Why doesn't any school in Lakewood have a mesivta?
ReplyDeleteWhy do most mesivtas everywhere not have elementary schools? Yeshivas that go from kindergarten through kollel is pretty much unique to Brooklyn. And even there not every Yeshiva works that way.
DeleteThe expense of a mesivta is more than the income. The only ones opening a mesivta are those seeking a shteller. The elementary is a business while mesivta is for kavod.
DeleteSome mesivtas are owned by the same who own chadorim? Why should a cheder have a mesivta? Do any girl schools have high schools? It's a separate expertise and great that it is kept seperate
Deleteyes, some girls schools have high schools
DeleteWhy don't any schools in Lakewood have a fleet of sail boats?
DeleteSome people feel OOT's have the same right to the Lakewood wedding halls as people living locally. Guess what, when the wedding halls destroy the quality of living in this town causing all kinds of traffic, I feel like local users should at least have some kind of "right" to these halls being that they are giving up on their quality of life on a daily basis.
ReplyDeleteWill Route 9 by Oak turn into a traffic Nightmare? You're going to have chupas and an end of seder all converging the same time!
Why shouldn't OOT's have the right to use Lakewood wedding halls? Did a local Lakewood tzedoka pay for them? No one in Lakewood had any problems with getting someone who lives in Brooklyn building cheaper chasuna halls in Lakewood. Before Bais Faiga was built no one complained about people from Lakewood taking the cheaper Brooklyn wedding halls
Deletebefore bais faiga was built? how old are you?
DeleteI'm old enough to know how the world works better than the young people with no life experience

ReplyDeleteThe Lakewood BOE is making a mistake by trying to intervene in my case. My case has nothing to do with how good a job Michael Inzelbuch, Laura Winters, the BOE, or the district organization are doing. That is what the state wants the Court to think.
ReplyDeleteIt's the duty of the state under the NJ Constitution to ensure T & E and the Court found a violation of T & E. The state has to answer for that, not the Lakewood BOE. The state's argument of mismanagement, even if true, misses the point. The intervention of the BOE to dispute the mismanagement argument is a distraction that shifts focus away from the heart of the matter, that the school funding formula has no rational relationship to the district's actual expenses that are mandated by law.
It's not about mismanagement. It is about the founding formula.
We have this covered. It's too little, too late.

PS WE don't anticipate even getting to court for oral argument until mid-Spring. I have been warning of the impending collapse. Not my problem. The Court will order the formula fixed, but anything can happen until then. There is no reason for the BOE, all of a sudden, to wake up at the eleventh hour, after we have solidified our position, that the case is not about them, but the kids, to enter the case.
Any connection with RUOC and the liason
ReplyDeleteThe question is why fonyvall the mesivtas have a continuing Bais Medrish? That was the model of all Lakewood Mesivtas such as Philly, Scranton,Denver
