 - A  Facebook post by a Lakewood media site triggered a slew of anti semitic comments and disparaging remarks about the Lakewood orthodox Jewish community and other frum communities posted on its facebook page.

The caption read "Don’t know about your state, but here in New Jersey, we cannot wait to pay that toll on the GSP". The comments were quick to come with age old antisemitic  drivel such as  "Dirty jersey" "I see a quarter" "The Jeep was not at fault, the minivan of course!!switched lanes going very fast!! Roaches" "Just your typical Lakewood resident that shouldn't be allowed to drive" "Hate to sound racist but in the 732 and 848 I’m sure we know by the medic present at the scene who caused that accident and most of them in that area".

    1. How about lo sik'chu cofer l'nefesh harotze'ach
      Doesn't matter how wealthy, how important a figure, how much the loss to the whole community if the fellow is forced to stay indefinitely in the ir miklat
      Even though he guarantees to offer full support for scores of families to reside (there or elsewhere) in his stead


      How can that be

    2. I don't see how that is related to this piece but I did see a few explanations: a) no matter how pressing something may be a person isn't obligated to risk their own life which hed be doing if he left the ir miklat as hed be exposing himself to the predations of the go'el b) as he is released when the kohen gadol dies we're afraid that when hes on the outside he may figure out a way to dispose of him to effectuate his release (meshech chochmah)

    3. I may have misunderstood your q.

      As for why we dont allow for that is that if even inadvertent murder doesnt come along with onerous and difficult penalties society as a whole will slowly begin to treat it as less than the worst aveirah that it is which is why we also dont allow the intentional murderer to pay his way

      It was a facetious rhetorical commentary on our present tzibbur

  8. Two weeks ago mispacha mag had articles about ponzi schemes, and if it sound too good to be true, it probably is. This past week first ad in mag is for an investment firm claiming to offer 16% yearly return.....

    How stupid

    1. 16% is the average return of the S&P, hardly scam rates.

      Delete
    2. Firstly the recent average annual return of S&P 500 is closer to 12% or less depending on the years you are putting into the average . Secondly any broker who tries to sell you a S&P 500 based mutual fund saying that you will earn 15% returns doing so , is being dishonest.

  9. Jewish influencer? I though that the guy in the advertisement wasn't Jewish! Certainly doesnt look it. Is the "I'm Jewish but you'd never know" the new influencer look?
