- The Vizhnintzer Rebbe of Bnei Brak spoke to his chasidim about the minhag not to make Kiddush between 6 and 7 in the winter nights because mazal maadim and the Samach Mem is then in control. But this coming week motzei asara beteves “Have Rachmonus on your families and do not be machmir. The Bnei Bayis are hungry. Hose who want to be machmir should say a capital Tehilim and it would be as if they keep the minhag. The Rebbe mentioned that the original minhyag was only for the Rebbes and not for the Chassidim in general. But if you are machmir don’t do it on other’s expense.(submitted)

Chabad propaganda trying to show they have set foot in Lakewood.

DeleteHatzalah of Toms river.
ReplyDeleteWhishing you much hatzlacha in saving lives.
וטוב ונכון מאוד להיות בכל עיר ועיר מתנדבים בעם מן המשכילים להיות נכונים ומוזמנים לכל דבר הצלה שערי תשובה · ג · עא
ReplyDeleteRabinu yonah wrote hundreds of years ago that every single city should have it’s own Hatzala volunteers. Toms River is independent and separate from Lakewood and they truly deserve people who are ready to help for any דבר הצלה
independent? do they have their own schools, yeshivas, playgroups, grocery stores, clothing stores, mikvahs vechu vechu...?
Deleteof course not. they will mooch off of lakewood whatever they can but be their own city when it is geshmak for them.
Hold your horses.
DeleteIt is BH starting. first it is Hatzala then Mikva then Yeshivos and schools. Independent Kehilos are forming. Rabonim shlita will be able to lead. Rabonim will IYH be able to enhance the lives of the tzibbur. We are waiting for the day that rabonim will have a backbone and stand up for the tzibur.
We will then have infastructer to live as bnei Torah with happy healthy families. Schools, Parnassa buisneses Kollelim, mikvaos, bikur Cholim.
With the only one standing above is Hashem and his Torah
Um, it's hard to call patronizing business (including playgroup) mooching
DeleteTomsriver currently is about 40sq miles area populated by frum yidden. There are 15 members of whom most dont work in Tom's River. There are stories of 20 minute response times. This is not about politics and hak, this is about saving lives.
Delete"You say that this is not about politics and hak this is about saving lives."
DeleteReally?
Why were fighting so hard that Toms river shouldn’t have their own Hatzalah organization.
You claim you are concerned about saving lives. Why don't you let more volunteers to Lakewood Hatzalah? Lakewood grew and spread out and you refused to allow more Hatzalah members to help with response time.
it may not be about politics and hock but it is about CONTROL.
Its not healthy for Lakewood organizations to power grab on other communities. In Brooklyn theres a seperate hotzolah for Boro park Flatbush Crown heights williamsburg.
ReplyDeleteLakewood is too busy to take on Toms River
First of all in NY they all are run under the same executive board yes each neighborhood is ran somewhat individually but all have to answer to the executive board
DeleteToms River could also be under the same executive board
DeleteIt will benefit everyone if lakewood Hatzalah will be under the exective board of Toms River
DeleteThere are schools that opened that cater to the Tom's river crowd, most aren't relying on Lakewood schools. A mikva is under construction, a grocery is being constructed, there are play groups. Stop believing the kollel coffee room loshon hora. And Lakewood mosdos are more than willing to come to Tom's river for $$$$.
DeleteGotta hand it to Lubavitch. Their Public Relations skills are unmatched. Here you have maybe twenty Lubavitchers driving cars and having tiny events, but they proudly proclaim Lakewood Celebrating With Lubavitch ! PR firms should learn from this.
ReplyDeleteVos 20? They themselves said 15, so you can rest assured there were about 5. The lesson is, everyone is successful at what they set their lives to. If they set their lives to PR, they will be successful in PR.
DeleteImagine they actually dedicated their lives to kiruv instead of PR, how successful they would actually be.
You almost don't see Lakewood guys as in Reb aron's Z'l Talmidim in Lakewood either. Maybe there is some remnants on 6th & 7th Street right by nine and going a block or two west. Lakewood is a joke compared to even Reb Shneur's days....
ReplyDeleteIf you want to go to the Lakewood of today's generation then move to Cleveland and devote your life to Torah in Cleveland.
DeleteThis was the original Lakewood made for people coming to devote their lives to Torah and ruchnius that sadly has gone down the drain and become a town full of gashmius and tumah that would not have been allowed into a Lakewood torah home 20 years ago.
Very sad that we have stooped so low and put our frumkeit and ruchnius last after our gashmius and pleasures etc....
Cleveland? HUH?
DeleteCleveland today is a town of torah and simplicity with a growing frum torah community and even free school vouchers to pay for your private school education paid for by the state.
DeleteOther then the vouchers this is what the original Lakewood NJ Torah community That Rav Aharon Kotler ZT''L started and it's sad and such a shame what this town has turned into. It is now Brooklyn NJ and has R"L lost its devotion of being a town set aside for torah like Rebbe Akiva Made the city of Betar spared from the Churban habayis to devote it to a city of torah.
We'll BMG buildings and thousands of talmidim might be in Lakewood but the kedusha of just devoted torah with no gashmius has been lost R"L
Go Browns!
DeleteYou might be right that Lakewood isn’t the same as the old days but there are still thousands of Bnei Torah that dedicate their lives to Torah and live very simply. Come visit any of the Batei Medrash of Bais Medrash Govoha and you’ll see a huge oilam of Yeshivaleit knocking away Bhasmada. There are 3 times more simple yeshivaleit in Bais Ahron alone than in the entire Cleveland. Instead of focusing only on the gashmiyus that has permeated Klal Yisroel at large and in Lakewood, maybe focus on the beautiful things we have here.
DeletePeople and groups need to feel relevant and that they are accomplishing something some don't by developing depth others do it by propagating shallowness on everyone else and constantly tloting their horns because they feel empty and internally unfulfilled and so their way of convincing themselves that they really have an inside and believe in what they believe in is going around all day and trying to convince everyone all day and throwing into their faces their way of living which they don't even believe themselves and know deep down and not so deep deep down that it is all shallowness and an excuse not to really learn and commit to really breaking themselves their Taivos and Retzonos etc etc
ReplyDeleteNobody who is breathing through a mask can say that long run-on sentence.
DeleteThat is quite selfish of you, you should wear a mask to protect other people
Covid testing in bmg even for those previously tested
ReplyDeleteAnybody remember when this gashmeiyus run started in lakewood and how it started?
ReplyDeleteIt started when kolell was open for all and people with Brooklyn lifestyle moved and settled in lakewood.

Interesting piece by Thomas Friedman in today's Times. He said that as Trump's power diminished, he will get more extreme and more outrageous (as if that were possible), and extremist very often are imprudent enough to fall of the cliff.
ReplyDeleteThe problem is, all the Republics that have put country first, constitution above the cult-like following, where will they go? He speculates that they will form a separate caucus in Congress, perhaps even spilt the party. This might not be far-fetched. You had the Mugwumps and Stalwart Republican at the end of the nineteenth century. Then TR's Bullmoosers split the party in 1912.
Also, take note (all of you who think Trump is a conservative) that Trump wants everyone to get $2,000 on the stimulus, almost the exact position that the Democrats have been taking.
The problem is the proximity to Brooklyn and Manhattan.
ReplyDeleteIn places like Cleveland even Balei Batim and Modern Orthodox live basic wholesome Lifestyles with out al the frills
Ur 100% correct I am not sure why everyone including myself moved to Lakewood.I grew up in Montreal and moved to Lakewood 21 years ago when O got married but I can say without a doubt that the quality of life in Montreal is so much better and simpler.
DeleteMost of the original Lakewood residents and the yungerleit learning today married in Lakewood are all here for the same reason. They started off here as a bochur learning in BMG and then boruch Hashem got engaged and wanted to continue learning in Kollel after they got married so they stayed in Lakewood. This goes back to over 60 years ago even to the days of Rav Aharon Kotler ZT''L.
DeleteOn the other hand very few moved to Lakewood just for the sake of their children getting a frum torah chinuch as there are so many other torah communities such as Brooklyn and Monsey and Montreal etc... That have amazing frum torah chinuch schools for all ages.
The sad truth of Lakewood today is that this has all turned around and now people are moving to Lakewood to flip their million dollar Brooklyn home for a 650K Lakewood duplex (which shouldn't be priced so high and unaffordable for the Lakewood community and yungerleit to buy a home, but that's for a different topic) and pocket for themselves 350K.
Very sad.
May we all do Teshuva ASAP together as a nation
Brooklyn?!
ReplyDeleteCheck around LA, Toronto, and Monsey far more than anyone from Brooklyn
