באש ובמים - עם ישראל חי

Singer Avrohom Fried writes about the fires burning in Eretz Yisrael the words of a recent song come to mind.  ( listen to song below)

כשהקלטתי את השיר הזה, מילותיו של הנביא ישעיהו ריגשו אותי בעוצמתם, אך לא ידעתי עד כמה יהיו רלבנטיות יום אחד בארץ הקודש. "כי-תעבור במים איתך-אני, ובנהרות לא ישטפוך:  כי-תלך במו-אש לא תיכווה, ולהבה לא תבער-בך." (ישעיהו מ"ג)
המלב"ים שואל על הפסוק הזה, מדוע הכפילות? במים/בנהרות", "באש/להבה". ועונה שם, כי ישנם שני סוגים של הצלה. יש הצלה בדרך הטבע. במצב בו ה' יתברך שומר על האדם שלא יתקרב אליו המזיק. אבל יש גם הצלה ניסית, כך שאפילו אם יהיה במקום בו יש אש ומים, הטבע שלהם מתבטל ולא מזיק לו 

 ואנו עומדים משתאים מול הניסים הגדולים ב"ה לעמנו, מול החוסן של עם ישראל ביום הקשה הזה,

Whats on sale?

Letter: Looking for info on the Lakewood- Manhattan commute

Dear Fellow Lakewooders,
I am a Lakewood resident who recently got a job in Manhattan. I am new to the commuting schedule and have no familiarity with Lakewood-Manhattan busses. If anyone can provide information and contact info for such daily transportation between Lakewood and Manhattan, both ways, it would greatly appreciated. Also, if there is information about davening Shacharis, that would helpful. 
Also, perhaps readers can advise whether it is better to take a bus than to drive myself, and what the cost considerations are. Other helpful info would be with regard to driving to the end of Jersey, parking somewhere there, and then taking a train into Manhattan, and whether that is a viable option.
Thank you and tizku l'mitzvos.
