-NJ democrats just passed 3 bills to fight back against Trump and ICE Assemblyman Avi Schnal voted yes on two of the bills while information for the 3rd has not been made public yet The New Jersey Legislature passed three immigration-related bills and sent them to Mikie Sherrill for signature. The measures would limit cooperation with ICE, restrict sharing of driver data and immigration status, and require police officers to identify themselves while limiting mask use during arrests.
About 100 people rallied outside the New Jersey State House protesting vote. Rep Paul Kanitra urged Mikie Sherrill to reject three bills that would limit cooperation with ICE and expand protections for undocumented immigrants, calling the measures extreme. Paul Kanitra claimed Democrats support policies benefiting Illegal immigrants that cost New Jersey over $7 billion annually. He also argued they rely on undocumented residents for census counts to maintain legislative and congressional representation, accusing them of ignoring the financial impact on taxpayers.
The Whitehouse previously criticized the legislation citing a case in Lakewood when a mother and daughter were killed by a drunk driver who was illegal and should have been deported for prior DWI arrests.

IMHO A store that requires non sale item purchases to get the sale price should not be included.. Can we get Kosherwest on the list?
ReplyDeletesubmit a link to a flyer and they'll add it.
DeleteCan we also have a list which products are fresh from this year - ever notice there are no dates on the packaging?
ReplyDeleteWhy is adirei not the Sunday before, which is an Isru Chag ?
ReplyDeleteShabbos after shavuos is an off shabbos, so the bochurim can join.
DeleteQuite simple
DeleteThey are not sure the staidum will be filled.
They need bochurim to want to show up too.
And the next week is an off Shabbos usually.
What is the difference between the Aderee Torah "EVENT" and a concert?
ReplyDeleteReal Bnei Torah know better than to attend concerts in stadiums to honor nothing.
ReplyDeleteSadly, some people are hoodwinked into doing things that make no sense, because they don't know the answer to 'hakaras hatov' claims.
Check out Megillah Daf Vav - seems that stadiums can be used to teach and learn Torah.
DeleteI looked in vain for a mention of a concert in Megillah daf vav.
DeleteIt’s becoming embarrassing how much nonsense is being pushed out in nonstop fake, clickbait letters on websites. It’s insulting to the intelligence of the Lakewood community. Why do people keep falling for this garbage, over and over again? These pieces are clearly designed to provoke questioning Yiddishkeit and mesorah under the guise of “discussion,” and often throwing in sensational or inappropriate topics dressed up as concerns about tznius. All it shows is how shallow frum media has become, constantly competing for clicks instead of maintaining standards.
ReplyDeleteYou're making me curious. What are you referring to?
DeleteWho looks at the scpoop
Deletethank you avi schnall we do were strangers no human being is illegal
ReplyDeleteSo you believe that immigration laws should not be followed?
DeleteThat's not the issue.
DeleteAnd someone who cannot see the difference should not have the right to vote.
We need a basic IQ test for the right to vote (and be voted in).
- 5:55
DeleteAnon 5:18 has a good point
Instead of insulting his IQ, why don't you explain the difference between tax law, civil law, tort law that all must be followed as opposed to immigration law that is suspended due to emotional difficulties
Welcome to all illegals
Deleteterrorists;mafia hit-men;regular swindlers.Welcome.
What is the difference between a Adirey Torah event and a concert????
ReplyDeleteThe music is only a small part of the program-no special focus on the singer(no promoting them)-no new songs-its meant to be a simchas torah atmosphere.
DeleteIt's funny to see RY and rosh Chaburos having there picture taken wearing a plastic apron and holding up a matzah towards the light next to the matza bin, and having them write, Rebbe Ploney BAKING MATZOS at the Lakewood matzo bakery! Lol
ReplyDeleteShe takes her secularism seriously.Good for her!
ReplyDelete" woman approached a 10-year-old boy and cut off his peyos "
We never suscribed to 'anything is ok' pluralism;all shades & colors 'just get along'
They must 'Bring it on'.We"ll smash it out! As long as it takes
Firstly the woman in the story was dressed like Chariedi and a resident of Modin Ilit so I highly doubt she is a secular woman. Secondly some elements of the the Chareidi world try very hard to force their way of life on others and on principle harass others who were born as tonokos shnisba. Why shouldn't a Tinok Shnisba who grew up in that atmosphere feel the same way in the oppisite direction?
DeleteSo we fully agree. Excellent.
DeleteDon't know which religion you claim to smokescreen practice, mine however based on the Bible fully propounds collective communal coercion.
Guess it is the only way to bring Redemption. cf. Going out of Egypt!
Truth compels obligation.
Were you to attempt to challenge:Truth will bring people around on their own volition.
Answer: In pure vacuum it will. But it doesn't exist.
We continue to suffer in a world that "A lie will travel halfway round the world, while the truth is still putting in socks on"
Where does your Bible fully propound collective communal coercion without a psak from and then under supervision of Beis Din? Where does it tell random people on the street to run around doing such things? Maareh mokomos please. And I know this will be difficult for you but try to give them without attempting to blur things by trying to give insults.

10:21 etc
DeleteShem & Ever are nowadays the new Jewish role models?
Like I thought I would get vague answers at best . Actually the whole ponderance of Nach is probably the biggest proof against your beliefs about what the Bible says. Even the kings who were the biggest Tzadikim and have explicit pesukim saying they did all that was right and correct in they eyes of Hashem for the most part did not remove all the Bamos and all the Avodah Zora in EY that was going on during their time . The Meforshim explain it was because they were scared that doing so would backfire. Kal V'Chomer some loafer on the street who is no Tzadik and no Melech with any authority over anyone else. Rav Reuven Grozevsky in his kuntress on Rashyim and Mumrim repeatedly says that all things written in Chazal about taking actions against evil doers are only true when there is a clear reasonable chance that such efforts will actually lead to them acting better.
Delete1.There is a world of difference between a newer Poretz Geder viz a viz a previous status quo. 2. & "because they were scared that doing so would backfire."WHICH combined are the only alibi tolerated. Anything less than that excuse would have been excoriated & punished severely
DeleteHow come the avg. good righteous jew was punished during the churbanos?cf.Kovetz maamarim
Acc.to your idoctrination only the elite should have been punished.If even them?
"would get vague answers at best"- "but try to give them without attempting to blur things by trying to give insults". Indeed.
RRG lying down the middle of the soccer field to force them to stop them from playing on Shabbos-WHICH per your agenda accomplished nothing other than getting him arrested
REM Bloch potching a mechallel shabbos in the face -which accomplished nothing (other than necessitating him eventually to flee)
You aren’t being clear enough to respond so I’ll say one thing. There is a world of difference between protesting in a manner that will only get YOU biizyonis and tzaros like the examples you allege and protesting in a manner that just makes into a bully. A Tzadik rodef Rosha but without the Tzadik part...That is what most protesters are today.
DeleteAcc.to your idoctrination only the elite should have been punished.If even them?Based on your sources you are clearly the indoctrinated one. They are limited exclusively to what you see you kanoi propaganda. But I was once indoctrinated just like you. I truly believed what I was told about the "Zionists" and how we are supposed to view with and deal with them. Three things that caused my disillusionment and current strong opposition to that haskafa were (1)seeing the destructive affects it had on the people who drank too much of that propaganda (2)seeing how the supposed "nirdofim" acted at hafganos and other interaction with "Zionists" and (3)learning Sefer Melochim with Chazal and the Rishonim on it . I mention learning Sefer Melochim only because it was criminologically last in my life
Delete3:21
DeleteEnough with projecting your own persistent inadequacies.
a. The topic had nothing to with "Zionists" specifically, & yet nonetheless you desperately needed to fall back on that topic for some simplistic pejorative impact!
b. You are still completely indoctrinated.Proof?
How predictable are you .
The powers that be embedded it part and parcel of the system's horizon: When you're young you are subtly directed to narrowly start on one side of the spectrum -which you surmise was on your own accord. Totally.
Then as you get older they have been subtly maneuvering & manipulating to shift you somewhat to the other-which again you will surmise of your own accord!
Works like a charm. The cemetery is full of people like that
"There never was anything so perilous or so exciting as orthodoxy. It was sanity: and to be sane is more dramatic"
A real independent mind battles it through the ideologies of different stages and sticks consistently throughout to what they inherently sensed from the very beginning.
Ask all the greatest statesman.
Can you tell something you have written that you believe was not predictable? Something that highlights your "independent mind"? I haven't seen you write anything that I haven't heard and seen preached before.
DeleteResearch shows that women are more likely to shift across the spectrum over the course of their life, more than men. Likely based on being more emotional. Not something to be overly proud of.
DeleteA very wise distinguished man adjured me decades ago to make sure to learn Yeshaya,Yirmiya,Trei Asar,BEFORE you learn Melochim
ipso (3) wasn't criminological. Many of our greatest eg Netziv
were opposed to young people learning it. [Sometimes even those who are older].
Also that is one of the reasons for the strange tune when we lein haftara. Difficult & impolite as it is to say thus it isn't necessarily for hoi polloi, at least until they're much more mature.
5:57,
ReplyDeleteYiddishkeit was always viewed primarily as the collective incumbence /observance on the national community, rather than just the individual. That is, prior to its recent reorientation / reinvention in the 20th century.
Their upholding Shabbos is more important than your Mussaf.
On top of that, Zionism promoted it's cause that Jewish practice shouldn't any longer be under local rubrics, rather Jewish practice must be organized under larger National joint undertakings.
Bialik, for example, insisted emphatically the new Yishuv must promote & keep Shabbos in public-even while he himself was a private mechallel shabbos
Would be wise to get your basic facts before you propagandize.
