I am wondering whether the Hareidi Jewish community in Lakewood is considering attending the upcoming mass pro-Israel rally in Washington this Tuesday. Notably, the Baltimore Vaad Harabonim and the Agudah Yisroel have encouraged their members to participate, emphasizing the significance of this event.
ReplyDeleteAs we come together during these challenging times, I firmly believe that our unified presence at this rally will reflect our care and support for Israel, transcending religious observance differences. This demonstration of solidarity not only embodies our love for our homeland but also showcases our collective strength as a community.
In the spirit of unity, it might be pertinent to ensure that any local Hareidi rabbis have been consulted regarding this rally. Their guidance and perspective could further enrich our communal understanding and approach to this meaningful event.
The present times call for a strong display of solidarity and unity. I sincerely believe that our participation in this rally will serve as a powerful expression of Kiddush Hashem, reinforcing our shared values and support for Israel
You write 'transcending religious observance differences' as though that were a value.
DeleteCould you explain that? In our world, our religious position is our defining characteristic

DeleteRav Yitzchok Sorotzkin, Rosh Yeshiva of Telz and Lakewood Mesivta, member of the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah, and author of about 80 seforim on Shas and Tanach gave a drasha and he said at around 27 minutes, that the whole idea of going to the Washington Rally is treif like chazer. It's not going to help, it's going to make it worse - and it destroys the entire purpose of why Hashem brought this tzara on klal yisrael. As it's exactly the opposite of what Hashem wants from us.
DeleteThe hate of the non-Jews is unprecedented across the world and every gov't - it's going to become extremely dangerous outside Eretz Yisroel, (quoting
רבי יהונתן אייבשיץ / יערות דבש / but in Eretz Yisroel we have the extra special shemirah from Hashem.
Rachmana Latzlan, the demonstrations are counter-productive, the Arabs, Muslims and non-Jews are going to counter demonstrate, and they have much more people then us, and their malice and cruelty, it's opening up a tremendous sakana gedolah. It's going to antagonize all the colleges, non-Jews, and the Muslims.
These rally's should stop, and we should not go to these places. We do not belong in this places. They can incite the non-Jews around us. Chas v'shalom to think that this is what Hashem wants from us
We have to be careful and not go there. It's not our salvation.

Too bad that R Moshe didn't realize that the Holocaust was just about ain od milvado and wasn't about making events in DC.
DeleteI'm learning in Kollel and can easily be the liaison for the bus for 50k during Bain Hasdorim.
ReplyDeleteYou’re hired!
DeleteYou're not hired.
DeleteYou have no proteksia.
If truly a liaison then maybe they should try to make it useful for Yungerleit. Regardless, it is flushing money down the toilet, totally unnecessary expenditure for this "liaison".
DeleteAll working people should attend the rally. All people learning Torah full time should stay in the beis medrash.
ReplyDeleteIt depends what the rally will be if they don't say tehillim don't mention Hashemi or have a lady rabbi or kol Isha singing then it's not a place for the frum community
ReplyDeleteWe can not participate in a conservadox led rally
The Moetzes Gedoley HaTorah said that anyone who wouldn't be learning during the time should go to the Chabad led demonstration over the acquittal of the murderer of Yankel Rosenbaum HYD. The MC was the head of the then fervent "mosiach campaign" I don't recall any tehillim or mention of Hashem as it was meant to be a political. Reb Moshe Sherer was among the speakers . So were secular Jewish and non-Jewish figures that no one can agree with their religious viewpoint.
DeleteInteresting that R Moshe had no problem joining the Rabbis March on Washington at which Zionist Rabbi Wolf Gold spoke, and which was organized by Hillel Kook.
DeleteRabbi Wolf Gold was a Mizrachi Rov who was also from the founders of Torah Vodaas. He was hosted by Rav Ruderman when he was staying in Baltimore for a Mizrachi convention. (When he was asked by some why he doesn't stay by someone affiliated with Mizrachi he said "With Rav Ruderman I have one disagreement "Mizrachi" With some of those affiliated with Mizrachi I have many more...)
DeleteEh, mizrachi is mizrachi. And what about Hillel Kook who actually organized the march?
DeleteThe olam was turned off from the bullying and intimidation tactics to get the vote out it was disgusting and nauseated how young askanim on a power trip went around threatening and guilting people to vote. It worked by scaring the youngeleit but the average yidbin Lakewood was turned off
ReplyDeletenot sure why you always write the word "young" as if these guys are young. most of them are not so young. and even if they were young, why would that matter?
DeleteI see the L bus pass my house many times a day and there's barely anyone on it. I would like to know why someone is getting paid $150,000 a year to liason something that most of Lakewood doesn't even use.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it so hard to find the bus stops? It is hard to find the schedule on the town's web site. Once you find it many routes the bus stops are very vague were they are. Try getting in touch with someone well I have been since last May.
DeleteOne more thing the routes are not being updated there are shuttles going at 6:00 at night but you will not find them on the Lakewood town's web site.
The industrial Commission built a park and ride on Swarthmore. How many cars a day park there. Hint: Zero. This was a gift to the wedding hall next door, allowing the guests to use it for parking.

No politician spoke as articulately, clearly, and with moral clarity, like Hilary Clinton.
ReplyDeleteShe has Israel's back, and if she would have been in office, who knows how much better things would be?
But our Kehilla was swayed by extremism, stupidity, and demagoguery. We didn't make much of a difference, but we did make fools of ourselves.
Wow. Such passion for Hillary Clinton is something rarely seen these days. Or ever has been. I despise Trump so I'm swayed by nothing but still think he was better for EY than Mrs. Clinton would have been. I do agree that it is good he is out of office now becuase were he to support EY all the Democrats would feel obligated to brainlessly oppose it. Just to spite and disagree with Trump.
DeleteShould she get credit?yes
DeleteWhat was her record when Sec.of State?Poor
Once others have saved the country frpm where she would have taken it ,it's her last hurrah trying to be hawkish on the cheap
It is all not nogeah. We were zoche to have Biden at this important time. He is tougher on the Soviets than anyone, and the first to actually send two our our super-powerful naval battle groups with the clear intention to protect Israel. And submarines. American arms are all over the zone. "We have Israel's back." Did we ever think we'd hear a president say that?
DeleteTrump wanted to take us out of NATO. He can't. That would be up to Congress but once we are out, and it won't happen, the Soviet Union will rise again.
DeleteTrump was right for wanting to take us out of NATO. As he said when is there is no existing conflict and you move hostile soldiers closer to a countries borders you are more likely to cause a war than prevent one. Being that Putin invaded countries under Obama and Biden but not with Trump he seems to have been correct. Trump is the only president in the past 100 years to not to mix US soldiers into new conflicts and decrease the amount in previous ones. Trump brokered more peace treaties than any president in recent history. As above I despise Trump. But credit has to be given where it's due.
DeleteAll Biden has to do is throw Israel under the bus and his poll numbers would skyrocket! Since the war his poll numbers in the liberal states started to tank - the rumbling from the democratic side to replace Biden suddenly skyrocketed - really scary
DeleteIncorrect.
DeleteAgain, give him credit
Primarily all it shows how dominant Jews are behind scenes in both parties
a.we really carry far bigger culpability for all the bad stuff democrats enact than we ever will admit
b.the anti-semites ARE on to something
Yes that Zionist Rav Zev Gold that founded Toire vdaas the shver of Rav Dov Katz Baal tnuas hamusar talmid of the alter of Slabodke and which Rav Rudeman gave Edison that any fact on the alter of Slabodke which he wrote and he was present was 100% accurate. As zionis as Rav Meir Simcha or the Dvar Avrhom or the Marcheshes. I guess that Rav Lazer Silver was there that’s also no good because in your eyes he was also a Zionist Rav Yakov Kamenetski was also a Zionist as when he came to America he joined Mizrochi. So was Rav Yisroel Rosemberg head of Agudas Harabonim and instrumental to help Rav Aron in Hatzolo and founding BMG. Yes very Zionist because in your ignorance everyone is a Zionist except the one they told that they are not. To equate that to have someone that represents open orthodoxy really leaves me wondering. I guess by u if u r not a satmerer you are a Zionist like the Ponovizer Rov R Chazkel Sarna R Chaim shmulebitz and the list goes on . Never mind if he was a Talmid Chochom or helped build Toire in America just dismiss him as a Zionist
ReplyDeleteZionism ,pre-state, especially in the West was a different animal than what it represented after
Delete"also a Zionist as when he came to America he joined Mizrochi"
False.He was concerned the poilishe in Toronto that he wouldn't be accepted because he was an agudist ,while they were mizrahi
You think all the organizers of the rallies for Soviet Jewry were kosher? Yet the gedolim’s only shailah was whether it would help them or hurt. Not these cheshbonos about joining with non frum. Or when R Zelig Epstein sent his yeshiva to join the dc rally in 2002. They also weren’t all frum. So what, it’s obvious that we are joining with them for a very specific purpose.
DeleteSo the ish emes for parnoso joined a treife party. Don’t think so . Regardless the point is his dismissive statement of a Odom godol and a talmid chochom that went door to door begging for children to teach Toire in TVD. I guess he is from the Lakewood school where you reject tinokos shel beis Rabon al chet avoisom keneged lo yomusu bonim al Ovois . Has nothing to do with what mizrachi was or is . It’s the dismissive attitude with out knowledge of who he is speaking. It Reminds me of what R Chaim said when the maiticher joined the hanole of the original Toiro vdaas in Lita . Oiv ich alt nit fun Mizrochi un de yeshiva ich ken altn fun Harav Reines un afilu lomir zogn ich alt nit fun Harav Reines ich ken veiter altn fur dem Maiticher
ReplyDeleteYou r very assertive Mr Y Cohen very assertive indeed
ReplyDeleteWho ?
DeleteRav Cohen?Which?Which comment?
I just saw the Lakewood newspapers. All this achdus, all this talk of hakaros hatov, this last election shows that this whole system is absolutely bizarre. All I asked for was for the lowest elected position to work with, the BOE, and I could not get that. Shouldn't the achdus, making our voice heard, be behind the one issue that no one thought could be won, yet the most important in our history and the court victory having the attention of the highest levels of all three branches of government? Why are we sending someone to Trenton to have a seat at the table, if we are already there, and own the table?
ReplyDeleteAnd then you have the lawyer saying he is opposed because if he would support us, the BOE would be sued. 1) there is no such thing as educational malpractice 2) contract law does not apply 3) sovereign immunity 4) it is the state's fault, not the BOE's. There is no cause of action.
I don't care because I am not going to deal with those that opposed us in court, kept me at the bottom of the company ladder, and would not even allow me to speak to them at this crucial time in the litigation, or during the last ten years. Not because they opposed me in their court papers, not because some said to rabbanon that they don't trust me, but because they have breached the pubic trust. It is not nekama to not to "do favors" for those who have breached the pubic trust and will likely continue to do so. It is not even clear to me that they are acting even in their own interest. So I would suggest that they get some new people into office and get them to learn the formula, and then tell me what they need at the right time, show me that these people are honest, and I will deal with them.
When our bussing, special education, SCHI and other out-of-district special education, taxation, spending, non public stuff, is all up for grabs, and all of it would anyway have been at risk due to our debt, and the state has been blaming us for all our problems for two decades, so we know what the state is going to say against Lakewood, that we are rich, we didn't change zoning to prevent Jewish people moving here (mamash discriminatory to say that), the interests of these people will not be represented. I won't be talking to all those who did not let me talk to them. They are going to need elected officials that I can deal with, or better yet, I trust enough that I can get out and let them take over.
It has nothing to do with hashkafa, da'sas Torah, gedolim; it's all bottom line business. We are risking everything for achdus for the purpose of achdus (I mean really now, you have achdus for someone just entering politics but not someone already winning there), but not achdus for the sake of the continuity of our economic viability as a kehilla. I will do my best to further what make sense as to all the interests, but the kids will take priority, not the bosses, or whatever it is these people are pushing and selling out to the governor for.
It zichur is b'syata d;shmaya, a blessing in disguise, because if we settle, such a settlement will be only for Lakewood. On the other hand, if we fight to the Supreme Court and win, it will help every frum community in NJ, and by way of example, America.
I know the limits of my own capabilities and I do not have the capacity to understand what the people of Lakewood want or need. I do know they need the formula fixed, and I know how to turn around the public schools, but I cannot be involved in defending all the other interests of the kehilla. Yes, I can defend against the claims of the state, that we have wealth, we should raise taxes, of course not as well as if I had help, but I do not understand the needs of the mosdos and other interests, and would rather have people to work with that have a better understanding of our frum community. It is not about me other than that I want to win like a mountain climber, because the victory, "it is there," but ultimately, let others, honest people, take charge. A L
The assembly campaign took all the oxygen out of all other issues. The roshei Yeshiva for the first time did not endorse the VAAD. Had anyone noticed the Lang slate for the boe would have won in a landslide.
DeleteI guess there is next year. It seems to me we will have more candidates than positions open. What a glorious day it will be, for any community of free men, having many good people who want to serve the public. Lakewood will be a lighthouse to the world.
DeleteThe problem is that all of the big people knew. That is totally messed up because they understand the formula and what we are doing more than most people. So there is no excuse other than business as usual, meaning this guy has this turf, and the other has his own turf, and maybe some nursing home peddler from NY got involve but was too occupied to hear the most important issue in frum community economic stability in American history. Everything is so bizzare. It cannot e explained other than in a way that people are just plain not smart.
DeleteAchdus is a euphemism for la Cosa nostra
Delete1. The 'fixing the formula' campaign was abysmal. It did not take into account human nature. No campaign material was distributed, nobody was told what the issue was, and nobody was asked to vote for you. Even so, you received around 4,000 votes.
Delete2. You are right that the leaders should have helped. But you should know that help from the 'leaders' comes with a price, and you don't want to pay that price.
3. Those that count, the true Talmidei Chachamim in Lakewood, supported Lang and his suit. The problem is that they are not photogenic, or rich.
Am I right in not wanting to work with these people when the time comes or do I have to swallow my pride for the good of the kehilla? I have been holding a grudge against the Igud and BOE since 2014 when they shouted me down b'rabbim when I announced that I was filing suit. That probably would have change if a single one of them apologized did something l'maasa to help. These guys are all words. The babble as much as I type. But you can just turn the page on the written word while if you are in an audience, we have to listen to thier chanifa, hakaros hatov. I mean really, in 2014, all the emails back and forth, thnking this guy or that guy (for being a jerk or whatever kissing up they do, I still have them all. I think I am going to post one), Will it be wrong to tell them to "get lost" when they will come with their palms open when it is all over? I don't know. I guess we will have to see what they want and if it avaricious, we will tell them off but for the common good, I guess we will have to hear them out beforehand. A L
DeleteAfter kissing up to all of them at the huge political meeting that would determine Lakewood's (non)future, saying yesher kosch to this gangstelach, thank you to this wimp, hakaros hatov to this committeeman who talked and talked, "Duh, Let's register our kids in the public schools," this email went out from the BOE president to all bosselachs on July 07, 2014.
DeleteHatzlocha rabba! As to the Lang's petition, our attorneys had concern about the way the petition was structured and strong possibility of it being dismissed. Last week we conveyed to Mr.Lang our concerns, he said he needs to look in to it with his teacher/mentor from ELC and yesterday he said that he is going to amend the petition. For us to litigate this petition will cost hundreds of thousands and before we bring it to the boards vote we need to make our due diligence that we wont be left with egg on our face. There is a meeting hosted by ECL on July 15 re: Former Bacon District Case which i asked the superintended and our attorney to attend.
Thank you
(Name deleted)
I set them up with Sciarra and they joined him in reviving the Bacon case in which Judge Metzger in 2003 found that Lakewood was rich, wasting money on courtesy bussing, and should be taxing more rather than asking for more state aid. I tried to explain that we needed to start over and create a new record. Guess, we did just that, but then they tried to get that record thrown out of court in 2021 by saying that I did not allow the district administrators to testify about how good the public schools in Lakewood really are (they testified that they were not good) and how much they improved. Such hypocrisy, perfidy and avariciousness. And this whole thing about Schnall is so dumb because the man also opposes the court ruling. The public celebration and yesher ko'achs are misdirected. And the newspapers got it wrong. His election shows the political misfortune of Lakewood, not flexing of its muscle, because it is all going to implode when we are going to need everyone to stand together to get more state aid and to forgive the debt, but there will be too much bad baggage to get it done in an optimal way. Everyone is going to be at this brother's neck fighting over how the law should be written or who should pay for what (state or Lakewood, or Township, who knows?) and who should get whatever. I just hope I am finished by then and won't have to deal with because I only have one goal, fixing the formula. Who gets what is not my concern.
Look how much Rabbi Weisberg tried to bring the Igud together with me. The man has fought for me since the beginning but no one listened. Instead, in a close session vote, the BOE decided that July to not work with me. This is before the professor entered the case as an amicus in 2015:

URU YESHEYNIM MiSHENASCHEM!!
See below the comments below from the State of NJ’s #1 authority on school funding , Prof. Tractenberg. Prof. T thinks Lang’s work is “brilliant”.
So LETS JUMP ON THE BANDWAGON AND GET THIS GOING TO THE GOALPOST!!!
Since the lawsuit obviously has merit, why not bring Lang onto the team? This is his life and he has immersed himself in all the issues. Why not bump him up slightly in the District (he is already an employee) so that he can do 90+% of the work as an employee of the District?
Let’s cut to the chase. “Our” attorneys are asleep at the wheel with their million dollar fees and Lang got this going on his own on a shoestring and virtually no help from the establishment. Why should we pay hundreds of thousands for some clueless outsiders to second guess his work? It will only delay and stifle
his efforts. Just let them do a simple review AND SIGN ON. Ditto for the Township attorney. Enough of this stalling… Give the man his due and Kadima with the lawsuit.
Mosdos – this this our hope for long-discussed formula change. Signed, sealed and delivered. If we can’t get our own BOE and Township behind it, then we really blew it and should all hand in our resignations…"
