Submitted regarding banquet hall ordinance 

Excuse me Mr. Mayor, why would you tell the residents that they should speak at the planning board meeting when this ordinance gets reviewed? Surely you know that the planning board does not allow a public comment portion for proposed ordinance reviews. They only let the public voice their concerns on land development applications. The last time the public tried communicating their opinions at an ordinance review, the Board attorney did not allow them to do so. He told them that they should instead express themselves during the committee's public meeting. So, here's the problem Mr. Mayor: You tell us to talk to them, and they tell us to talk to you. This way what you accomplish is that the one hundred thousand township residents (which are not school & banquet hall owners) will have their concerns ignored through this politician-style game you’re playing. And by the time this gets back to you for the second reading, you will again ignore the residents - as you did earlier tonight when you refused to read the several non-repetitious comments which your constituents spent their precious time writing to you - and you will place blame on the planning board's "recommendation" - which did not allow for consideration of the public's comment.

 ״כנשר יעיר קנו על גוזליו ירחף יפרוס כנפיו יקחהו ישא על אברתו. ה׳ בדד ינחנו ואין עמו א-ל נכר״.

The Inspiring Story of Rabbi Avner, the Sinner

פרשת האזינו אמרו חז"ל "גדולה שירה זו, שיש בה עכשיו ויש בה לשעבר ויש בה לעתיד לבוא ויש בה בעולם הזה ויש בה לעולם הבא", ובלשון הרמב"ן "שהיא כוללת כל העתידות למו,  ולכן זו הירושה המיוחדת שמותיר לנו משה רבינו ביום מותו, ויש ציווי מיוחד לשנן אותה: "וְעַתָּה כִּתְבוּ לָכֶם אֶת הַשִּׁירָה הַזֹּאת וְלַמְּדָהּ אֶת בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל שִׂימָהּ בְּפִיהֶם לְמַעַן תִּהְיֶה לִּי הַשִּׁירָה הַזֹּאת לְעֵד בִּבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל". ובשם ר' דב בער, המגיד הגדול ממעזריטש (תלמידו-ממשיכו של הבעש"ט) נמסר שכל יהודי צריך לדעת את שירת האזינו ממש בעל-פה

The Inspiring Story of Rabbi Avner, the Sinner

The Ramban had a disciple, Avner, who strayed from the path of observant Judaism, left his community, and became an important official in the government. One Yom Kippur, Avner sent guards to the synagogue, ordering the Ramban to appear before him. In his palace, before the eyes of his former teacher and master, Avner slaughtered a pig, roasted it, and ate it on this holiest of fast days.

The Ramban couldn’t contain his anguish and cried, “What caused you to fall so low?! What compelled you to abandon the holy teachings of your ancestors?” “It was you, my master!” Avner roared derisively. “Your teachings completely disillusioned me and caused me to reject Judaism.
“You were once teaching the Torah portion of Haazinu,” he explained. “You taught us that in this brief Torah portion of fifty-two verses, the Torah encodes all the details of the long history of the Jewish people until the coming of Moshiach. You claimed, too, that encoded in its verses are the names of every Jew to have ever lived.

R' Aron Lang follow up: "The mosdos rejected the STEM program when the OU met with them.  "And of course, there was the state funding idea. I did not need the BOE, Igud or superintendent's approval for that. (In fact, at a Igud political meeting of over 100 rabbanon, township commiteemen and BOE members, one school owner shouted me down in front of every askan and leader when I said I was going to file. He screamed twice, "Nobody writes the commissioner without our approval." I turned all white and felt the blood run out of my head. Then they collected $40,000 in pledges to hire a lawyer, right in front of me, to file the same kind of case. They ended up going with the Bacon case, for which Lakewood had a poor record, and it was dismissed.)"

A Change in Political Paradigm

 Recently group known as UENJ has submitted to various publications an article entitled, “Tuition Relief in NJ, Yes It’s Possible.” I do not know what the UENJ is thinking with their voter registration drive.

 Our legislative district is heavily Republican already. Our legislators are only three of 120 in the legislature and the state is heavily Democratic. The solution to the tuition crisis is not vouchers, certainly not for all 45,000 of our children, but publicly paid English teachers. Vouchers will bring an end to the DOE's salutary neglect of the compulsory education laws. Mosdos will have to teach all subject in earnest and the children will have to take the state tests. The people of NJ, even Republicans, will not forgo hundreds of millions in tax revenue to pump more money into what is seen as the bottomless pit of Lakewood.

 Consider 1) the allegations of educational failure in NY mosdos, 2) our elected BOE cannot get its financial house in order, 3) the state provided evidence at the school funding trial that the BOE wasted tens of millions of taxpayer dollars, and 4) we have accumulated almost $200 million in debt and growing.
