Motzei Yom Tov chol Hamoed sukkos
Sukkos first night "Hashem loves us" "its a Neis" was what everyone said as the rain  suddenly stopped at 9:30pm after pouring for a week straight and despite the weather forecast calling for rain showers all night, people held out and were hopeful to be able to eat with a bracha in the Sukkah. BH not only were they able to eat but to alsoas sleep in the sukkah until it rained 7:30am briefly  but the day meal was spared again from the rain. Nice weather predicted for rest of week with rain on Friday and shabbos. In Brooklyn the rain stopped by the zman and yidden were able to eat with a לשבת בסוכה right away. Rabbinic in many shuls spoke about the nest and the fact that Hashem showed us he wants us to join him in the succa.

  3. Go to a woman's dress store. The material from the Tish beketches that the Hungarian Rebbes wear seem to come from there. LOL!

    1. It seems you are still from the immature babies who get a kick out of making fun of Hungarians or Rebbes. But just for your ignorance, I have news for you that galitzianer, Russian and Hungarian Rebbes dress alike...........

      Delete
    2. The Lubavitcher Rebbe did not have colorful dresses, neither did the Slonimer Rebbes.
      So Litvishe and Russian do not.

      The Ukrainian may dress in their wives' dresses, but they learned that from their rich Ruzhiner cousins.

    3. It sounds like you have taken part of the Tisha Kabin of speech from the noshim. Seyug lachochma shetika. Btw even though no one knows who you are. It is known that tenuos hachitzoniyos are mashpia on the penimiyes, so be carefull on your actions even bechadrei chadorim!

      Delete
    4. Actually in Chabad the rebbes used to dress in white on Shabbos (as in the famous picture of Tzemach Tzedek) in accordance with the Arizal. The Rashab discontinued it saying that he is not on the madreaga to dress himself in accordance with sifrei kabbalah. So don't extrapolate from them to other groups.

    5. Chabadskers claim the last rebbe was bigger than anyone (ask them)

    Psa. The public school in jackson according to jackson opra request was built in that area near west gate bordering lakewood so it will stop lakewood people from expanding. That's anti..... if so making a concert in that place with mixed seating explains every thing about what that building was built for

    2. Yup why is mixed seating in the tents at Roberts carnival events ok and no one says boo

      Delete
    3. Maybe it's because Miami boy's choir is not unzereh?

      Delete
    4. The Robert's carnival is an event for children so unless you're going to give each family their own area with a mechitza it needs to be mixed. A sit down concert on the other hand where you wouldn't bring kids who can't sit and will end up being mostly adults who may feel inclined to dance along is a bigger issue. That said, the powers that be still do not want to allow concerts in lakewood no matter if it's separate seating or even only men or girls.

    5. That's why they make their concerts in Philadelphia, and give them another name.

    1. You may feel inclined to tip your hat to him however the distinction is not Is material. It doesn't make a difference if you try or you don't try, or if it's made for children, and Adults must come along too, Or made for adults and children obviously tag along...... Or if you call it a concert or a carnival. A mixed show or mixed anything should be either assur for all, or mutar for all.

      Delete
    2. It would be a good idea for you to sit down with an actual learned individual and discuss your thoughts regarding this before posting your drivel.... like- find out what the issue is by a concert vs a kids story or jumping Jack show

      Delete
    3. Actually one might be worse then the other, however mingling of both genders is assur as per mishnah in hachalil in meseches sukka Regardless of the purpose of the gathering....... Obviously it does not depend on trends or traditions...... And obviously it seems like it doesn't suit your tastes either...but so much for drivel....

  29. I figured out how to post the comments the Senate leadership made about our Court victory. I am baffled why very few people notice that everyone in Trenton is already at the table to discuss Lakewood but no one from Lakewood. What is going on? I can't figure the politics of this town. Let me do the lawyering. Can't someone else do the politics? At least sit at the table with me and the governor, commissioner, attorney general, and legislative leadership. It is so funny that we talk about getting a seat at "the table," but we already have one. It baffles the mind that I have to do this alone from Lakewood.

    You have to see this clip. The two most powerful people in NJ talking about funding Lakewood after our victory and few in town even noticed.

    1. I was there last week around 8:45 AM for shachris. Jammed full of bnei torah davening. 2 full full minyanim.
      So the fact that you show up there at 11:00 when those that aren’t bnei torah are there to daven, it’s a disgrace? You shouldn’t be there then if you’re of that level holy! You shouldn’t be davening after zman kriyas shema with the brachos!

    1. Chinnuch is not easy. BH you have a place like Mordy’s Shtibel and so many others in town to give an opportunity for you to explain to your children that it’s not just 1 box fits all. We love yidden. We love yidden just trying to have a connection to Hashem. Explain to him it’s not necessarily your mesorah or minhag, but it’s beautiful that every yid wants to be closer to Hashem.

    3. If your kid has a choice of leaving completely vs going to Mordy's which would you rather? From the crowds that are there it seems there's something attractive about it. Personally I've never been, but that's because my upbringing was traditional. If you raise your kid with every modern innovation, than why should they daven old fashion? We introduce modern techniques in chinuch, modern clothing styles, modern haircuts, take them to not jewish events, not traditional entertainment, but want to draw the line at tefilla? This is just a natural next step.

  32. When your cookie cutter shul won't do it for your kid, then try something a little different. Actually it's really based on chasidus which connected the masses, and not just one size fits all. I've been there and it's incredible. And I'm a die hard litvak coming from the "yoshon" if you know what that means. I even recorded the motzei yom Kippur speech at the seudah, it was really inspiring.
