- Lakewood mayor Ray Coles lashed out at a recent township meeting on those who criticized him and the other committee members for hiding from the public with only virtual meetings held once a month on zoom for an average of 10 minutes. He said "People who think that that this meeting is the only thing that the township committee does for the residents of Lakewood, should open their eyes and get out a little bit the way they tell us too it is a 24/7 job the best part of the job is being out in the public getting to meet people to hear their ideas to work with them in solving problems"

Does anyone know when Rav Moshe Hillel Hirsch Shlita is going back to Israel?
ReplyDeleteThe satan is camouflaged in the Mishpacha/Feminists. This is against our mesora, and should not be celebrated. We are doing to ourselves what the nazis were unable to do to us.
ReplyDeleteIs Artscroll books against the mesora. Is Jewish Observer against the mesora ?
DeleteMishpachah has featured pictures of women before (hillary clinton) etc.
DeleteThis is not the first time.
Nor is it the worst thing ever. The Jewish Observer allowed pictures of women so not sure which mesorah you're referring to.
There are plenty of reasons not to like Mishpachah and all you need to do is stop purchasing it and allowing it into your home. That's what I and many others do, but no reason to act as if this is the downfall of Klal Yisroel.
The Jewish Observer ONLY allowed Black & whites pictures.The only color pics originally were movie posters,singers, or the like. & to the alte yidden those was THE personification of treife America!!
DeleteEvery frum media avoided pics of Hillary & women in general till way after her defeat. Go check that up yourself. (The discussion was in 2016 what should happen in case she becomes president)
DeleteHow far they descended in such a short span, it seems almost long ago by now
The Jewish Observer is not Frum Media? Der Yid is not Frum Media?
DeleteThis no women policy is a shande on Klal Yisroel. Stop stupid rules.
Besides the 10-minute zoom meeting, our committee members are just busy shoveling cash down the toilet. Their infamy will live on forever.
ReplyDeleteMishapacha is often veers to the left of the Jewish Action, only we're cursed with having it every week vs every few months
ReplyDeleteThis is unbelievable Mayor Coles who is hiding from the public and the entire committee are denying the public an opportunity to attend in person meetings that have the chutzpah to tell us that we should get out there.
ReplyDeleteHow despicable and condescending!
Are we expected to meet them in the baking aisle of the local supermarket?
Shame on our elected officials in Lakewood for treating the taxpayers as garbage
The ignorant tax payers who keep on voting them in are to blame.
DeleteWhy? This is what the people want! They voted for this!
DeleteFurthermore ,even those of us who don’t fully agree with the blanket policy of omitting women’s images from publications, should defend & justify those that do: If you allow female images, you will have to start discriminating among them, deciding which are not tznius enough or too provocative. You will have to do lots and lots of specific censorship, which lots and lots of people will complain about and cry “discrimination”. Advertisers will continually test and push the limits. And anti-frum publications and MO-lite whiners will have a field day writing about the terrible discrimination and censorship in the hareidi magazines, just the same as they do now anyhow.
ReplyDeleteI am satisfied with our elected officials, as a HUD recipient I am not too worried about property taxes
ReplyDeleteLol there are no longer any rentals that are within the allowance for HUD recipients.
DeleteKamala is ready to serve. Is the American public ready to be served?
ReplyDeleteNot just pro-feminists are happy. Even those who don't care about feminism are rejoicing that a stupid, new age rule, not made or established, or even agreed upon, by any Gedolim, is going down the tubes.
ReplyDeleteThe Munkatcher Rebbe cooperated with the local newspapers for his daughter's chassuna report, and the family sent a picture of the Kallah in her Kallah dress.
Der Yid had regular pictures of women in normal state of dress.
The Jewish Observer printed pictures from girl's camps, women's challah bakes in Russia, and female writers.
A Tznius obsession is not 'extra kedusha' or benign. It is a degeneration of our humanity, a distortion of our Torah, and a cause for serious perversion.
As the guy above wrote, that was in a different time, when the norms were accepted by everyone as norms.
DeleteToday, when the norms are constantly being pushed further and further, you have to make a red line somewhere.
Do we want the magazines publishing trans women also? Where do we draw the line?!
Its a different world than even 30 years ago.
Ditto.Actually it was a universal agreed rule.It was so evident there wasn't even a need to make official.It was assumed to be obvious but while we blissfully were unaware the yetzer hara was chipping away.
Deletehayom asei kach,machar asei kach, eventually..
The magazines keep proving that in so many ways
"The Jewish Observer is not Frum Media? Der Yid is not Frum Media?
ReplyDeleteThis no women policy is a shande on Klal Yisroel. Stop stupid rules."
Are you too stupid to follow the posts before yours? Or just pretending to be stupid to score like Goebbels: " If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."
The Jewish Observer? Der Yid ?Find a single old color photo! Make our evening
How about promote showing flirtatious pics too?Fun for all! We're there already with the ads pretty much anyway.Mishpacha etc. had a policy originally.& everybody managed fine.Except some incessant oisvorfs.
Yea cut to the chase. Stop stupid rules of tznius. Modesty is a shande on Klal Yisroel..So outdated or offensive
The Jewish observer only had black and white pictures of woman. Ahem, maybe perhaps the Jewish observer ONLY had b&w pictures
ReplyDelete& rather unclear too.The way it was acceptable. & Ch"v to ever have had the ads like magazines have of nearly teens.Teens will be as soon as the public gets acclimated enough for the magazines' to take their liberal MO victory lap
ReplyDeleteThe Jewish Observer and Der Yid had the same pictures of men as they had of women. They didn't have some kind of new age religion need to differentiate.
ReplyDeleteAnd the articles then were the same as today. There are no more norms, all rules have been removed. Nobody thought any different about the world about us. Yet they printed the pictures.
Abissel common sense never hurt. A normal head shot of an article's author is good for business. But only J Rosenblum can get that. Miriam Samsonowitz must be happy with a mention of her name (lucky that's still muttar. Give it a few years.)
When a tzadekes passes away, no pictures are allowed. No newspaper published Rebbetzin Kaniyevsky's picture, even though it is obvious that part of the benefits of the articles are the pictures. When Reb Chaim was niftar it was self-understood that pictures were necessary.
P.It's all been the other way.Always.Yet you push on.Name a single religious rule which the magazines have gotten more strict about.Name any.
DeletePhony waving the bloody shirt.
As R Matisyahu z"l put it re: how come a bas mitzvah is a more shtill event than a bar mitzvah.
Because that's how it's supposed to be!She is now moving into a life without needing to make a public scene! That goes for any rebbetzin just like anybody else
I will not lower myself to argue with those that believe:
ReplyDeleteStop stupid rules of tznius. Modesty is a shande on Klal Yisroel..So outdated or offensive
If you don't want to accept the basis premise of yiddishkeit, just accept that you are OTD.
Umm,was a satirical strawman, uh strawwoman. Glad we agree on substance
Delete"perhaps a better way to describe it is that many of us feel alienated and disenfranchised from our communities’...estimate that the five largest frum periodicals between them have less than 300 employees - and only a few of those have a real voice in setting policy.
ReplyDeleteSimilarly, the most popular English-language frum news websites might attract a total of 25 million page views each month, but only a handful of people get to decide what’s displayed on those pages..the system breeds alienation."
