The IDF will conduct a "learning process" at the end of each wave in order to improve the process for the next wave, the statement read.

ReplyDeleteI think lakewood needs thirty rebbes that will make events every Leiel Shishi with kosher entantainment as it seems all people want today is entertainment. Maybe Adeirei should do the LEil Shishi events for the Bal Habatim and some freezer Buchorim will play Guitars for them.
Lakewood is doing very well in the entertainment area. First there was a Dirshu EVENT, then the Adirei EVENT and the See the Gedolim EVENT. Party On!
Delete-Grand opening tonight in Howell "Machne Yuda" Unwind & Rewind a kosher Hooka spot with food. tonight Leil shishi Kumzitz located at 2885 Rt 9 North, Howell,NJ.
ReplyDeleteYou gotto love KOSHER hooka.
I don't want to take it any further other then saying its extremely unsafe ( everyone using the same pipe) and its a moisav laitzim par exhalant.
Lakewood should be majorly embarrassed with such a place within its borders.
It's too late the train has long left the station and the horse has left the barn
DeleteThe men are no longer happy with just spiritual things. A culture of guns has become normal,
The LBA nightly games with hot dogs, nightly parties with weed and cigar rolling, tzedaka events with high end gashmiyus food and cigar rolling with hookas. Once this has been introduced what do you expect should happen?
There's more coming Sports bars with large screens, shvitz and more this is the reality.
Billboards magazines that promote gashmiyus all day polluting the minds of our children and adults too. The נבל ברשות התורה sadly us accepted in Lakewood and surrounding kehilos
3000/24000 sounds crazy. Obviously there is no room for chareidim in the army. This is all politics, caused by our very own leaders.
ReplyDeleteWill 100 Rabbanim sign against this Hooka joint, or only against organizations trying to save lives? And then we wonder why terrible things are happening in this community.
ReplyDeleteUNREAL! In the same daily Post about hookahs we have a notice about a meeting for EY We seem to be obsessed with what is going on in EY 6,000 mi away from here with the rabbis gathering to worry about what is going on there..... when was the last time we had a conference of rabbis to discuss what is going on here in our town, responsibilities which they have, issues which pertain to their jobs. Let's just remember at least traditionally rabbis were not hired to get the shlishi, they were hired to take care of each and every individual each and every problem in their community. We need to refocus and quickly.
ReplyDeleteThe type of people who would give to Keren Olam HaTorah as the result of a Rabbonim meeting in Lakewood are generally not the ones going to l'havdil those type of places of entertainment. The types who would, do not care about what an asifa of Rabbonim said about it. Most Rabbonim aren’t interested in sordid internet fights with that crowd. What else do you want them to do?
DeleteSo I guess the right way to deal with it is to just write them off Don't let their children into any schools whatsoever and let them go off the derech, assimilate that is what the chofetz Chaim would probably recommend ????
DeleteI guess the best idea is to treat these hookah people like teeth if you ignore them they'll go away.....
DeleteA better comparison is to an infected rash. The more you scratch and pay attention to it the worse of a problem you will have
DeleteWhy is Keren olam Hatorah collecting more money if they raised 107 million from the gevirim
ReplyDeleteAnd why do the chasiddim need money if they are showing up to lishkas hagiyus and cooperating with the IDF
And now they're planning a trip to the UK to raise money?? What's that all about The 107 million was for the entire year they're more or less covered,? PR Trip??
DeleteThey are not giving chasidim the are not giving peleg, The number 107 was for everyone so they obviously need a lot lot less. (The chasidim ger viznits peleg Make up about half)
DeleteWhy are they not giving money to any peleg yeshivos,
DeleteIs the olam in Lakewood aware of this???
This is to replace govmnt money. These peleg institutions claimed they were never taking money anyway.
DeleteThe 107 million is close to exactly the amount the government used to give to yeshivos. It is to raise that money and nothing else ie peleg yeshivos etc. It was never claimed to be anything else. The reason they are still collecting is Because they have not yet raised the full amount. Please disregard all those who are sonie rabonim and trying to make Believe something nefarious is happening.
DeleteI'll disregard when you explain to me where the 15 million dollars collected for Ukraine went............
DeleteIr Hatorah vHagashmiyus
ReplyDeleteI think the Kollelim should play recorded messages regarding leaving kids in the car!
ReplyDeleteThe Rabbanim of Europe - including the litvishe, used to vacation in the "Bath houses", so building a nearby shvitz is not a new concept. But of course, today's mevinim know better what is and isn't acceptable.
ReplyDeleteThose were considered healthy.
DeleteAnd those drinks they are drinking in the pictures? They tasted extremely foul. They were considered elixirs of life, so they drank them. They were not gashmiyus parties by any means.
"Bath Houses":where they hobnobbed with the Prince of Wales, Queen Victoria's son.
DeleteSharing Hookas and real estate tips.
What a shame on our askanim as the lakewood community is getting disparaged and vilified all over the world as the media picked up the mug shot and story of a case where a kid was tragically left in a car. There were 10 such cases in America this year but you won't see any photo of those parents yet the local authorities here posted it and the international media is focusing and pinpointing the community
ReplyDeleteDo the asskanim yield any power?
The chaplains?
The assemblyman?
The mayor?
The politicians?
This is a disaster
The truth is the Ocean County Prosecutors Office has been very vengeful against the lakewood Askunim for their blatant disrespect lately against their office & dealings
DeletePeople can complain and whine, but there is nothing directly to be done about this Hookah problem.
ReplyDeleteWe can invest, as Rabbanim, in helping baalebatim rise above this kind of lifestyle. By helping them find a geshmak in Yiddishkeit and learning. But that requires an investment of effort that some have not yet done. Leaving them to ersatz geshmak in Yiddishkeit that hasn't awakened all of their senses, pushes them to Hookah lounges, rebshayeberebmoishe, concerts, and more and more food.
Every neshama at these gashmiyus-fests is someone whom the system has failed. The chinuch hasn't reached his neshama.
By having musical Hallel.
DeleteIt is quite surprising how people get bothered by the symptoms but not by the cause. Walk in to any shul in Lakewood how many shiurim, programs do they have at night Sundays shabbos afternoons nearly nothing, Go back a generation ago things were much different. which means that any person which is out of the framework of the yeshiva does not have a place or opportunity to learn of course you can do it on his own and there are some programs out there but not nearly as much as necessary. No one seems to be bothered till we see the fruits of this disaster
DeleteWhen will we admit that learning ie; not working for years and years is not working for many? And when will we teach that if you don't go that route it's ok too? And then we can start accepting that your are still part of the klal if you go to work. And then those Yungerleit won't think of themselves as failures and resort to other entertainment sources. They'll consider themselves bnai melachim who es past nisht to partake in those activities.
DeleteSorry 5:31, but that is just not true any more. Nobody is 'second-class' for going to work in Lakewood, because most everyone goes to work before 30 nowadays. If anything, long-term learning is looked down upon nowadays, with the message being, "get a shtelle, a job, or go to work."
DeleteTell that to the chadarim that won't take kids from not learning families.
DeleteWhen you find me that Cheder, get back to me.
DeleteSo far, they don't exist. All chadarim have children from working families, including the misnamed 'Cheder Bnei Torah'.
No such thing. If a family leads a true Torah lifestyle with the father happening to need parnosah,he will get his kids into any school. It's when tye lifestyle starts changing as they go out to work, then the schools have an issue.
Deletethe israeli who visited bmg has a very weird agenda. also, he writes a lot of things that aren't true. he writes that there are 100,000 talmidim in bmg and that bmg's annual budget is $70 million (both not true). and he writes that for the price of a small apartment in israel one can buy a large house in lakewood, which of course is not true. his agenda seems to be to bash israeli charedi society and say that lakewood - where the charedim work and have lots of money - is much better, so every israeli should move to lakewood.
ReplyDeleteThe lesson from that article is that it is almost impossible for a person to accurately write about a foreign country and culture. They don't have the ability to uncover the details that make our town tick.
DeleteWe should learn a lesson from this. When we read articles about other towns, we should remember that we also don't have the ability to understand them. When people in Lakewood get excited about Israeli issues, remember that you don't really have the entire story.
A small apartment in yerushalim is over a million
ReplyDeleteRoshey Yeshiva go to Mordy Shtieble where they play music by Hallel, propagate Breslov bs , drinking, etc etc, and we wonder how a kosher huka place opens up!?
ReplyDeleteThose who took money from the Tzionim are now getting rewarded for doing so, and they want you & me to cover it!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with taking money from Tziyonim?
DeleteAll Gedolim permitted it, from Belzer Rav, Tchebiner Rav, Rav Abramsky, Reb Leizer Yudel, all the way to Rav Shach and Rav Shteniman.
Those who took money from the Tzionim are now getting rewarded for doing so, and they want you & me to cover it!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou have the option of having the zchus to support Torah, or not. The choice is yours. No one is forcing you.
DeleteThe West Gate Shul complainers are now the complainers about the Gedolim rasing funds for Yeshivos.
DeleteSame complainers; every day a new complaint.
Why can't you face the reality that Charity starts at home. We are suffering here in Lakewood that we don't even have agendas forget about unfulfilled agendas. The undercurrent is everything is fine we're all taken care of but there is a small problem overseas which of course we should focus on. Not the lack of paying kollelim divorce crisis chinuch crisis etc etc. reality is there's enough money to go around for everything but the lack of focus is sad
