  1. Why are we eating Chulent on Thursday night? We should keep Shabbos food for Shabbos. Eat hot dogs, or peanut butter sandwiches, pretzels or baked ziti during the week.

    Keep the Shabbos in the Shabbos food!

    4. Thursday night Chulent is not shabbos Chulent.
      Everything may seem to be the same except the Taam.
      Come out tonight and discover What a Shabbos Chulent is, so different. Finally you'll start tasting a taam shabbos in all your foods you eat on shabbos koidesh.

  2. These distributions are for those whose children are not receiving lunch in school, right?
    Who are those people? All children are in school, are they not? Are some schools closed?

    1. Nothing to be puzzled about
      There are tens of thousands of children under the age of 5 who are not in school. There are children who are learning at home or in quarantine.
      The distributions ae also for weekend boxes for all children that are in school are eligible for the days not in school from Friday- Monday

    1. Country Yosi once asked, What's the difference between a yeshiva bochur and a married man?
      Answer: A yeshiva bochur has chulent Thursday nite, Leil Shabbat, and Shabbat day.
      A married man has chulent Shabbat day, Sunday and Monday.

  6. There are at least twenty elementary school kids that are not in school here in Lakewood. There are an additional group of kids forced into Treif-feeding schools due to nonacceptance by schools in Lakewood.

    1. There are no treif-feeding schools. Unless they give chulent on Fridays.

      The public school in Lakewood gives Kosher food to religious Jewish students, as well as halal to religious moslems.

  9. trump is tweeting crazy stuff without any proof baking it up. It justs takes away from any credibilty.

    1. The proof is in the several hundred affidavits signed under penalty of perjury. Are you incapable of reading legal briefs?

    2. Here's one sworn affidavit

    3. I read some affidavits, and they don't pass any credibility test. They may be sworn affidavits, but they are still nonsense, and they do not stand any chance of overturning anything. As every judge who saw a case has concluded. They have laughed these cases out of court.

  10. I don't understand. The apartment building on 7th and Madison is up and running. If they would not receive this tax abatement, the capitol is still down. Why should they get the abatement? How does that make any sense? What was their leverage?
    If someone offered to knock down a building and build something better, conditioned on a tax abatement, that would make sense. But here it doesn't.

    1. I couldn’t agree more! So angry!

  11. The mayors reasoning does not pass the smell test with that logic the whole town should have an abatement there's got to be other reasons.

  13. Once again- the township does favors for the developers on the back of the people!! These developers did not take a loss on building prime apartments or chateau. They are full with renters. This means that the homeowners who are struggling to make due- will end up paying for millionaires. Shame on the township! Shame on the people who put them into power!
