The "Yenukah" Rav Shlomo Yehuda Beeri delivers a shiur to thousands in Tzefas he is called the “Yenukah” because he is young – about 32 – and has shown amazing knowledge in all aspects of the Torah. He knows, by heart, the Torah, Shas and commentaries, Zohar and its commentaries, and many other writings. During his shiurim, he gives exact references by page number and paragraph (Matzav)
Flu going around.. Yeah, why bother geting a vaccine, you can just get the flue instead..
ReplyDeleteThis zoning board member was on the master plan density subcommittee and said we need more housing and approved crazy overdevelopment. He also approved many applications that should not have been. How can he blame others?
ReplyDeleteCrooks and liars. The widening may be the blame of the politicians, but these terrible people approved the vacating of innumerable streets and cul fe sacs that all feed into the route 9 mess.
DeleteThey should hide their faces in shame for the quality of life they've ruined for our whole town by abandoning the grid system, for allowing unchecked building without infrastructure. Shame on all of them.
I wonder why so many developments along the 9 didn't have to create proper setbacks?
DeleteFor the last couple of years the township had a machine that sucked up the leaves. WHat happened to it? Why are they using the old method?
ReplyDeleteBecause of Corona of course.
DeleteThey are actually using that machine I've seen it in Albert area.. it's probably still there!! it takes a few hours to get through a pile - a complete waste of money. I remember 20 years ago when the township had these (similar) machines and it didn't work - that's why they went to the tractor method! Now their back to this inefficient suck up machine. Who paid them off to get it??
DeleteReb Shaul Alter is a Tzadik Yesod Olam. We need more such people in the world
ReplyDeleteGo ahead. Start working on yourself.
DeleteWhy is it that Lakewood allways has a problem with picking up Debris and leaves and branches and trees and garbage from the road and Sidewalks
ReplyDeleteAnd in general keeping Lakewood clean
They have a huge modern updated department of public works department with Dozens if not hundreds of employees with all the latest machinery and all types of vehicles which for the most part just sit there parked in their spaces without getting moved for months at a time
These people all get paid good salaries on time with life time benifits
Come on get to work cleaning up Lakewood
People should call up and complain and even start telling them that they will look into legal action and lawsuits if their sidewalks and streets do not get cleaned
Considering that they are paying good taxes and than some for all these services which are not being rendered
Everyone here is a bunch of kvetches. I live in Jackson and there are tons of leaf piles there as well. Probably even MORE than in Lakewood. Stop complaining about EVERYTHING!
DeleteBe happy you live in Jackson which is 4 times bigger than lakewood and a quarter size in population. A pile of leaves is not a hazard and does not take away parking. In Lakewood it does.
DeleteStop kvetching
As everybody knows, Lakewood Township is the laughingstock of the surrounding townships.
ReplyDeleteI have a great idea. Instead of holding protests with thousands of people, why don't you protest hurting and stealing from other Yidden? If they would stop terrorizing the Yidden who simply seek to mind their own business and learn and behave the way Gerer chasidim used to, then all would be well. Just stop. All Yidden look at those terrorizing as mistaken, petty, misguided and silly. Just stop it!
ReplyDeleteProtest hurting and stealing, but your lashon horah on a blog is not only great, but all the Gedolim have been saying so strongly how important it is...
Delete@Anonymous 4:49 PM
DeleteWhat exactly are you saying?
The easy things get done im this town is to write a letter to "ask the mayor" in the scoop, and then he'll look into it, and some other stupid answer. This town is a joke.
ReplyDeleteWhere is mr. safety committeeman lichtenstein about the dangerous leave piles he was very concerned about lighting up address numbers but ignores the other dangerous things like traffic accidents wonder why
ReplyDeleteWhat are emails addresses people can complain to. Mayor, public works etc... the mayor laughed an answer. It's a safety issue which is being ignored.
ReplyDeleteIf it's TRUE that the trucks and machinery are just sitting idle , video it and post u will get a response
ReplyDeleteLakewood has the most EXEPENSIVE disposal trucks in the entire State possibly in the country. Every Moontag Donarsthag, another $500k for garbage or other public works trucks. What for? Brick. TR, HowellN Jackson, hardly even have a DPW
ReplyDeleteStop spewing stupidity. Your comment about surrounding towns is a load of baloney.
DeleteWhat baloney? There is no DPW in the entire State matching the capital expenses by Lakewood on vehicles. Also, the surrounding towns have private garbage collections and lower tax rate.
DeleteUm, our population is more dense so we need more!
ReplyDeleteI hope the Yeshivas are contact tracing those who came down with the flu . . .
ReplyDeleteWhy do they not allow shuls in Wg?
ReplyDeleteAsk the lawyer
