ReplyDeleteThis is the begining of Yoiker Yaamir, hagefen titein piryoh, vehayayin beyoker. In literal transalation.
BTW it is only the begining, no it isn't Biden or Trump, it is all decreed from above.
While it's absolutely true that it's all decreed from Above, it is blasphemous to suggest that our decisions, actions and alliances are not a big part of the picture, which brings these things.
DeleteIt is not OK to pretend and suggest that the leftists who are trying to deny Hashem 'are good people' etc etc
The Chutzpa Yasge is already visible in if comments section on the other posts.
DeleteBasically, it is blasphemy to think that the left and the right are equal.
DeleteThe right are the ones pushing a disgusting religion down people's throats, but it's the left who are 'against' Hashem.
It's the right who believe that the worse middos you have, the more of a 'man' you are, but it's the left who are the bad ones.
Both sides are not Jewish and not based on Torah. Neither have a monopoly on sheker, fighting Hashem and bad middos.
I guess robbing looting and murdering others is considered good Midos by you.
DeleteThe bigger discussion for those who are genuine would be about Up and Down.
DeleteEven while there are a lot of negatives on the so called Right and many are hardly better indeed than the Left and. Center (and for some specific issues the right has it self-centered backwards)
Still for enough of them it's more than a difference in degree it's becomes a difference in kind.
It's an enormous
difference of teleological goals for hopefully this world.
In a nutshell it's less about right and left, rather more about where we ought to be headed with abundance of manifold deficiencies and selfish frailties.
It's about Up and Down
I wonder if the supermarkets in Lakewood will cash in on thise new law like they do in other places.
ReplyDeleteWhen the plastic bag law past in NY, GG Five Towns cashed in. They sell their bags for 5 cents each, in bundles of 5. So every time you shop and want a bag, they charge you 25 cents minimum for the bags. So instead of giving free bags, they profit from the law.
Seasons, on the other hand, ignores the silly ban and gives bags the same way they always did. (Same goes for most stores in Brooklyn.)
Seasons Lakewood is already selling reusable bags @1.49
DeleteThe law in NJ doesn't start until May 4. Everyone is still giving bags until then.
DeleteWhat happened to the yellow playset at sunset park? It was removed and the area was left full of tripping hazards. Will it be replaced?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the scoop will be running a ask the mayor about it, where he will have someone look at it, but it's probably a county issue. It's the answer to every question. In the meantime the Vermont extension is closed, there is no park at James/Cross, Chestnut/New Hampshire is a nightmare, 9/Broadway still no fix, and more.
Delete“Rav Shmuel Kamenetzky shlita spoke today in Lakewood at a chanukah Habayis he mentioned that if one does not stop the building of a shul it is considered as if he helped build it.”
ReplyDeleteSo.... what’s news with WG? Is their shul built yet?
Notice how the same guys who tell us that its all from Hashem and nothing is Biden's fault, are the same guys who kept telling us that everything was Trump's fault.
ReplyDeleteDoes that include WG shul not being built yet? Halevei we could blame that on trump who’s a goy.
