ReplyDeleteWhat a bunch of Tzadikim!
How about a girls' school first?
You're entitled to do your cause. They're indeed doing a maaseh of tzidkus - an action of righteousness. And that is their mitzvah which they've grabbed.
DeleteWhat is your cause? I sure hope that it's not attacking others for doing good. Go choose yours. You can choose more than one. There's no limit!
Can we bring a good maternity ward back to MMC?
ReplyDeleteWow. The ignorant Planning Board attorney needs to go back to law school. The utter disdain and disrespect he showed to the court last night is contemptible. If he's too lazy to read the Judge's ruling and transcript of the hearing, which he clearly failed to do - then he's also failed to serve Lakewood's residents with good legal counsel. Replace the bum!
ReplyDeletethis is one of the inevitable outcomes of a Torah only approach . .
ReplyDeleteGoing both ways without a larger coherent Hashkapha
DeleteA bifurcated approach
one inevitable outcome of the torah approach is that you have a place to live where you can go online and bash the people who created the community you are benefiting from and providing nothing for
DeleteA serious medical upgrade is needed it is a Sakana that people vm have to wait 4-5 days to see a regular doctor
ReplyDeleteIt is crazy that children have to wait 6-9 months for dental appointments
Urgent cares are good for strep and ear infections but they are not there to look for a comprehensive health check.

ReplyDeleteMenashe the abolitionist is running for county office. Lakewood can't wait to see him go elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteRachmana litzlan from Menashe the Abolisher. Maybe he can finally get his non-existent county rent control board to deal with Lakewood’s rental problems. 😆
DeleteHe's moving to toms river and won't be able to keep his Lakewood job.
DeleteIf Menash moves to Toms River, then he'll finally be able to own his house.
DeleteMiller's sales pitch is that "The county infrastructure is simply not keeping up with the growth in Lakewood."
DeleteIs he for real? What about the "Township" infrastructure not keeping up with the growth in Lakewood?? He was the person in charge of that, and he still failed us.
Besides, he's at fault for appointing the land use board members that allowed the wild west development that's been taking place before sufficient infrastructure is put in place, to accommodate the growth he's pushed for.
It is sick and disgusting for fellow jews to use public office for personal gain and self promotion. The olam should Not vote for them. They can only make problems.
ReplyDeleteNobody will vote for him, he's dreaming. The only way he gets is running against an openly antisemitic individual
DeleteMiller failed Lakewood. He has the chutzpah to blame the county for bad roads in lakewood. Does he think we are such fools. He's done nothing for the quality of life and was missing from township meetings and the traffic and potholes on township roads speak for themselves.
ReplyDeletewe don't need him getting his hands in the county. Let him leave public office and get a job
Healthcare is a failure in Lakewood due to direct actions taken by Chemed. They have for years scared others away and in some cases forced insurance companies to not accept other Dr's onto their plan. Chemed exists via federal funds for underserved communities. If we get served, they loose their funding.
ReplyDeleteJust so everyone is aware, Menashe Miller is Chemed's Director of Public Affairs. Now you know the rest of the story..
DeleteWho is guiding these misguided politicians to run for high public office possibly putting the klal in danger. We need the rabbonim and rosehei yeshiva to address this ASAP.
ReplyDeleteRav Matisyahu Solomon was adamant against too many frum politicians. This is dangerous
Terrible he'll need to start attending meetings in person.
ReplyDeleteRemember he collects a full pension after 20 years in office, so it makes sense he drops of Lakewood committee at his 20th anniversary. Even if he looks ses he has his excuse to retire from the township committee.
ReplyDeleteWe need to repeal the Ordinance to provide free lifetime health insurance. These committeemen already took enough from us, and they keep giving away taxpayer owned property which we need for our infrastructure. We can no longer afford their lifestyle.
Delete& till now we could afford?!?
DeletePlease tell me this is a purim joke.
ReplyDeleteMenashe can't take criticism for local problems. Now he's dreaming of county. He should retire and leave us alone. No one needs this
Lakewood can’t wait to see the arrogant menashe lose!! Haha that will be so much fun! Menashe good riddance. Maybe go back to Iraq.
ReplyDeleteWho is foolish enough to believe that it was wrong to stop the shul in wg? It was such a no brainer for them.
ReplyDeleteMaybe a no brainer for people with no brains!!
DeleteAre you saying the gedolim that were behind it had no brains?
ReplyDeleteI wouldn’t exactly call the people in arkaos gedolim.
DeleteI would assume the med that they are out of is Tamiflu - or the tibit is untrue, or doctors prescribe other meds for the flu?
ReplyDeleteI wonder if a single one of those ads got one person to vaccinate in Lakewood! Welcome to government waste!
ReplyDeleteI hope it inspired people NOT to vaccinate, in which case it would have been money well spent.
DeleteNo one else needs to have #DiedSuddenly after taking the #CovidShot.
Don't we all need Trump? Bottled water! Yay!
ReplyDeleteAnd to think that some people in Lakewood actually voted and supported this tzudreite.
You’re such a klain-kepeleh that doesn’t understand the tremendous effect of what 45 is doing. He’s the best thing that ever happened in this country!
DeleteThe liberals are triggered that
DeleteDonald Trump helped East Palestine, Ohio.
Trump Derangement Syndrome is real.
Vote Trump and get bottled water!
DeleteWhat a winning slogan!
You vote Biden and get out of control inflation and toxic chemicals killing your community.
