סליחות לתענית אסתר
קנא לשמך נורא ונקדש, חזה כרמך נהרס ונידש. זרויינו קבץ ושיר לך יחודש, קימם והחים בבנין בית המקדש. וכעשותך נוראות באותן הימים, אתנו הפלא תשועת עולמים. מצוא לפניך כפר ותנחומים, אל מלך יושב על כסא רחמים.

ReplyDeleteMASSIVE WIN:
ReplyDeleteThe New Jersey Appellate Division today granted a major win to Arthur Lang's long running Alcantra vs. Hespe lawsuit which seeks for a fairer funding formula for the Lakewood Public School District.
The 3-judge panel agreed with Mr. Lang's long time 2 arguments: 1) Lakewood's students are not receiving a constitutionally sound education, 2) the fault of this is because New Jersey's School Funding Formula is unconstitutional as applied to Lakewood's unique demographic situation.

ReplyDeleteSo this Chabad rabbi cared so much for his fellow Jews ,that he specifically plunked himself in Lakewood, a vibrant frum city filled with scholars and educated laymen ,just so that he could to "educate" them. And he runs to APP , this caring individual , to tell them that the Jews are not observing Purim properly. My ,what would Lakewood do without it's local Chabbad.
ReplyDeleteTo be fair, APP could have taken his words out of context. I would not be surprised at all.
DeleteThere are over 8 million yidden who don't know what an Aleph is,What are you doing to lift up your fellow Jew
DeleteSenseless Hatred
DeleteBitter with Self hate, what have you done lately to lift up a Jewish soul
DeleteWould the chabad rabbi approve making tumble sauces over a table with food on ut. Is that a part of purim too.
ReplyDeleteAnd do you approve of all the Chilul Hashem and Blatant corruption in our little town
DeleteHatred at it's worst
DeleteYou don't go to a secular paper and badmouth an entire community because they don't follow chabad.
DeleteBan fireworks
ReplyDeleteTypical chabad=amaretz
ReplyDeleteYou should go the emergency room immediately,you have CDS. Chabad Derangement Syndrome
DeleteHe is claiming to preach to this Town?!
ReplyDeleteHis whole ana"sh are 'pots calling the kettle black'
A joke
Not clear what this Chabbad rabbi is saying in the first place . Dressing up is not the minhag ? Obviously it is
ReplyDeleteDressing up is a minhag and mesorah in klal yisrael before chabad was invented. But chabad is not tolerant of anyone not like them hence the need to go to the app and bashmutz a minhag yisroel.
ReplyDeleteSeems like Sinas Chinum is a popular minhag too
ReplyDeleteDefending minhagei Yisroel is bad,huh
