Can we please know who the senior posek is?
ReplyDeleteSuch corruption in the township the sad matter is that it's unzere who are doing it. You hope they are as makpid on taryag as they are in enforcing the rules for public comment
ReplyDeleteWe must SCREAM ABOUT THE PLAYGROUP PRICES!!!!!! HaShem Yerachaimmm!!!
ReplyDeletewhy can schools raise tuition up to 1500 dollars are they not bound by halachos
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately in Lakewood there is no ruling authority and everyone does as they please in every area!!!
ReplyDeleteNow suddenly, so many in our community, who claims to be Republican, and believe no one should interfere with the financial market, are screaming for someone to interfere & curb price hikes for chinuch and rentals. When it hurts someone else, you say it's better for the economy to leave it alone. But when it hurts you, you scream or help.
ReplyDeleteBecause there’s inflation and raising prices 20-30 bucks a month. And than there’s being a slob and raising prices to crazy numbers
DeleteI'M sorry that you cant differentiate between the two but for starters we are bound by a shulchan aruch and yashrus. Secondly, republicans are against govt regulation which allows healthy competition and brings down prices.
DeleteAnon 10:00 a.m.,
DeleteWell taken though NIMBY is typical practice of obviously all sides of the political aisles for different policies they often simplistically or hypocritically claim to support
Good riddance to Fauci. I'm so happy the creep is gone.
ReplyDeleteCan somebody please explain to me why (from an halachic perspective) we cannot raise rent more than 5% per year on rental properties, but schools and playgroups are not bound by the same rules?
ReplyDeleteBecause the schools and yeshivos can always hide behind a rosh yeshiva
DeleteAs a Playgroup morah who asked very popular senior Posen in lkwd and got opposite answer- was told to raise it to what women with experience who would actually open a successful well run group and would charge today. Which we all know is 500$/mth. Please encourage anyone who you know of that would consider this price and would open. I am only one morah and I’m getting hundreds of calls still coming in of kids not in groups yet.
ReplyDeleteheard the exact opposite from Rav Forcheimer
DeleteThis cook lady wants to charge as much as regular school tuition for a playgroup! Is she nuts??
DeleteWhats the hock about playgroup morahs all about ?? The solution is to go shop around for a cheaper priced morah. Shouldn't it be like when you purchase something,if the price doesn't meet your budget than go shop elsewhere. The morahs can charge what they want.go elsewhere & find cheaper. Maybe pick on the shaddchanim who expect & ask crazy amount of money to find your child a shidduch or pick on the developers selling homes to youngerleit for $1.2 million.yes I am proud of the morahs for taking care of my children ,they deserve the money, they don't have government funding or dinners /parlor meeting to raise money like school's.
ReplyDeleteBecause we all signed our applications in mind to pay 365-385 a month not 500
DeleteYou signed your application 6-8 months ago. A lot changed since then. Why do you expect the morah to hold that price?
DeleteAs a side note, my wife is a morah. She held strong to not open until registration until tu b’shvat. When we ran the numbers and saw we needed to go up, I called my rav. He didn’t answer right away, said he needed to get back to me. He called me back and said halachically it was muttar to go up (just $25 a month we are going up, but that’s not covering close to what my tuition and such went up). I asked him if in “the fifth shulchan aruch” it’s allowed, he said to make sure no one has taanis, we should be clear saying that if someone feels they cannot pay the $25 more a month, they should let us know and we will discuss. So far, no one called.
Rule of thumb- in business and in real life- just be straightforward and don’t make promises you can’t keep. For example, a price in October for the next September.
What's the going rate for shadchan per side?
DeleteHalacha and rules don't apply to people in Lakewood if you didn't notice. Yes it's a crime to raise tuition for playgroups and schools by so much $$$. Doesn't anyone realize that with this rate of inflation every man and woman in this town will have to work full time??? What will happen to the precious kids??? The parents will be so stressed out the kids will all have issues. We're getting cooked!!!
ReplyDeletePlaygroup tuition has nothing to do with inflation.
ReplyDeleteWe made a deal with the Morah for a certain price. If she backs out now, or charges more, she is reneging on a deal, which is wrong.
She can increase her prices for next year if she wants, not this year.
Why is it that none of my children’s morah’s seemed to have given prices 8 months ago? All my children’s morah’s said final price will be discussed in July.
DeleteDon't get the food boxes some vendors are back to giving stuff that no one wants or eats. It's baal tashchis and also taking advantage let them give normal edible food not only milk the system
ReplyDeleteI stopped after getting a full box of junk.
DeleteThey can only charge if someone takes the box if they give junk and your kids wont eat it go to another vendor
DeleteI wish I could stop! They keep dumping garbage by my door!! How do I get it to stop? I don’t even know where it’s from!
