R' Aaron Lang: Lakewood taxpayers should take note of the Jersey City T & E case, the hot issue today in educational funding. I think Jersey City is the model for that which will happen to us soon unless we win in Alcantara. The state removed the 2% tax cap and authorized a payroll tax because Jersey City was not taxing up to it local fair share.

So the Badatz of the Edah Hacharedis (inaccurate, the Badatz did not sign that letter. They printed the words עדה החרדית at the bottom, that's it. They didn't even forge the Dayanim's signatures) is protesting against the Gedolei Yisroel. Sounds about right.
ReplyDeleteThey're complaining he didn't bring a check for them too. Giving to RY is nice, but they want a cut of the action.
DeleteThis מחאה is not from the בד״ץ עדה החרדית. It is from some anonymous person singing off as עדה החרדית. When the בד״ץ posts a sign they always attach the signature of their דיינים and ראב״ד
ReplyDeleteThe photo of the plane is a fake, it was circulating on Twitter, but in reality it is from 2013 and it’s not Afghan refugees but philippine refugees.
ReplyDeleteThen why would some of them be wearing masks?
DeletePhilippine refugees are not leaving Israel or Oman UAE or Saudia.
DeleteAnyway, they're not wearing masks, they're sitting mixed seating without a mechitza and without frequent flyer accounts.
The photo is real why are you quoting fake news. It is from yesterday there were 800 passengers on the plane
DeleteHowever you wish to put it somewhat jarring the visit was
ReplyDeleteand or so it seemed against precedent
second
it might well be the Gedolei Yisroel considered tolerating this visit as a necessity
but hand-in-hand they are quite content there on the other side are those publicly protesting to counterbalance the sentiments ..
Not against precedent at all. This has happened many times before. And the sign printers made a few dollars.
Deleteanyone know the condition of the new covid cases in lakewood? are they serious? or just a cold?
ReplyDeleteThe longer the wave goes, the more overloaded the hospitals will get, and the worse medical care people will receive.
DeleteIt doesn't have to be that way, but unfortunately we've seen this play out before.
We hear that question being asked at the beginning of each new wave. Then a month later we have heard of the people who were niftar r'l, many of them middle aged. Let's daven that won't happen this time, but it's foolish to assume this round will be different with special siyata dishmaya.
ReplyDeleteYT is coming with Alot of people in very close contact. Let's daven that we all stay safe.
DeleteThe vaccine is not foolproof. Do not rely on it. Only if someone actually had the virus, and had antibodies can one be more confident that these variants will not have a bad effect on them. Stay safe!
DeleteYakov davened and prepared for war.
DeleteDaven, but also use seichel.
