ReplyDeleteAny update from Igud Horim
ReplyDeleteThere is no such thing as a Lakewood model. Did askanim convince Phil that they controlled coronavirus.
ReplyDeleteNo. Askanim did whatever they had to ,to keep children learning. And that's what counts to us as parents. Let anybody think whatever they want but if the kids are learning, then I am fine. Some people would rather the kids were home, if that meant they could bash the askanim
DeleteWait.... You mean the testing actually stopped the guv from imposing a lockdown on Lakewood? And the askanim were right all Along?
ReplyDeleteChas VSholom that Askonim kept kids in School !
ReplyDeleteWhich Askonim ? the ones who shut down porch Minyanim??
Who ruined Simchas Torah and humiliated the Rabbanim of Corona ??
Those Askonim ??
The Schools are open because We cried our eyes out to Hashem on the Yomim Noraim !!
Thank You Hashem for Our Schools !
ReplyDeleteIf askonmim make a shut down of shulls and schools then they foolish
If askonim keep schools open through some testing tacticv then they are foolish.
I am not pro these askonim but keep it real dude.
You won't win with this guy. He always posts the same thing . Its obvious he has a tremendous hatred for these askonim and no matter what they do, they are bad guys. Even if they might have helped keep my kids school open.
DeleteTurns out the lakewood model to bring down positivity was nothing more than a trick by only testing those who would result as negative. The signs specicaly said that people who have symptoms should not test keping positive results down. But how did that make anyone safer or protect others.
ReplyDeleteAskans love taking credit for things they had nothing to do with. The schools stayed open because Murphy could not shut them down. If he did so he would have had to shut down public schools all over. And even now as the virus rages across NJ schools are all open. The media pushed a narrative that Ocean county is to blame. Well it was hit first badly by the second wave and than it slowed down and moved on to other counties
ReplyDeleteThe askanim did nothing to protect older rebbeim or for the health of the community. They made fun of the virus after purim when people were dying. They wrote articles denying it. They can not be trusted. Their interests are to be puppets for their masters. The community sees through it.
ReplyDeleteRav Yehuda Aryeh Dunner, Rav of Central and a renowned Posek called to the public to accept the upcoming Shabbos ten minutes early for the victory of the United States President, Donald Trump. Rav Dunner said, that "the zechus of bringing Shabbos in early is a very great thing and brings many yeshuos."
ReplyDeleteCan you tell me another Psak from this 'renowned' Posek?
DeleteIf Cuomo wants to reopen the schools, it must be a socialist liberal plot, and we must fight to close them down.
DeleteDon't count your blessings too soon 69 new cases over Shabbos.
