  2. i think i speak for many in lakewood, when i say that we will wait for the what the vaad tells us to do in elections as in general i dont follow politics but DO follow Daas Torah and i have hakaras hatov to the vaad for helping me with a HUD application

    1. That's why 70% of Lakewood ignored the vaad in last elections when they endorsed Murphy and they followed their daas Torah also. Stop with pushing your daas torah against others..
      The vaad no longer is relevant as long as they are not appointed by the people through a fair election process and no members are allowed to have any monetary gain from the taxes like the lcsc
      You speak for nobody but yourself

    2. The Va'ad is a group of Ba'aeli Batim. If you claim you follow Da'as Torah, then attribute that to Ba'alei Batim, you are the opposite of a Da'as Torah follower, you are the one Reb Elchanan was talking against.

    3. An even bigger # sat on their hands.They weren't completely ready to totally have ignored the Vaad back then
      They're ready gung ho ready

    4. Typical, its always about how you gained personally (w your HUD issue) and not whats best for the klal as a whole. (Agav, Most Vaad Members are living in tax exempt homes.)

    5. I am low income and get HUD so property taxes are not nogea to me.

    6. Anon - 11:23 - you are right. Everyone should vote for the candidate that is best for themselves, don't let anyone take away your vote and use it for the 'klal'.
      Even if there was any method of verifying that the Klal indeed will gain from your vote this way or that, you do not owe them that.

      If everybody started to vote their own interests, instead of voting the shita, we would all be a lot better off.

    7. If so how come we needed a Vaad or the OU or Agudah to tell us what are our own interests

      Delete

    8. Always backfires.
      Been there "own interests", done that
      Always backfires.
      sooner or later. Then the whining comes.

      When we vote for larger aims the politicians value us

    9. Vaad helped u with hud application?!?? Sincerely, when do they fill out hud applications? Was it AK that filled it out ?

      Delete
    10. The Va'ad, OU and Agudah tell you what their interests are.

      Vote your interests, not Hunter Biden's or Ivanka Trump. Who has policies that benefit you? Immigration is not your worry, neither is the DOJ's investigating Trump. What's best for you? And you only.
      You choose a plumber based on your own needs, you choose a landscaping company based on your needs. Choose your politician the same way.

      No shitos, only practicalities.

    11. "No shitos, only practicalities"
      Who made that up
      Show us a source maybe please

    12. Mishpacha #970 R"ch Av articles by Avi Schick and Yaakov Menken on why voting narrow interests or gelt are a bad idea

  3. I think I speak for many in Lakewood, when I say that I will vote AGAINST Avi Schnall, who brought an unmitigated disaster on Yidden in NJ through his Jackson lawsuits which helped antisemitism flourish.

  4. If you don’t mind elaborating on Ned Thompson’s support for R’ Eiseman? I don’t recall any statements etc. on the other hand a random Senator Joseph Cryan was the one that demanded we look into the Prosecutor!
    So now he did a campaign walk with Schi and people are falling for it??

  5. Hershel You are out of your mind. Or really our minds. You say out whats on all our minds......Go Hershel go!

  6. Why is everybody so anti Schnall? What am I missing? Without bashing him [its the day after Y"K] can someone politely explain what positions he takes that I shouldn't vote for him.

    1. First of all because he's running as a Democrat joining a party of רשעים רוצחים who are bringing sdom and amorah to our communities that's for a start

      The sinas Yisrael it is already causing among the neighbors of republican Ocean county look how the surrounding towns are responding putting us in potential Sakana

      Challenging a republican incumbent who was nice helpful to our community going against what even the vaad always preaches Hakoras Hatov to incumbents
      He is the face of Jackson lawsuits even if it was right but there's animosity to the olam

      He's not supporting Arthur Lang in bringing tuition relief to Lakewood

      There will be letters of support by the moetzes and Lakewood rosh yeshivas but in the past elections people don't buy it and or simply stay home and don't vote

      And if he's promising vouchers in democrat liberal new Jersey
      There's a bridge in Brooklyn or by now Toms River

    2. They're ready now
      The Vaad is as good as dead
      the candidate could possibly be good for your daughter's birthday party

  11. Why didn't hefkervelt publish the terrible chillul Hashem on Y"K that happened in Tel Aviv in EY? I completely didn't know about it until the gedolim referenced it as a reason that the war started and how we are all at fault for not doing teshuva and mourning the terrible chillul Hashem that occurred when secular yidden disrupted and desecrated YK tefillos.
