ReplyDeleteATTENTION mothers today is not the right time to shmooze with the bus drivers. Let the kids get on the bus and wave them off to school. Traffic is bad but the 2 minute welcome talk holds up the entire block
ReplyDeleteI don't know of a single mother that reads this blog. You should post that on betweencarpools.
DeleteYou dont know a single mother who reads this? You seem to know allot of mothers, and which blogs they read. Maybe the the next time your shmoozing with the many "mothers that you know" ask theme not shmooze with bus drivers
DeleteAgreed The husbands will tell the wives
ReplyDeleteCould you imagine if you added a 15000 square foot shul building in middle of the busiest street with no parking to all the WG bus stops? Can’t even imagine what that would do to traffic there!
ReplyDeleteMost people in Westgate walk to shul
DeleteMost people in Westgate walk to shul?!?!?! Where do you live? I live in Westgate and most of us drive to shul.
DeleteThey did it already - Rupshits has been there for a few years. Why are you suddenly waking up to the problem now?
Deleteoh. now i understand why they don't allow shuls to be built in WG. Thanks for explaining it to me.
DeleteAha! So THAT’S the reason the lawyer was hired to stop a shul. It also explains the attitudes of the people that hired the lawyer. Of course, all in the name of SAFETY, lishaim shamayim.

DeleteShul
What could be so bad? Let them build? What's the problem?
Having everyone just build whichever as a
precedent
would be disastrous
which has led to the chaos over this whole region as well as many other places
If the problem is a shortage of drivers how is a school buying a school bus going to help?
ReplyDeleteEVERYONE SHOULD BE TESTED!

DONT YOU DARE MASK THE KIDS
ReplyDeleteThe governor already did...
DeleteA few people hired a lawyer to make sure an illegal building was not built. I don’t understand the tzad that this should have been allowed. It’s also amazing how they completely ignored their neighbors for years and now they suddenly have huge tainos on them. Until today they Mach avek their tainos and then are upset that they tried stopping the shul which agav was illegal.
ReplyDeleteAs an outsider I wonder why I would support the pro illegal shul camp. Aderaba please explain it to me.
ReplyDeleteNo explanation needed if you’re an outsider. If it’s got nothing to do with you why get involved unless you’re a Kochlöffel
DeleteAs an outsider I can't fathom why people would stop a shul from being built.
DeleteI would understand if a non Jew would appose it, they don't see any benefit from it. But a frum Jew to appose a shul being built?
Aside from the whole idea of being a קטיגר on a מקום קדוש such as a shul goes against רוח התורה and should only be used in an extreme circumstance. But just practically speaking, where are all the מתפללים for that shul supposed to daven? There isn't that much land in Westgate to build on.
I understand that there was bad blood going back many years, but I don't think it justifies this kind of opposition.
Again, I'm an outsider, I don't know the whole story, but something doesn't seem right

DeleteJB,
et al
Are you silly
the place has a certain stability you really wish to destroy it?
Are you not aware of how many communities have fallen apart because of your your free-for-all?
With all due respect there have been many more accidents in front of the Ropschitz shul because of its location than there be been at the KW location. So if anyone’s being honest here I don’t think traffic and safety are the major issues. All the people who were pro hiring a lawyer had a different agenda - vihamayvin yavin.
DeleteJB you’re an outsider that seems to know a lot. Just saying
ReplyDeleteFirst of all not everyone opposed hired a lawyer so those people had no agenda. I don’t believe the people that hired a lawyer had a different agenda either but were being ignored for months and years prior when they tried working with the kw people. They were left with no choice and we’re supported by daas Torah.
ReplyDelete100% garbage
DeleteWhat happened to listening to the original psak given by da’as Torah? The opposers didn’t like that psak so they went rabbi hopping till they found someone willing to give the psak they wanted. Which ruv “supported” hiring a lawyer to stop a shul???????
DeleteThey didn’t have to go rabbi hopping! It was the same rabbi that gave the psak you wanted.
ReplyDeleteThe original psak never said they can’t try other means to stop it. The biggest gedolim encouraged some to do everything possible to stop it. It was lsheim shamayim.
