  1. So a light at Hope Chapel and Miller, South Lake, North Lake and 14th st ???

    That is pathetic.
    It's already gotten worse with the 14thst light.

    The real solution for that intersection would be to create a dedicated right lane that starts at miller and hope chapel, that is exclusive to those turning right from Miller. That lane should continue north until N lake.
    There is already a right lane between S and N lake. It would be an easy fix.

    2. Most public school pupils are from out of lakewood. It's a fraud that the township refuses to investigate.

    3. Its job security for the teachers and the administration. Imagine if they had a real audit to see how many PS students live in Lakewood the numbers wont match up.
      There are however many frum kids in the pre K program and other special ed classes

    4. The BOE's hands are tied by the state. If someone claims they're homeless, then the district they present themselves in has to provide services.

    5. They are not homeless they all live in neighboring towns lakewood taxpayers can not fund all the homeleess kids of NJ makes no sense.

  5. I also 'donned' Shabbos clothing last week, when Shabbos came in.

    The Dardanelles river is in the wrong part of the world, and this confrontation has nothing to do with the Turks.

    Anyway, the Rambam taught us already that we don't know how Moshiach will come, and no secret Kabbalos are more weighty than the Rambam.

    1. The river is what connects the black sea to turkey the russians are moving eastward and you make fun of the 12th Ani Maamin.Feh

    2. @8:56 I have a small secret for you: If I have a shverre Rambam I would ask R Elya Ber to explain it to me. Not you.
      It's foolish to think you 'shlugged up' R Elya Ber because you can quote a Rambam.
      Enough said.

    3. “The river is what connects the black sea to turkey the russians are moving eastward“ Ukraine is west of Russia not east.

      Delete
    4. Nowhere in the 12th Ani Ma'amin does it say I need to believe that rivers have any connection to Moshiach.
      Nowhere in the 12th Ani Ma'amin does it say that Moshiach will come in any specific manner.
      Nowhere in the 12th Ani Ma'amin does it say that we should wear Shabbos clothes for any occasion but Shabbos.

    1. Look it up, the only way to get to the Black Sea from the Atlantic/Meditteranean is through the Dardanelles Straights and then the Bosphorus Straights. That means that any Russian navy ship that has has ever been in the Black Sea, and they are always there, has come through the Dardanelles, unless the ship was built near the Black Sea. It was in the news two weeks ago because of the Ukraine crisis, but they cross through there every other day.
      I've heard this mesorah slightly differently, (I think I heard it from Rav Kalman Krohn ztz"l) that the sign is when the Russians march through the gates of Istanbul.
