ReplyDeleteA vote for schnall is a vote for Agudas liberal agenda
ReplyDeleteIt is not a vote to help Lakewood shtadlanus
There was no excuse for schnall to show up at the DNC what was the point?
The olam in lakewood was fooled and mislead into thinking that we are being helped instead out voting power was used by agudah to court democrats by showing them we are up for sale
"A vote for schnall is a vote for Agudas liberal agenda"
DeleteWhat liberal agenda?
Sorry everyone, but facts are that approximately 90% of orthodox Jews live in Democratic or Democratic leaning states, and we need Democratic politicians to listen to us. You don't have to agree with everything Schnall does or says, but to burn bridges with the democratic party is a bad, and dangerous mistake.
Everyone knows that swing voters are the most listened to voters (after the donors- of course), he was trying to portray us as that.
There you go again Mr paid Agudah troll
DeleteNo, Avi was portraying us as former Trump voters who are now voting Democrat because he was elected in a campaign of deception as a dem. Aguda had no problem burning bridges with Trump and Ocean county Republicans.
Secondly lakewood has been voting for Democrat Lichtenstein before schnall and also voted for Republicans by his election.
Thirdly our believes have nothing to do with who is in power,we are not a nation that sells out to the highest bidder.
Schnal mispresented the Lakewood community at the DNC there was no reason for that. He embarrassed us on a national stage and made a chilul Hashem that we can be bought off.
You totally missed the boat. (This is my first comment on this topic).
DeleteSchnall was saying that we vote our interests, not the party. We may have liked Trump, but that didn't stop us voting democratic when it suited us. So, as long as Trump stays as he was, we will vote for him. But our loyalty is to no party, and when the democrats represent us, we will vote for them.
If they internalize that message, the politicians on both sides of the aisle will reckon with our concerns. If we persist in sending the message that there is no republican proposal that we won't agree with and there is no democratic proposal that we will agree with, we will lose any political clout we have.
You may disagree with that mahalach. But it has nothing to do with the liberal agenda, and nothing to do with turning our backs on Trump when he helps us.
Wow you are either clueless or trying to mitigate the damage that schnall did. Lakewood jews are loyal to the values of the Torah and vote republican hence the trumpiest town. Schnall was installed as a Democrat and the town was forced to vote for him in a campaign of bullying threats and letters that rabbonim were forced to write all because of a false promise of tuition relief which turned out to be a scam. No one who voted for him believed in him or the Democrat party they did so out of fealty to daas Torah which the balai batim always play that card when they have to convince everyone to vote against their will.
DeleteThe agudah has always been trying to push the frum community to vote Democrat it bothered them to no end that frum Jews in Lakewood and all over voted for Trump, to the point that Rabbi chaim Dovid Zweibel publicly attacked and disparaged Donald Trump at the national agudah convention, when he was the best ohev yisroel president for jews in the US and Eretz Yisroel.
Avi Shnals point was an attempt to use his election as a turning point that the Orthodox community does not care about Torah values but will sell out and be bought off.
The Democrat party of today is pushing an agenda of the dor hamabul and the Orthodox community are not part of that.
The Roshei yeshiva said that shnall is a one time shot and he will not be allowed to vote on any Democrat legislation he was put in only for tuition and he failed on that promise..
It was a massive chutzpah for him to go to the DNC and present himself as a Democrat, that was not why he was voted in. He used and abused the Lakewood bloc vote by going on a national stage and telling the world that lakewood Jewish community are not principled to their values of the Torah and can be bought off because they elected Avi Schnall.
Lakewood did not vote for schnall to go speak at the DNC and lie to them that we turned on Trump. Schnal was sent to Trenton ro widen the 9 and get tuition releif , instead he used his power to embarras lakewood and push agudas agenda to have all frum Jews vote Democrat.
Shame on him, shame on his handlers for taking advantage of us.
Deny it how they will,if you group with the Democrats then those are your values.No use claiming in your house you are different. That is how the whole country perceive s it -& boy they are right.
DeleteOnly a dummy can be convinced anything else.
Chillul HaShem is even for pshat Nefesh.
It's besides also horrible chinuch
cf.liberal modern orthdox (neither modern nor orthodox much longer).They made all the same claims you blokes are.& then some!
Anon 5:49 - you persist in misunderstanding. You may have a point, but you are not arguing it, because you refuse to appreciate what Mr. Schnall said.
DeleteThere is no mitzvah to be a republican. The Republican party is also non-Torah, and anyone who tries to bully people to follow them and identify them is the same warpedness of values. Mr. Schnall made the point that we have never identified with any party, even if he is currently voted in as a member of the democratic party.
You can wax poetic about how terrible the democrats are, that has nothing to do with Mr. Schnall's position. He clearly announced that he has nothing to do with either party.
End of the day it's all about the Binyomins. Democrats are offering welfare. The Republicans are more closely aligned with to the frum world about almost everything else. In a place where the Democrats or Republicans are going to win anyway, of course, you need to work with whoever will win. Of course frum candidates in places like NYC run as Democrats in order to have a chance of winning. Schnall is unique in that he ran as a Democrat unseating a Republican incumbent who was assumed to win. That isn't aligning with whoever will win. That is burning bridges with one side.
DeleteSchnall didn't unseat anyone he was placed by askanim who need personal favors from Trenton for their industry they fooled everyone with free tuition to draw the sheep to the polls..
DeleteThose who were complicit in that election will have to answer after 120 for the gneivas daas of a entire tzibbur
7:21 try that again
DeleteMaybe if you just happen to hold your nose while caucusing with that party.When you go,prance, & laud them at their Convention like AS & buddies, everything about your already weak arguments are out of the window
The first NJ congressman to die this year was not Sheila Jackson - she was from Texas. The first was Donald Payne Jr.

ReplyDeleteHow many Shabak provocateurs wearing costumes were involved? If you think the answer is probably zero, you're part of the problem.
I think the answer is 0. Please explain what this international problem is that with just my thoughts alone i can contribute to it. Thanks
DeleteIf you don't pay the fee, you're not eligible for aid in lieu of. This is a scam to fatten their pockets.
ReplyDeleteLSTA is making $80 regardless off every kid in Jackson times that by 3000 they are pocketing 250k to process paper applications this should call for an audit
ReplyDeleteHuh? They're charging $80 for a service they're doing for you. No different than every seminary charging $150 application fee.
DeleteNo one asked them to do this service, they were given it by the state to consolidate the process and save us money. They should not be charging. When the township did it there was no charge. Bidding the routes is their core function. And the fact that if you opt out means you don't get aid in lieu of is what consolidates their stronghold on the scam.
