified if we keep the schools closed too long they will remain shut for Corona.
