- The Western Wall Heritage Foundation:
The "Women of the Wall" group brought in a sefer Torah in violation of regulations and violently attacked the Foundation's employees.
The Foundation views any attempt to harm the sanctity of the place and the honor of the Sefer Torah with great severity and will continue to preserve the tradition of the site.

The whole town is being turned upside down with traffic closures to accommodate a private investor that will only cause more traffic for the town. Why is everybody quiet? Why no words from the Township officials? Your guess is as good as mine.
ReplyDeleteToo bad the latest Lakewood get rich quick off Uncle Sam gravy train of childcare help is coming to an abrupt end. Lol
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with getting rich while providing a legitimate service which the government was willing to pay for? Why are you laughing that those same people are now losing money? Why are you laughing that the teachers won't have good jobs anymore?
DeleteAnd why are you laughing out loud? At least laugh in private.
Yes people made a fortune of money on it!!1
DeleteHowever they gave tzedaka
The bnei torah that benefited form it had more pocket money and it made their life easier now they will be hurting more then anyone else.
Shame on you @10:46. Making money is not a crime if it is done legally. I can't stand the sour grapes directed at wealthy people. Jealousy maybe? I am far from wealthy and I have often posted negative posts about people who make money off the backs of the rest of the Lakewood citizens. But that is not the case here so how can you be happy when Yidden are losing money?!
DeleteThe Bnei Torah are protesting and crying - How can it possibly be, that a Jew be persecuted and/or arrested in our Jewish homeland for the sin of studying Torah?
ReplyDeleteThe Woman of the wall are protesting and crying - How can it possibly be, that a Jew be persecuted and/or arrested in our Jewish homeland for the sin of carrying a Sefer Torah?
So chevrah, whats the difference?
Good points. And since the Women of the Wall were let out of jail, are allowed to leave the country, and haven't lost their subsidies, the Bnei Yeshiva should also be let out of jail, be allowed to leave the country, and shouldn't lose their subsidies.
DeleteMissionaries are also protesting & crying- how could a shmadzich convert be persecuted &/or arrested in our homeland?
DeleteSo what's the difference?
Where is Eretz Hakodesh???
DeleteThey were supposed to put a stop to the Reform women at the wall
This is what 85% of comments here look like:
ReplyDelete1. Mayor doesn't know what he's doing, bla bla bla
2. Bais Havaad any newly minted dayan can disagree with Rabbi Miller, bla bla bla
3. Aguda bad very bad not yeshivish , bla bla bla
4. Where are the committeemen hiding, that's why we lost childcare, bla bla bla
And you have zero answers because you are milking the taxpayers with corruption so instead you mock them in a sad attempt to poke fun at those speaking out the truth who are paying your bills while thousands suffer everyday and can't afford daily living.
Delete#Achzariyus
And therefore?? Have you any other important issues with people are ignoring?? The blah blah is your mind trying to comprehend, sort of like static it's not what the people are actually saying.....
DeleteWhat happened to the Westgate shul?

Avi Schnall's response to the CHS crisis? Crickets. But his nursing home friends made sure their reimbursements went up. I hope you're all enjoying your promised free tuition. R' Elya should be held accountable for helping to facilitate the charade. His phone call to Avi after his win is as cringe as Kamala and Biden's victory call.
ReplyDeleteHe's too busy waiting for the big photo op taking credit when the light signal at Braodway by Evergreen turns on. It was in the plans way before he got elected and many ppl worked on it but he calls it my light
DeleteNothing like a huge oversized spiked top Shtriemal, craseldik payos, and a trim beard!!!
ReplyDeleteNothing like a yeshivermann with the right haskafos but doesn't learn
ReplyDeleteDid you see the letter from Rav Eliyahu shlita blasting the kol koresh against Bais HaVaad. Go get em
ReplyDeleteWhere can one see Rx Elya's letter?
ReplyDeleteFixing Lakewood has it
DeletePardon my ignorance. In what way are the traffic disruptions associated with enriching someone?
ReplyDeleteAll the work being done by NJAW and NJNG which is closing down roads nightly all over town is said to be being done to provide water and gas for the new development on cross st which couldnt be approved without it.
DeleteManiac? Every society has plenty of them..The danger is that few societies besides the US allow them to inflict many casualties on any given day r"l.
ReplyDeletep.s.That is without the gun apologists turning every community into a default unhealthy ready-to-draw Western town
So is there a solution?Yes.
