  1. They might not charge much, so it's a gmach in that sense, but not how the term is typically used nowadays . . altho the clothing is donated they do sell it for keeps for a small fee

    1. Serendipity has expenses. Trucks, gas, rent, storage, paid employees to sort, clean, maintain the supply, utilities. The sorting and transporting alone takes hours and ppl doing it are paid laborers.

  2. The media war in Lakewood is disgusting and dragging the community into the gutter. The Poop blew it up with making Westgate like the Westbank and Harlem in a clickbate frenzy giving a bad fake view to the world.

    1. The new Alerts website in Lakewood had really shown itself to be a shmutzedige rag. It's owned by yeshivaworld and he's written many nasty articles and threats about good people in town. But that's to be expected from YWN. Nobody half decent ever looks at that garbage site. Since he can't compete on content, he stoops to bashmutzing and the like. He should just stay in his inner city of Brooklyn then to stoke machloikes in our ihr hatorah.

    2. Yes, I would like to second that. Ywn, the alerts is really slated for a front seat in gehenom, and the poop is not far behind. Hopefully they could find the courage and the siyata dishmaya to redeem themselves. Hashm Yirachem
