LAKEWOOD PROPOSED "YESHIVA LANE" APPLICATION ON RIDGE AVENUE IS PLAYING GAMES

The planning board application number is SD 2405.
DeleteSome thoughts on the upcoming Adirei Hatorah event
ReplyDeletehttps://theguybehindthecounter.com/adirei-hatorah-lakewood-event-opinion/
One second, so now there is another parking fee, and the food has been canceled. If you come an hour and a half early (!), there will be some food. And all this as a kavod for Bnei Torah?!?!?!?
ReplyDeleteWhat a Kidush Hashem it will be when the Bnei Torah of town show up in the masses in the Batei Midrashim of Lakewood, ignoring mass cultural events in Philadelphia. When they learn another few lines of Gemara, instead of listening to vapid self-congratulatory speeches. When they occupy their minds with a Sugya, instead of dancing like concert goers.
That Kidush Hashem will be a gevaldige zechus for all of us.
ומכלל הן אתה שומע לאו.
I feel bad for you. You sound like a very farbisene person.
DeleteAnon 10:16 - what do you have against a Kidush Hashem? Are you that jaded?
DeleteStop giving excuses and hate if you don't want to go don't.
DeleteAnon 11:08 - why the hate? If you don't want to go to Beis Hamedrash on Sunday night, and prefer to spend your time in stadiums, do so. But why hate?
DeleteI plan on going, but admittedly I'm not learning that much these days. If someone is ligin in lernen, I can't pasken, but misvoro your correct he should sit and learn. Tomim tihyeh
DeleteI am assuming those 35 residents' kids are in schools and never had problems getting in. I hate the congestion to and oppose more residential development but as far as I'm concerned all schools should expand.
ReplyDeleteYou're a clown and what you said is totally ridiculous.
DeleteThose 35 residents have no issue with schools expanding. Their legitimate problem is that this school owner is doing things in a way that makes things easier for him to make more money on his Simcha Hall, while he destroys life for the neighborhood. He is perpetrating an act of pure selfishness and greed at the expense of others. That is not the way to build torah.
He can have the largest simcha hall in town if he wants, but he has no right to build it in a place which there's no room for it. Let him try pulling this shtick in any other town in the USA and we'll all see how far he gets.
Why is BY making a chillul Hashem? Why is it so difficult for the owner to be ehrlich? Where's the yashrus in doing all kinds of shtik which will be mazik the rabim?
ReplyDeleteThe worst land use offenders in town are the school owners, because they do whatever they want - no matter how crazy - and blame it on the torah.
DeleteWhat’s with the shul in WG?
DeleteSo they want us to spend $50+ on gas, $50+ for tickets, and $22 for parking for no apparent reason. Very few people I know are going.
ReplyDeleteI can think of many better ways to spend $122. With better, more elaborate food, and no lines at all.
DeleteNo sure where you hang out but I know many working ppl going
DeleteSince when do frum women run for public office what is going on in Jackson with the Agudah causing Aiva and Hisgarus
ReplyDeleteIt is not public office, it is similar to the electoral college. They decide who goes on the ballot.
DeleteSo how come this public celebration
DeleteWhy is a local frum insurance company advertising pride month and pro LGBT garbage on social media. Where is the sensitivity to all the frum clients
ReplyDeleteLol. They were yotze sensitivity when they advised last week you'll have more money for cheese cake if you insure with us.
DeleteWhich company?
DeleteThey figure on social media no frum people will see it.
Deletefrum??
DeleteOver the last several years the term in general has been grossly inflated out of proportion
p.s.
frum≠orthodox
Or all the more some sort of black hat, though practically, conservadox or
orthoprax
You just posted that the food at the event is under KCL. Can we know who is preparing the food? Whose meat & chicken are they using? Unfortunately, most Bnei Torah in Lakewood don't use AGRI. This is despite KCL allowing the Yeshiva to use it. But shouldn't the Yungerleit know in advance if their standards are being met? Do they need to eat before they come? Please get us the information we need. We have come to rely on you & we know we can trust you!
ReplyDeleteIf you don't eat Agri, you certainly shouldn't be going to the stadium
