Are those affected by Lufthansa constituents of governor Murphy too?
ReplyDeleteAsking for a friend.
The governor is too busy with his plastic bag ban and abortion laws to comment on this travesty. Way to go NJ. Kill babies and save the bags
DeleteCorrection: Chris Smith is not meeting with State Senators. He is meeting with Department of State's special envoy to combat antisemitism, Deborah Lipstadt.
ReplyDeleteWhich Nadvorna Rebbe is the one in the previous post? I don't recognize him.
ReplyDeleteWhich nadvorna? There are about 59 of them, can't blame you for not recognizing who
Delete@9:49 I didn't blame myself. I was asking a question. If you don't know the answer, don't answer.
Deletemust be the fake one if you don't recognize him

(HOPWA= housing opportunity for people with AIDS. Any statics available as to how many people in Lakewood township have AIDS? Where will this money go?)
Adirei Hatorah event scheduled for the Sunday of an off Shabbos.
ReplyDeleteIf the Yungeleit of Lakewood have any self-respect and refuse to join such events, they will round up bochurim with the promise of free food.
Self respect does not mean acting according to what you desire. Rather doing what's right and becoming of you.
DeleteBefore bashing find out why the Roshei Yeshiva and Rabbanim hold that the Yungerleit should attend and allow themselves to be 'honored' and only then can we discuss 'self respect'.
Self-respect means respect for their lifestyle.
DeleteWe don't go to events in stadiums to be entertained and fed. We leave that to those who go to special hotel programs with illusionists, shadchanim, singers and lifestyle gurus.
Bnei Torah's time is worth much more than that. They can be in Beis Hamedrash learning a Tosfos.
And for baalebatim it is even more ridiculous. One day a week that they don't work, are they not busy? Chavrusos, Shiurim, and other ruchniyusdige pursuits?
Especially as we haven't even been told why we should go. What is the purpose of this 'event'? What will happen if it doesn't take place? How can we be treated like sheep, קורא לה והיא באה?
It's not becoming for a Kollel Yugerman to travel to Trenton to be honored
DeleteBnei Torah don't post comments on blogs in middle of first Seder. They go to an event the Roshei Yeshiva & Rabbonim think they should go to and they go after second Seder.
DeleteSir, if you're a Yungerman learning in Yeshiva all day then not only were you not told why to go, you weren't told to go at all!
DeleteTeretz is you know about from the PR signs and ads and from the internet.
So don't complain. Wait and see. Or not. Just learn in this time and stop being busy with everything else
Anon 3:49 - you seem to think that Yungeleit don't have their own minds. They just mindlessly follow that which Central Command tells them.
DeleteI don't what your experience is with Bnei Torah, but the Torah they learn usually informs them that they do not have to conform with 'everyone'. They won't put up a fight, but their inner core is not pushed around by propaganda and noise.
here is a worthy discussion
DeleteThey're charging $360 for bochurim and kids. They clearly don't want them and they won't be attending for $360!!!
ReplyDeleteThey're charging $50. $360 is recommended donation.
DeleteLet's 'focus and recognize' the chashivus of the ameilus batorah by forcing Yungeleit to spend hours on inane dancing, speeches, and elaborate food.
ReplyDeleteHow about recognizing their chashivus by setting aside parking spots next to the Yeshiva 'for Yungeleit only'? Or perhaps making the event for those with spare time on their hands only?
Where would you want those parking spots to be? In a residential area so that the people living there don't have where to park? Or on 7th and all over Yeshiva where Yungerleit park now already?
DeleteIn regard to Phil Murphy's lack of compassion for those 9 Israelis murdered by Arab terrorists in the last 2 weeks....and yet Lakewood still votes for Democrats. Wake up, if you want change, stop voting for the same party that promises change and does nothing to help you.
ReplyDeleteIts cheaper to fress at the local restaurant in honor of Reb Shaya b"r Moshe, and you also get more zchusim and yeshuos that way.
ReplyDeleteImagine a Rav publicized his opinion that people shouldn't go to the stadium's elaborate dinner. How much pressure he would be under.
ReplyDeleteNobody with a brain in his head would believe that the Rabbonim's haskama (which we haven't seen yet) is given without duress. Even if no threats were made, everyone knows exactly what the consequences will be.
It's said that when all the Nadvorner Rebbes travel together, they travel in a large coach bus, while all their chassidim travel in a compact car. Lol
ReplyDeleteOur Lakewood is blessed with one of these Rebbes
ReplyDeleteWhat's your problem?
DeleteMaybe now you can understand what the Roshei Yeshiva have to go through on a daily basis nebach. 15 Brisim 10 Chasunos 5 Dinners etc etc and this before what they need to do for actual fundraising. When you're expected to go one place one time, see the reaction
ReplyDeleteWhat the RY have to go through? They want this nobody’s forcing them
ReplyDeleteSays you.
DeleteWho's forcing them? The family firm? Would you tell us?
DeleteIf you don't have your own brains to figure things out that one is supposed to what is expected of him especially in matters of attending Simchos etc then I don't know if they have them for sale, you may just need to be mechaven more by the third fourth and fifth bracha of shmone esrei.
DeleteThe reason has something to with a concept called Mentchlichkeit. A concept it seems that many commenters are not too familiar with.
