- Media outlets in Israel reported over the weekend that Israel asked the US to postpone the targeted strike in Iran in order to prepare for a broader attack later.

Georgian Court university looking for residential space for their students -- meaning further price hikes for Lakewood area housing.
ReplyDeleteillegal marriages -- compared to non (O Jews and ) non Jews just living together without benefit of marriage.
public schools failures -- you mean students in minority districts don't have good grades? same in all Abbot districts, which is what the state should investigate. of course, they won't. maybe we should demand our Assemblyman should launch an investigation of this, with results within thirty days. Otherwise, they'll just announce an investigation and sit on it for ten years (how many years has Reb Aron L been fighting?)
(Though Lakewood yeshivot refuse to test their students, whom they don't really educate either.)
If President Trump wants to attack Iran to implement regime change, Israel better be ready to immediately evacuate the Jewish population of Iran. The first victims of such an attack will be the Jews, especially since President Trump will do it without US "boots on the ground"

DeleteIt’s all makes sense now. All the experts said they’ll never take over the district but Lakewood is different simply because every member of the organization and BOE put themselves or their backers above the general welfare. Now is the time to get the right people who can build the infrastructure and turn the $400 million corporation into an engine of growth, opportunity and efficiency.
DeleteThe real tragedy here isn’t the guy from Monroe it’s the WhatsApp and social media clowns propping him up. People with zero seichel and massive platforms are validating his nonsense and using it as an excuse to bash Klal Yisroel for taking programs.
ReplyDeleteWe’re not being attacked from the outside we’re sabotaging ourselves by handing microphones to idiots and letting stupidity go viral.
What’s especially absurd is the pot calling the kettle black: everyone thinks only they deserve a platform to speak from, but the moment someone disagrees, suddenly no one else is allowed a bima
DeleteTalk about hypocrisy and delusion. Acting as if rhey have the moral right to stand on a bima while hiding behind anonymous “daas Torah,” all while tearing people down and damaging their livelihoods.
