Mayor Coles added that "there is no reason to stop the sale of the land which is anyways going to be done by the LIC and not by the Committee." More
When I grew up in Lakewood, Pirchei events were open to all. No exclusivity. The idea of of a kinnus only for Chasidishe kids is offending and cuts straight to the issue of the wariness people had for Chasidim from their inception.
ReplyDeleteלא תתגודדו
You sound like a silly liberal.
DeleteThere is nothing wrong with having separate events designed for different communities and cultures.
Pirchei style is not accepted by all.
It has been years that the chasidishe crowd in NY had their own groups for children whether it was each kehilla separately or the general chasidish oilam with a group called Tiferes Yonah.
These were in yiddish and also run by mechanchim vs Pirchei which was in English and run by young activists and alot of them bochurim.
They are probably going to tell them stuff we don't want our kids to hear. Better this way.
DeleteIronic as chassidiss supposed was invented to be Inclusive
DeleteOnce again the litvak is hiding behind the torah and using terms like לא תתגודדו as if to create credibility to his argument. Would you allow your daughter to marry a chasid? Since you are so inclusive? This is why chasidim believe that if you cut open a litvak's heart you will find a cross.
DeleteThis how they develop Us vs Them
DeleteWhile they got the best of all worlds
we as kids were then left with bad choices of begging to join or gritting teeth
Chasidishe kids speak Polishe yiddish, or in the US some humble jumble hungarian Yinglish, the other kids don't understand that language so what is the point of them attending?
DeleteBTW is TBA, Talmud Torah Bais Avrohom, or something else.
by "TBA" he meant "to be announced"
Deleteab - Chassidim have no greater detractors than the peasants/amei ha'aretz that repeat that statement of a tzeilem in hartz. If I were Chassidish, i would be embarrassed of anyone who talks like that.
DeleteAnd I love that 'misnaged hiding behind the Torah' as though quoting, using, and listening to the Torah is a bad thing. We don't care about Torah, only what our great-grandmothers did, their recipes, songs and traditions. Sounds gypsy to me, but to each their own.
Will non heimish chassidish kids be allowed to attend
ReplyDeleteWill there ever be events for only non chassidish kids
Your kids can join
DeleteHowever the intention of this event is to enact certain takunos for the chasidishe kids regarding smartphones, AI, Social media etc…
Right now the lit is he Moscow are light ears behind the cahsidshe Moscow as parents are still alowed ot ahve smartphones at home
1. If they want.
Delete2. Any event with learning involved.
What a joke.
ReplyDeleteWhich other land was conserved?For how long?!
Biggest chutzpah most LIC board members DO NOT LIVE IN LAKEWOOD they were appointed by Ray Coles yet they are playing around with OUR tax dollars.
ReplyDeleteThey were not voted in and should have no power to buy sell or spend tax money that they have no part of.
Another glaring issue when they sell land the money goes back into their coffers.
The executive director gets 170k plus a monthly allowance of $600 for a car.
They spend $2000 for PR and marketing for a spouse of a member.
We must demand that no one be allowed to serve on a township board or commission if they are not a Lakewood resident.
Ray Coles is fully responsible but blames the LIC when questioned about the goings on

Delete& Tammany Hall
DeleteAsk most of the Chassidim that are BMG baced, and most of them will pause or not have what to say if you ask them what kind of chassid they are. That is become most are just into it for the culture, and know that TODAYS REBBES leave a lot to be desired and choose rather not to identify with them. A sad situation indeed
ReplyDeleteLook at the retarded spiked HUGE shtriemels that are now the new thing. Today no shame to wear a shtriemel with a trim beard. Totally ABSURD!
ReplyDeleteI don't wear a shtreimal or have a trimmed beard but why does the combination bother you? If you were to say no shame to wear a shtriemel and act like a ferd I would understand the issue, but a trimmed beard?
DeleteSlick style. good for Shalom bayis :>
DeleteIt just shows how strong is the koach of advertising & peer pressure. Look at Lakewood how many yeshiva lite began wearing these silly tiny brim Purim hats
ReplyDeleteLike the large brim ones were not a product of advertising & peer pressure.
DeleteHalachically, a smaller brim is better. Ohel and stuff.
I am embarrassed to read these comments. what is this Der Stürmer? The anonymity of the internet should not be a mask to hide behind. Have you been missing mussar seder?
ReplyDeletePlease all speak respectfully to one another. Just because you dress differently does not give you the right ti criticize your fellow Jew. We are all one nation. If we all dressed the same and looked the same it would be extremely boring. Let us all respect and look up to our brothers and in that Zechus may me merit to great Mosiach speedy.

ReplyDelete(continued) The achdus has to go both ways.Except on their terms, has that ever happened? That should be obvious.It never has.Organically intrinsically incapable?
ReplyDeleteThis place is the very last chance
They should Show Respect. Show respect to every dusty yungerman.
ReplyDelete( Not just to those who conveniently have titles RY
Really??? Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black? Moving to Lakewood (and no I'm not a newcomer) has shown me why Chassidus had to happen. The arrogance and exclusivety of the Yeshivaleit thinking is beyond. Not getting kids into school??? Please do not insult my intelligence with the excuse "There are so many kids here" My Bobov neighbor back in Brooklyn has 11 kids and he did not have to worry about his kids being accepted into Yeshiva.
ReplyDeleteSo a Yeshivishe school in Lakewood has to accept non-Yeshivishe kids, and Bobov is great because they accept all Bobovers.
DeleteHow many Bobov 45 children are accepted into Bobov48?
you chose to move to lakewood. no one asked you to. but you assumed that "the litvaks" have to accomodate you because you showed up and said, "Ich bin duh. Give me stuff!" i wonder how easy it would be for a litvak to show up in kiryas yoel or skver and to expect to have his kids accepted into the schools of his choice. are they arrogant and exclusive?
Deletethe truth is that only litvaks are inclusive. the litvishe yeshivos and schools are the only ones with any diversity. No chasidish school or yeshiva has any litvish or sfardish kids (most don't even have chasidish kids from any chasidus besides their own) but litvishe yeshivos and girls schools accept chasidish, sfardish etc. kids.
Besides ,where are the inclusive places that were before Bobov etc
Deletecame.
Do we want really to repeat that cycle
How many non Bobovers are in the Bobover yeshiva?
Delete& even when they are allowed in, how many intangible stuff happen to make them move elsewhere
