we must follow Daas Torah and the moetzes Reb Feldman and avoid this Zionist plague, these Zionists use different methods to entrap us frum in their ways.
ReplyDeleteVery big story FAA is pushing becuase he hates Avi Schnall (nobody really knows why yet).
DeleteAvi didn't vote for the Toeiva bill, despite every other Democrat voting for it - which tells you it's important to the party.
So it passed 50-28.
FAA is upset it didn't pass 50-30 instead.
It's a chilul Hashem when the republican goyim voted no on this shmutz bill and the Orthodox Jewish representative from Lakewood of all places could not vote NO but abstained. That is why we don't send frum representatives to Trenton. They chose politics and kissing up to Phil Murphy over rhe spiritual danger to our children and standing up proudly for the Torah.
DeleteWho decided whether not voting or voting no is more/less of a Chilul HasHem? You probably don't even know where to find the Simanim in Shulchan Aruch. Fact is he didn't vote for anything objectionable.
DeleteWhen Trump says he is for gay rights, and you voted for him, was that a Chilul Hashem?
If you're really worried about your children's spirituality you wouldn't let them go to the library in the first place
DeleteFact is he didn't vote against it. He stood by and did not speak up he showed the goyim that Orthodox Jews have no backbone to defend the Torah. He embarrassed Lakewood
DeleteThe governing body of Lakewood has become that of Sdom
ReplyDeleteIgnoring the residents and not allowing charity food and clothing
The rabbinical leadership is responsible for allowing this to go on including the theft of public tax money as politicians line their pockets and divert grants to special interests instead of helping the public. What a shame for a ihr Hatorah to allow such corruption and gezel as the powerful enrich themselves off the backs of the poor.
As long as we keep blaming the influx of "Brooklyners" for all the problems, instead of focusing on the real problems, this will continue. The time may come when the "Brooklyners" will unite and start opposing the status quo. For now they are keeping them at bay by throwing them a few bones.
DeleteHatzola tried keeping the newcomers out of their ranks too, and now they are in their ranks as CEO, captains, and QA, and the membership has doubled in the last 2 years.
You can't fight them forever, they will eventually figure it out.
if your point is that the chasidim will eventually take over, price us all out, and exile us all, like they did in williansburg, boro park, monsey, etc., we all know that already.
DeleteIt is the chasidim that kept prices stable in Williamsburg, Monroe, Linden and other areas they control.
DeleteWhat exactly does Rabbi Feldman propose? Just let reform and conservative control the money and cause problems for us? There were gedolim who said to join and it was a practical idea.
ReplyDeleteAn idea being practical is not a reason to do something if it is against halacha. He doesn't have to propose alternatives, if its assur its assur.
DeleteIt was never about the money! All of a sudden now that there's money the justification begins.
DeleteWell for the last few years the Orthodox slate were in control of whatever eretz hakdosha gave them control of. Can anyone name any benefit besides having those connected line their pockets.?? It's the same story again and again when it comes election time they talk about the ribono shel olam, and in the interim years they line their pockets. And then the cycle begins again....
DeleteRabbi Feldman proposes to follow Jewish law.
DeleteQuestion might be if there's a point in voicing it where it's not heeded, seems he's pro tha affirmative or he believes it will be heeded .
11:03am
DeleteThey stopped major progressive initiatives. Of course since you couldn't care re:the ruchnius of klal Yisrael
did ANYONE see their tuition go down from the supposed Orthodox slate having control over $ from the Zionists? Exactly so who cares if Rabbi Jennifer is in charge, I just dont want the Zionists to stop me from learning the ketzos.
ReplyDeleteyou leanr Ketzos? better be careful, that might offend the chasidim who we can;t fight forever...
Delete11:44,
DeleteWhat religion you part of?
The Creator mourns the continued Desecration waiting for us,but you are stuck in self-centered
The reason so many people in Lakewood don't have internet has nothing to do with poverty.
ReplyDeleteIt isnt about lowering your tuition as the money goes to Israel. The congress was funding reform and conservative were causing problems for status quo of orthodox in Isreal. There were gedolim who said to join. Yes there are others like Rabbi Feldman who stay out. but what is the answer to controling the zionins congress causing problems for us??
ReplyDeleteNo Jewish gedolim say to join the zionist, or their congress.
ReplyDeleteFunny, but Lakewood's great Talmid Chacham voted in the WZO elections last time.
DeleteIs he not Jewish? He is a Levi.
Didnt you hear? Only kohanim are Jewish
DeleteJewish should be defined as following the Jewish Torah laws, not yichus.
DeleteLiberty high school in Jackson was built to stop the Jews from Lakewood from moving into Jackson now it will be sold to a yeshiva or developer
ReplyDeleteCan you provide some history? Why does it affect us if the school closes?
DeleteTheir loud obnoxious overnight events on leil Shabbos is reason alone from heaven why they should be shut down. Couldn't come soon enough!!
DeleteReb Avraham Gurwirtz asked Reb Chaim about this, and he was told to vote for WZO.
ReplyDeleteReb Avraham gets very upset with anyone who tries to claim that Reb Chaim was misinformed, claiming that this is הרס התורה.
When and what was the question asked?
DeleteWhom was asked the question?
If your child is liable to borrow a romantic book from the library, the addition of LGBTQ materials is the least of your problems.
ReplyDeleteEven if the library was permitted to discriminate against perverts, we should not allow our children free reign in the library.
That's why this law is not really our problem
You are out of your mind. There usually got to be an endless world of difference.Only such a fool try to conflate them.
DeleteI dont know what to say.
DeleteChildren who read romantic books in the library are doing something natural. With enough love from their parents and Rabbeim, they will hopefully grow up and move on.
Children who read LGBTQ books are being exposed to something unnatural and abnormal. They might even convince themselves they're really something different. How do you grow up and move on from this?
Schnall is Murphys shick yingel if he can't bring himself to publicly stand up for frum moral values he has no place in Trenton.
ReplyDeleteHe was placed by nursing home guys who need a contact in the assembly that controls the reimbursement rate for healthcare, they used tuition to fool everyone to the polls
This was one big gneivas daas of an entire tzibbur with approval of roshei yeshiva and gedolim
Mind boggling how this went on
Wasn't everybody who vocally opposed A Schnall defined as Korach V'adaso?
DeleteCbn says schnal consulted Daas Torah and was told that not voting is equivalent to a No vote.he did so out of respect for King Phil and the democrats
ReplyDeleteSame result as, not exactly the same as. But that's what he explained to daas tora, so they agreed.
DeleteThat watsapp group has no credibility at all its been a mouthpiece for schnall from the get go. They also endorsed Lichtenstein and Miller so much for caring about the klal.
DeleteLet's see Schnall put out a statement that he is opposed to this disgusting bill exposing our children to pornohraphy. He had a chance to vote against it and didn't
Now let's see Mr free tuition speak up for the physical and spiritual danger to all Nj children by this despicable Democrats and Phil Murphy bill.
This is why people voted for Ned Thompson and this coming year more people in Lakewood will realize they were scammed and fooled
DeleteHaha you are quoting from a watsapp guy who knows how to fwd posts from Twitter and LinkedIn and now he's also daas Torah, sad
DeleteSchnal made the same mistake as a Yechiel kalisch did by voting present on abortion bill
ReplyDeleteKalisch told mishpacha it was a mistake
Mishpacha Article
In retrospect, Rabbi Kalish admitted that in his zeal to help the community and retain this “Jewish” seat in the state house, he made a promise without calculating all of the potential consequences.
“For sure. The foolish mistake I made was thinking nothing could come up that I couldn’t find an answer for or explain,” Rabbi Kalish said. “That’s often how balabatim like me, lacking daas Torah, think. ‘We’ll do great things for the community and everything will be okay.’ ”
Had he consulted with real DT like R'Levin,R'Homnik,or R'N Leiter
DeleteAnd then when you go to the rabinical backers and asked them why he Abstained they will tell you that he didn't ask them. So then the question arises why do they promote somebody who will do whatever he wants His entire term and then support him when it's election time. His financial backers would never do that for example they want to see results and if he doesn't line their pockets they will hadn't voted out.Timid. shortsighted. Careless. Leadership. Sad.
ReplyDeleteCurious to know how someone moves here from Brooklyn and a short couple years later, he decides that he’s going to make changes, as if the Twp or anybody else owes him anything. Sell appointed “activist”, has the nerve as a newcomer to stand up at meetings and voice his strong criticism to people that are in office before he ever dreamt of moving to Lakewood.
ReplyDelete11:44 am,
ReplyDeleteFor you it is probably a waste. May be all basically sam ha'maves.
The CC put it to somebody similarto you:Fehh oif du un Fehh oif deiyne tosfos
There is a cheshbon that voting for censorship could come back to bite us CV. We need freedom of expression to survive here in the US.
ReplyDeleteSo grant space to every anti-semite too
