More schools adjacent to cross? Just brilliant thinking. As per the usual.
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice of Reina to offer a different piece of land. He's missing the point of having the schools in Jackson for the Jackson students not in Jackson bordering Lakewood which will cause the same traffic as before. Definitely election malarkey. The fools will vote for him again.
ReplyDeleteThere’s no way to make Jackson schools for Jackson students and that’s not the reason the schools are going there.
ReplyDeleteYisrael Btach baHashem, not the tzioni antiTorah Medinah!
ReplyDeleteI'm curious, I was assured by Rav Ribner that the Fallsburg RY hates everyone who has a whiff of modernity. How do the people being mezalzel other rabbonim over their derech square that with this?
