What's with chs hearing ppl were thrown off cuz not enough work hours after undergraduate eligibility
ReplyDeleteThe politicians and all those running for governor must be told that the Lakewood power brokers who meet them do not represent the voting bloc and if they want our vote they must speak directly to the Lakewood public and not with Avi Schnall meir Lichtenstein Ray Coles or any vaad member
ReplyDeleteEnough of the self appointed getting deals and money from politicians for their own stuff and not benefitting everyone in Lakewood
They use the Lakewood vote and then take for pet projects, somehow it's the same organization and people receiving the grants and money while everyone's taxes keeps going up.
Reach out to all candidates that we won't blindly vote for them without knowing what they will deliver to All of Lakewood and extended Jewish community
Clearly you DO blindly vote for them. So there's no point in reaching out to anyone.
DeleteAskanim keep fooling everyone that we need to register ro vote to show high numbers for Trenton yet over the years all they do us meet politicians and make deals with them for themselves
DeleteYears ago supposedly a big askan needed a favor for a development somewhere else in NJ and they pushed the olam to vote for a candidate that will help out with it.
The olam has to get smart and stop trusting people who tell you who to vote for. We must reach out directly to the candidates and demand answers no more behind the scenes deals with special interests while abusing our voting power and we get zero
How?
DeleteEmail the candidates and tell them if they want the Lakewood vote they need to come down and hold a public townhall meeting
DeleteNo more photo ops at BMG Hatzolah Bikur cholim schi etc.. followed by a private meeting with all the VIP's
We had enough of getting our votes taken advantage for and abuse of the voting bloc, the game is up.
We need a grass routes effort holding politicians and askanim accountable to work for All of us and not a select few who rush to meet with the politicians to get favors for themselves.

ReplyDeleteSchnall was elected to get tuition relief
ReplyDeleteWhy is he busy running around to health care events
Oh is he busy getting the assembly to keep the nursing home rates up
Why is he not working full time on tuition
The answer is there's no way the democrats will pass such a bill on tuition but it was a good way to campaign and get the olam to vote for him and than he can help the health care chevra
I know you all live in Lakewood, but I think you need to reflect on how the only thing that excites you is local politics
ReplyDeleteI'm really excited about finding Kogan's killers.
UAE is quick to use the death penalty.
I hope they're killed, and will spark a discussion in Israel about how toe expedite death sentences for the jails overstuffed with Nakba terrorists and others.
I see this going a really long way in giving security here. Currently, a shooter looks forward to being released in the next deal while his family is financially set for life with outrageously huge monthly stipends. He'll think when twice when his friend was hanged.
What happens to the hostages-we need the strength and das Torah to ignore them
Being overly concerned with hostages is what got us into this mess and perpetuates it. The Mishna Gittin clearly states one cannot bargain for hostages or do rescue missions lest the captors tighten security or murder the hostages- and we're living the failures of that right now (Sinwar's release, the botched rescue missions)
Anyone understand how Israeli Rabbanim gave a green light to ignore the Mishna? Something about how soldiers won't fight if they know we won't do everything for their release. That's strange to me, they know they can get killed along with 400 in Gaza and they seem to fight bravely?
Local politics is the only thing we can in theory at least do anything about. There is absolutely zero we can do to make policy for Israel.
DeleteBut your points are quite well reasoned.
If you have a problem with the Rabanim, why don't you ask them directly, instead of asking anonymous hefkervelt readers. No one here gave the green light.
