The board approved the BMG application to build a new dormitory off Lakewood Avenue bet 7th & 8th with a additional parking lot.

The board voted to approve.
- The Cheshek shlomo kollel application was adjourned to March 26 after a lawyer opposing the application brought up the accreditation issue to the board claiming the applicant can not use the educational campus loophole without having been accredited yet.

There was a plan to split the daycare application as its own without the need for an education campus but that was pushed off.

Why do we the chosen nation need to celebrate stupidity like superbowl ? This sounds like straight out חוקות הגוים , which once we seek that its a no brainer to התבוללות! What happened to the Jewish Pride?
ReplyDeleteWe have such a rich historical culture! Why does anyone need the trivial babyish enjoyments of their stupid fun etc..
What would you like? Another asifa in some stadium? Studies have shown following sports is good for your mental health - not such a bad idea for many people around here
DeleteI’m under a rock I feel like lol. Where are these companies even advertising
Deleteone of the teams in the super bowl in the 49ers. the number 49 is, of course, a remez to the 49 days we count in preparation of receiving the torah. this symbolizes that we should be using this time to purify ourself in preparation of receiving the torah anew.
Delete49 is also gematriah of "hadam" (the blood). this is a remez to the blood of the korban pesach, and a reminder to start preparing for pesach and, b'ezras hashem, to be able to bring a real korban pesach this year.
the other team is the chiefs. their name is a reminder to us to remember who the real "Chief" is.
DeleteStupid hitbollelut -- There is several hundred millions probably billions being spent on Super Bowl.
Can you imagine how much overpriced kosher food, silly clothing online purchases (I know some yidden in that business), car service fees, that yidden are making money on?
Its a chilul Hashem that some of these restaurants are not only celebrating the emptiness of the tinyBowl, but also are offering discounts in its honor that they dont offer for Jewish holidays. The Avoda Zara is palpable.
ReplyDeleteBMG needs dorms to house all the bochurim stuck in the freezer.
ReplyDeleteWhy would they go for approval on the the daycare without a campus? Didn’t they falsely claim the daycare isn’t going to cause any traffic because the the 400 kids will be coming from the students!
ReplyDeleteany establishment that ADVERTISES the super bowl should lose their hechsher, what people do on their own is their cheshbon
ReplyDeleteGevaldig!
ReplyDeleteThe pchisus of collecting money from the Yungeleit has stopped, and some people even respect Yungeleit enough to want to give them more money. Gevald! Yungeleit might be respected! Oy vey! How can we allow that?
No problem, we will turn the entire thing around and demand that the yungeleit support their Adirei Hatorah. If Chas veshalom any Yungerman thought that he had some chashivus to himself, and that the askan was not the only inhabitant of the Mizrach vant, he will learn his lesson.
Agree to comments.Won't those restaurants make it official already & serve yayin nesech?
ReplyDeleteFunny that nobody seems to realize never mind care for the lack of kviaas itim by today's baalei battim.. And even someone who is looking for a shiur or chabburah has a difficult time finding one. Years ago every shul had shiurim , today almost nothing. But when it comes to the Super Bowl everybody gets upset. What in the world should they do if they are not learning?its just a symptom of the emptiness. And the bnai torah are responsible.(for every yid)
ReplyDeleteAnd of course with KCL hashgocho with the new kcl brand lettuce this is what Lakewood has become to
ReplyDeleteThe kids are inundated with the LBA teams and weekly scores pushed on them by lakewood media and weeklies MIT a haskama from the mechanchim
ReplyDeleteWhy should the adults be any different of they want to have a superbowl party
Until we stop the hypocrisy nothing will change.
Yiddishkeit in Lakewood was sold out there are no red lines
Shame on us for not nipping these breaches in the bud now it us too late to stop the goyishkeit that are stuffed down our children's throats with sports leagues and high end gashmiyus
How come we're at fault?!
DeleteWe tried.Cast the guilt to where it belongs
Kids playing basketball in a league and having a kosher outlet with other yidishe kinder is very different then adults making a moishav leitzim at best if not other worst things betting etc vedai l chakimo veremizo . Although I wander if we could bestow the term chakimo after not being able to discern the difference. Just wondering!!!!
DeleteAnon 518 well said
DeleteThere's a big difference when kids play sports for a kosher outlet as opposed to organized leagues with heavy marketing making sports a culture in Lakewood with official teams and marketing that are taking away their heads from learning.
DeleteNebach with a farshtuupteh kup you can't differentiate
It's very unfortunate!
DeleteAnon at 6:17 yes with my farshtopte kop I can’t differentiate. Let us analyze a kid has to seat and Lear for almost 11 months a year he feels sometimes he is drowning but he has his organized league where he could let out steam . Or the boy thats missing confidence but he is good in the well organized league. They don’t need to look in places where they could be exposed to other influences with the right hashpo from the counselors they channel that in a good way but the chakimo say no that will make him a bum . I hope you are not in Chinuch as we have enough chakimos in the field with your discernible veltachtung . Just wondering!!! Agav why are you so angry I did call you a chochom in a sarcastic way but a chochom nevertheless. Believe me being called a farshtopte kop by you is a groyse kovod
DeleteYour talking points ignore reality and pretend that there is no system in place
DeleteMost schools give recess and have fields for the kids to play a few times a day the yeshivos have gym and than there's camp to bring out all points mentioned but these are not just organized leagues it is something that is a huge distraction from the mature development of a frum boy in cheder or bochur in mesivta. Stop trying to justify something that mechanchim in Lakewood tried shutting down until some pull and protektzia got in the way
It is a churban hador
And would be better of the kids followed the Yankees and Mets knowing that it is goyish than getting caught up in a new culture with the guise of a kosher outlet
So what is better - playing the game and trying to be like the goyim with uniforms coaches etc. or following the game and rooting for your team? I vote for both - as long as the kids aren’t going to be stealing cars and driving them into lakes or worse..
DeleteIn lkwd it all comes down to who you know if you are well connected the approval goes 123 no matter opposition from neighbors
ReplyDeleteIf you're not from the inner circle oh well they again
Such a beautiful place we're told
ReplyDeleteWhy are they taking money from younerleit to pay back money from one pocket to the other this was the same mistake of the tent event
ReplyDeleteThey should ask balei batim to give more but why pressure youngerleit to give back from the check
Because every yungerman gives maaser.
DeleteAdirei hatorah is still fundraising? Are they raising the checks again?
ReplyDeleteNot sure what you mean the kids are inundated with LBA teams. Me and my kids don’t know what it is though we’ve seen pics of a bunch of clowns dressed up on basketball courts.
