- FAA First report: Beth Medrash Govoha of America has filed a lawsuit against New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), FAA News has learned. The yeshiva plans to redevelop the former Woodlake Country Club on New Hampshire Avenue in Lakewood with classrooms, a student activity center, residential dormitories with 928 beds, 9 residential/housing buildings for married student housing, 1,800 parking spaces and a child-care facility. The issue at hand is that the DEP is demanding that the yeshiva obtain a costly and timely CAFRA permit for the dormitory and residential housing buildings, and the yeshiva apparently wants to avoid this regulation. see full story at FAAnews

שבת היא מלזעוק
ReplyDeleteעת צרה ליעקב וממנו יושע
בימים טרופים אלו אשר כל בית ישראל מצפים ומיחלים לישועת ה' הקרובה עלינו לחזק הברית בינינו לאבינו שבשמים. אשרי נשי חיל שקיבלו על עצמם לקבל שבת מוקדם להביא ברכה אל בתיהם.
שבת מקור הברכה
ראוי ונכון להוסיף בקדושת השבת ביציאתה גם כן, בפרט לאנשים, וכל שכן לבני תורה. תוספות שבת היא חיוב מעיקר הדין על כן הננו קואץראים לכל הציבור החשוב להוסיף בקדושת השבת לכל הפחות עשר דקות אחר זמן צאת השבת לשיטת רבינו תם. וכל המוסיף מוסיפין לו חיים ברכה ושלום.
ובזכות השבת ה' ישמרנו ויצילנו מכל נגע וצער.
בציפיתא לישועה,
וועד הרבנים
It would be smart to allow any "New school" for the first few years to be able to accept girls before the other schools so they can establish themselves as a "good" school. Having them wait with the rest of the schools will only cause them to get leftover students. Thereby becoming a mediocre school where no-one wants to go. In short it is beneficial for everyone to respect a new school and give them first dibs. As we need more of the so called "Good Schools".
ReplyDeleteMany years ago that was the policy.
DeleteIf that's what they wanted.If
DeleteTo our dear devoted Police, Hatzolah, Chaveirim and Shomrim incompetents. The Mashgiachs levaya was a logistics and safety disaster and embarrassment. I'd like to share a few logical points that will serve you in good stead, should you ever be needed again in the future.
ReplyDeleteThe vip section of the building should be secured from before the event begins as a sterile area with only vips permitted entry. The sterile area should be secured by double barricades and manned the entire event. The sterile area should include the entire path that the vip's/sefer Torah/mita need to traverse.
The entrance to the building included in the above.
The front entrance doors to bais Yitzchok Should have been removed before the levaya and the double barricades should have extended all the way until the waiting hearse in middle of the street. That would have allowed the grandchildren to pick up the mita and marched straight until the end of 7th Street and placed it in the hearse without having the horrendous embarrassment of chaveirim members screaming and shouting and all the shoving trying to create a path where there should have been one from the beginning. It would also have negated the need for all the fellow language and shouting and cursing by the cops trying to clear an area along 7th Street too.
The crowding and stampede was expected and preventable.
The magen Avraham says there's only a second tosfos shabos on motzei shabos and you can't do more
ReplyDeleteThe levaya was nebach used as a prop for all the organizations to show off their new big toys it was a bizayon with too many organizations involved trying to be the one in charge
ReplyDeleteThe Mashgiach would have invited every one of those boys to come to his levaya and feel part of it. The Mashgiach loved them like his own children and would have been very happy to know they were showing off their toys at his levaya and feeling part of it.
Deleteagree.nebach, here we are
Delete"would have been very happy to know they were showing off their toys at his levaya and feeling part of it."
DeleteFalse.He had his limits & expanded the the divide between between these noisemakers & cherished yungeleit
The screaming into the mike at the levaya was a bizayon and uncalled for. The crowds stood orderly with no where to go.
ReplyDeleteIt was the screaming and pushing from all the machers that fueled the melee, instead the Rabbi from Far Rockaway publicly humiliated the Lakewood bnei yeshiva to the entire world.
It happens every big event when people on a power trip push themselves in treating the masses like little children feeling entitled because they are wearing some sort of jacket with a emblem
I’m glad I left before that point (unfortunately, probably the most important time) fact is the be seen it too many times way too many people want to get close to the Aron hold touch it I have no idea but far from a kavod hameis… maybe we can look at the drone footage and ban these people from levayos! Put the drones to use instead of just one big disturbance/distraction- they should be banned do they really need to fly them every 5 minutes over the crowd?
DeleteWe in Litvak Lakewood hold keminhag hagra, that there is no such thing as tosfos SHabbos, only Tosfos Yom Kippur
ReplyDeleteLevaya should've been feld in forest bm. Forest bm vip and family only. Carey woman. All other bm hookups. No foot or vehicle traffic from on Forrest from 11 st till county line. No vehicle traffic on forest from 8 st till 11 st. People line up behind barricades at 11 st, and then you wait. Forest bm empties with crowd instructed to wait on 11st, only then when bm is empty then mitah exits forest bm towards county line only then do barricades open for people to follow. It's not so complicated.
ReplyDeleteSince when does anyone in BMG go kiminhag HaGrah!! Lol Bunch of wannabe litvaks
