ReplyDeleteSafeCell is having a limited time sale of $99 for a kosher flip phone. Options for every carrier, in honor of the Nekadesh event. Sponsored by an anonymous benefactor.
ReplyDeleteWhich phone?
DeleteSafeCell is located in the chemed building 1771 Madison Ave.
ReplyDeleteIf the 2300 tax exempt properties in Lakewood Township would pay property taxes, they wouldn’t have to raise taxes every year on everyone else.
ReplyDeleteWell at least the ridiculous CEO ordinance for a 30 year tax abatement on a certain individual's property between E. Spruce and Pine St. did not go through.
DeleteHow can i hear a replay or R Ephraim Wachsman speech last night
ReplyDeleteThe frum websites ignore and don't report on the TAG gathering for ladies. Yes it is against them but as news sites its stupid of them to not mention it. They are shallow agenda driven and have no teeth. Last week the Lakewood scoop refused to report on Adirei hatorah pettiness and childish.
ReplyDeletefor security reasons their was a media blackout until after the event , there will be an article coming
DeleteAisle 9 seems to think that they can force people to buy more stuff by not providing baskets
ReplyDeleteThey only provide carts
Unless there’s another explanation of why they make running in quick for something so inconvenient . .
Overlooked? Don't have a good system where to put the baskets when paying and efficiently getting back to near the entrance without making customers uncomfortable when taking the baskets at the line? Did you ask them? It's worthwhile to make our reflexive and impulsive reaction to be to first try to fix a problem.
DeleteAaaand maybe their order of baskets was delayed due to the current shipping crisis? And you're so perfect?
DeleteSubsidized kosher phones 99$ - it really doesn't help when the price is double a cheap smartphone that probably lasts longer
ReplyDeleteWhy is AGUDAH of NJ or the VAAD or BOE not out in front supporting Arthur Lang to fix the funding formula if they meant leshem shamayim they would help him, instead the Lakewood establishment went after him out of jealousy and tried sabatoging the case, and if he is successful you will see everyone taking credit.
ReplyDeleteThe family updated the Tehilim name as Yosef Chaim Ben Netti Neri
ReplyDeletethere was a wedding Wednesday night in Bais Yaakov hall, the chosson and kallah were both from Mexico but they made the wedding local because the chossons mother is sick and getting treated here in Usa.....these bachurim in the car accident had flown in for the wedding?

DeleteDid Reb Dovid Breslauer end up speaking? Or was it fake news?
ReplyDeleteSpoke at the second venue
Delete“reprehensible” and “frightful in its scope.”are the Terms the media and the political public would have used had some official attacked any
ReplyDeleteCourt ruling whatsoever whether agree or disagree with terms “not just reckless,” “reprehensible” and “frightful in its scope.”
How is it the back in the day with the Warren, Burger
Court
and the only I know the other it was
Only concealed carry or even open?
ReplyDeleteTypos
ReplyDeleteThe gist is how radical attitudes are allowed to have changed on a dime now that the Court has finally returned to a somewhat conservative bent after literally decades of wrecking havoc
So the opposite of conservative is 'wreaked havoc'. Interesting. Why? How are our interests better served by conservative attitudes, such as allowing guns everywhere in the country? How are our lives better for that?
DeleteReread post: whether agree or disagree
DeletePersonally I disagree with this ruling. But that should be irrelevant.
Reverence for the Court was Nationwide accepted consensus and used to browbeat Conservatives into teeth grinding quietude during all those decades when there was a left domination. Imagine if the conservatives would have done this during all those decades! The country and the world would be a different place today!
But they unhappily grew old even while believing the court was wrecking the country for the sake of all. The travesty!
Hypocrisy. Blatantly.
DeleteThe response you gave missed the boat .
Aisle 9 is a great store. Unlike other stores in town who cry the Hidden run to the goyishe stores to save a few pennys. Aisle 9 gets it, besides competitive pricing, they understand YOU are doing them a favor when you walk in, so they provide GREAT SERVICE, no waiting, all prices clearly marked, rotten returns don't go back on the shelves etc etc. The one thing they do seem to be cursed with however is horrible parking situation, even in the new store
ReplyDeletedoesnt FAA own a tax exempt property?
ReplyDeleteWell that's how he knows. It takes one to know one.
Deleteyes, in hearthstone on lancewood court
DeleteHe needs it so that he can serve the public. Since he's helping us, he needs to be supported by us.
DeleteThe reality is that some of the people who are attacking the politicians for what they're doing wrong, would do the same if they were in power. All these politicians started with great intentions.
It’s better when people can protect themselves. It’s also a deterrent for a potential shooter.
ReplyDeleteDoubt your children feel happier and safer growing up in a society where everyone needs a gun for mutual assured safety
DeleteBut again, irrelevant
The Democratic response is cruel: everything must always keep going under their control and direction or they will destroy to its root every institution.
Grant them more and more dominance of the whole planet or they will drag all down
What utter stupidness, if you want to use the 2nd amendment argument than fine, but to say the more ppl with gun's will make us safer in any way just doesn't add up, for most citizens life would be much safer if it's extremely tough to get a gun.
Delete"Stupidness", now that's an autological word. :)
DeleteYour grammar is absolutely stunning! Stupidness, than fine etc. won’t bother responding to your stupidness comment.
