    2. I think it was too late. I did not send it to them until Thursday morning.

      I just hope at least one outlet supports us because the BOE is going to agree with the Commissioner when she reports to the Court that education has improved and therefore the Court should not do anything. Readers should hold the Lakewood press accountable for allowing it to happen.

      Newspapers don't form public opinion but they do influence what people talk about. By not reporting, they are stifling public discussion on the most important public issue in our lifetimes over which the people of Lakewood will have say. A Lang

  2. So far, the only candidates that Talmidei Chachamim support are those for 'Fixing the Formula', with a clear letter from the greatest Lakewood has to offer.

    Not askanim, not noise makers, but people whose lives are all about learning.

    Go out and vote for the 'Fixing the Formula' candidates, and quickly. You and your wife. Don't wait. You will gain from it.

    1. The overwhelming majority of Lakewood Talmidei Chachamim do not say public opinions about who to vote for.

    2. This "you and your wife" line is highly offensive and I will call it out every time. My husband voted for the Vaad candidates, I did not. We are different people.

    3. Good that you call it out every time.

      Because you are offended.

      Nice.

  3. Just like Mike Pence Avi schnall should drop out and suspend his campaign. We don't need more sinas yisroel in our friendly district. When antisemitism is raging all over the world right in our front yard of NYC and all over NJ. The Republicans have always been good to yidden and defended us. There's a chance they can get back the majority in the New Jersey assembly after many democrats plan to vote republican out of anger at local school boards for pushing lgbt education.
    Do we realy need everyone to blame Lakewood and the yidden for flipping a seat for our own financial gain and no care about anyone else?
    This is a time of post kristalnacht and we think we own the world.

    Rabbosei the olam must wake up and not be fooled by empty promises of utopia which will never happen. We are playing with fire.
    Look at history what happens when web turn on our friends.

    1. You all have it wrong. This is not flipping the district for our financial gain. We are soon to face financial disaster because the payments on our loans will be more than our state aid. That is probably why the state is taking so long for the $93 million loan that was needed for the BOE budget last May. How can anyone thin we are getting a financial gain when we are borrowing $100 million a year and the governor does not have the power to forgive the debt. I think, the opposite, they are sacrificing financial gain. They are giving up on the best chance of fixing the state formula. They got us into this mess, which will ultimately bankrupt the town and destroy our property value. Why would you think they were gaining financially?

  4. spoke to numerous local rabbonim over the past few days they all shook their head about the dangerous Sakana we are doing but said there's nothing they can do they are not strong to fight the regime.

    Is anyone who votes not scared of causing potential harm to yidden by raitzing uhn the akum
    We are getting bullied and put in danger.
    The olam must speak up and give the roshei yeshiva the courage to speak their minds.

  6. You can't make this up how sick and disgusting such arrogance the self appointed vaad posted a video on their propaganda website seeking the public input how to revitalize the downtown. They are obviously petrified as the olam plans to vote for Hershel and are pretending to care about issues that he's been involved in.
    Did the vaad ever ask for input about themselves about traffic taxes or all the corruption that's going on
    This shows how low they will go with no shame to hold on to power

  9. I came to Lakewood in 1985. There was a minority of townspeople and a majority of yeshiva people. I thought that everything outside Yeshiva that was not the original township was Chelm and everything inside Yeshiva was chochma. Three hundred people learning same gemarah. No stupidity would get past even one or two people.

    I still find that it is the talmiday hayeshiva that ask, "What if." No one else on the outside seems to grasp the matter because I have never heard a, "What if?" or a contrary sevarah.

    I'm not even entitled to know if there is any da'as at all on the other side, not just an willingness to cooperate. They're like phantoms (almost) always hiding. A Lang

    1. If you're the only normal one in the room....... Your approach hasn't really worked. Maybe it's time to understand the enemy and beat them at their own game using their own tactics. If the people who are going to be stuck with the bill don't care, then why should you. As R Levi Yitzchok said, I set out to change the world and ended up realizing I can only change myself.

    2. a.It's debatable who that quote was attributed to
      b. That HAS been our continuous problem till now
      the self centered attitudes-even if only because decent people has given 'changing others'

      iirc Some of those who it has been attributed to & many ,many others, spent their lives changing others -to our mutual benefit!
      Only kleine or self centered people give up to fix themselves only

    3. Reb Aaron, your mistake is not thinking that people don't have chachma. People have chachma and sechel, they can analyze information.
      But you have not given them the information. People don't know what you have done, they don't know what is at stake. There is a lack of knowledge here, and you have never explained yourself to those who are not living the sugya like you are.

    4. ab - you are missing the boat.

      Thousands of learning people understand Reb Aaron. It's the baalebatim whose minds have been warped. He is not the only normal one in the room.

  10. Even were the better candidates to win as hoped
    The kleptocrats who are opposing them will come on over afterward with heavy combo of carrot & stick tandem cajoling them to their interests
    All the while utterly attempting to convince them that it was they who had helped them achieve the results
