Rav Shaul Alter writing Torah on the plane
The posters going up today are very concerning. I didn't know a lot of the things they say about Jack Ciattarelli. It's concerning that these new self-appointed askanim pushing him are starting out pushing a deeply flawed candidate and lying about what he believes to us.
ReplyDeleteAnd I almost forgot about his noncommittal answer about UBCF back when he was interviewed for the Shopper in the summer. And I also noticed he hasn't spoken about it since - not in the Shopper, and not in the Voice. So why are they lying and saying he committed on the record to free him?
It was recorded. That's how it's on the record. Did you read the Shopper this past weekend? All the details about his pledge to take care of OBCF is in there. Now go out there and VOTE like someone's life depends on it... because it does.
DeleteHe never said it on the record in this past week's shopper. It was just something the writer said he would do - the writer being the same self-appointed askan who is pushing his candidacy. If you can show me one recording or quote where he said what he will do, I'll admit I'm wrong.
DeleteHe's certainly been here enough that there should be one video of him discussing it. I mean, he even promised to come back right after the election to play with the LBA. What a Yeshivaman!
“Self appointed askanim”?? Which side are you referring to? They are all self appointed
DeleteWho is the "self-appointed askanim" that are you referring to? The vaad?
DeleteNo, the Children running the Jack for Lakewood campaign
DeleteIn an unadvertised stop when Jack was in Lakewood, he met with the NJ Chaplains Association at their Park Avenue headquarters, and discussed all these issues on the record. Not every shred of the 'how' they got the pledge is written as many various groups and special interests read the Shopper, but the 'what' is all there for us to confidently vote for Jack.
DeleteNeither of them could just free him and won’t. The vaad tells us who to vote for and the rule of thumb is to do the opposite.
ReplyDeleteIf the Vaad tells you to look both ways before crossing the street, what will you do?
DeleteJack didn't say he'd free him. He said he'll drop the appeal and let the original judge's ruling stand. That is a big win for R' OBCF. Murphy? ....crickets.
DeleteHe never said that though. Only the Shopper claims he did. But there's not a single quote where he says he will.
DeleteSo many posters here have no idea of how the judicial system works. The appellate court already vacated the Judges lenient sentence and remanded it to a different judge for sentencing. At this point there is no going back. Not even the governor he msrlf can get the more lenient sentence reinstated. The only thing the governor can do is ossue a pardon, something that neither Murphy nor his opponent are likely to do.
DeleteL'havdil of course, only the Torah says that the Torah was given at Har Sinai. There is no recording! How can we know it really happened? Hello?! The paper is basing it's reputation on what's written inside it. If they write trash and gibberish they will lose their advertisers. The Shopper is not The National Inquirer that reports about Elvis and Hitler ymach shmo being still alive and working at the local 7-11. If they say Jack said it, then he did. Anyone who doesn't believe it can cancel their delivery!
DeleteThe Governor can commute the sentence to fit the terms of the original sentencing judge. That doesn't preclude Mr. Varitan from asking for a new trial based on the new discovery that a secretary made the entry, having nothing to do with R' OBCF at all. Even with a commuted sentence the slate can still be wiped clean.
Deletewhat reputation?
DeleteAny moderators here????? Saying Lehavdil doesn’t help. This is deep lunacy. The Torah the shopper are you normal???
DeleteI would love to cancel my delivery to that garbage. Unreal chutzpah they have to publish pictures of Jack in Yeshiva after the Roshei Yeshiva put out a machaa about it.
DeleteRav Yeruchom Olshin did not sign that machaah letter
DeleteBut if you are so concerned about kavod hatorah you should not look at the vaad website that published the pictures
You can! The Cancel culture sure is hot these days.
DeleteThe machah was about bringing him in without permission. There was nothing about pictures in it. Hey, once you're in, you're in. Ya know what I mean?
DeleteThat machah was the fakest of fake news.
DeleteDid he also pledge to let WG build shuls? That’s an extremely important issue to me and it should be to everyone.
ReplyDeleteמוכרין ס"ת לפדיון שבוים
DeleteI agree! Many years of not allowing people to build a proper shul for fear that it will detract from the ka of of the janitor...
DeleteWhen this clown tells you he's voting for Murphy, you know to vote the opposite.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.newsweek.com/why-i-staunch-republican-am-voting-phil-murphy-governor-opinion-1644430
I read that article & I might not agree with him, but I see his Svara.
DeleteYou....kind of just made his point.
Another self appointed "ultra-orthodox" spokesmouth. With friends like these....
DeleteHe is a hack and part of the do nothing Lakewood neighbors PR he represents nobody but himself. It is time for the community to publicly denounce all the self appointed askanim and spokespersons who go to the media and pretend that they were appointed by the community. We must declare loudly THESE PEOPLE DO MOT REPRESENT US
DeleteDo you know him?
DeleteEli Stienberg Director of Communications at BMG.
DeleteEli Steinberg hasn't worked for BMG in a long time.
DeleteYes but do you know him
DeleteRabbosei keep focused on the local elections in Lakewood Miller and Lichtenstein have not campaigned at all they are scared to face the voters who will ask them tough questions about traffic taxes safety. Vote for the other 2 guys Fuentes and Rodriguez it is time to change leadership and vote out the guys even unzere who are holding power for too long
ReplyDeleteYes! Hector and Jimmy will be amazing on the Township Committee, just as they are in their current positions. Let's vote for change up and down the ballot!
DeleteJimmy's last name is Espisito, not Rodriguez. It's printed right there on the ballot.
DeleteBy voting with your convictions, you show ALL politicians, where you stand on the issues, and where they need to be to get your vote. Even if the polls are accurate, and they aren't, voting is about more than one specific candidate and election. Your vote is a message. Every future candidate, be it on the federal, state or local level, looks at how you vote previously. Show them you care, and show them your vote is not for sale. The only hope for future sensible candidates, is to vote against Murphy. Voting for Murphy will have negative implications for us across all layers of government.

ReplyDeletesee this article, and notice how the igud hamosdos is completely silent about the onerous reporting that needs to be done. I am sure we will hear more on wednesday, after the election....
It's amazing how some people think that anything the government does about Covid is evil. Even something as innocuous as demanding accurate data.
DeleteStrange belief system. I find it hard to identify as the same species, let alone religion.
Testing is a trap!!!!!!!!!!
DeleteRight, because first they test you, then if you are ill, they try and heal you. Afterwards, you might be so grateful that you will vote for them
DeleteThey are not scared to face anyone. They know they will get re-elected without campaigning so why bother?
ReplyDeleteVaad and askanim have proven they could care less about pidyon shvuyim they called the olam bad apples. Vote for Jack for normalcy and for ROBCF
ReplyDeleteWhat is the story with Reb Shaul Alter? Is he saying a Shiur in BMG?
ReplyDeleteLast time he was here, he said a Shiur. Is the Yeshiva allowing inter-Chassidus politics to dictate its affairs?
Vote the bumbs out!!
ReplyDeleteAs per LNN race tightens to 4 points!
ReplyDeleteYour vote counts! Please let's get our voices heard and true help our community needs!
Go vote Jack!
The true hidden voters in Lakewood are the choshuve nshei chayil. If the husbands can get them to go out to vote for the Republican candidate for Governor, then Jack will win hands down. It won't even be close. That's called an untapped voter resource in political language. It will be HUGE! Go vote Jack!
DeleteUm, that was very demeaning. The nsheo chayil have minds of their own, thank you.
DeleteLook at the statistics. By and large Lakewood women are not party affiliated and almost across the board don't vote in Primaries (otherwise they'd automatically be part of a party), and their numbers in GE's are very low. Yes, they have minds of their own, but they generally don't use it for voting purposes. Just the facts. Now go vote!
DeleteWhat do they use their minds for? Asking for a friend.
DeleteWhen your friend gets married he'll intuitively understand. If not, his dear wife will give him a piece of her mind.
DeleteHistorically the Lakewood community vote is a small percentage of what it should be
ReplyDeleteAre there any pictures of the Rosh Yeshiva Rav Yitzchok Meir Schorr zt"l?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
