Gas prices keep rising in NJ
Drivers in New Jersey are seeing gas prices only going up. Analysts predict prices will be at over $3 a gallon this coming spring. AAA Mid-Atlantic says the average price of a gallon of regular gas in is $2.71. Last year at this time gas in NJ was $2.35. The 25 cents gas tax in NJ is partly to blame for the high price.
Analysts point that Opec production cuts, and exports of oil to South America due to Valenzuela economy collapse are the factors for the price increase.

Lakewood Launches 'Chabad Hat'
COLlive.com - Lakewood reaches out to Lubavitch.
A popular hat store based in Lakewood, NJ, is introducing what they called "the first-ever foldable Chabad hat," promising to help chassidim and bochurim in their many travels.See Video Below
As Lubavitchers of all ages are strict about taking their black fedora along during both personal and business trips, storing the delicate felt hat has always been an issue. Whether traveling by car, train or plane, the hats tend to get crushed by a heavy suitcase or other items. On flights, where airlines limit the amount of carry-on luggage a traveler can bring, the hat box becomes a burden that many would love to do without. Now, Simchy Zuckerman, a young entrepreneur and proprietor of the ThatHat store, says he had come up with a solution. His company designed a hat that he says is an "extremely light-weight, rabbit-felt hat that can be folded and placed in a suitcase or even your pocket, and will not leave a single crease." In describing how he came up with the idea, Zuckerman explained that while the concept of a foldable hat is not his original idea, "There was no foldable hat available for the Yeshiva or Chabad crowd." "I incorporated the idea and manufactured something that is comfortable, stylish, and most of most of all, looks no different than the average black hat," he says. He says the new hat, which is produced exclusively for ThatHat at a plant in Italy, is perfect for travelers and Bar Mitzvah-aged children because of its smaller brim size, it can last for many years.
Shidduchim: “Balabatish,” “Heimish,” and “Yeshivish.” explained by Lakewood Shadchanim
A Report on the Zichron Mattel Keren Chasanim event in Lakewood
from the 5 Towns Jewish Times by Mr. Larry Gordon
5tjt - The event took place in the epicenter of what can conceivably be referred to as the shidduch headquarters, if there is such a thing. It was last week in Lakewood, New Jersey, at Beis Medrash Govoha, and the annual event billed as Keren HaChasanim was under way. It is a wonderful experience. I traveled to Lakewood after work last Tuesday night with Yoeli Steinberg, the CEO of the Gourmet Glatt stores.
Over the previous Shabbos, he suggested that I accompany him to Lakewood, and though the Lakewood culture, so to speak, is really not part of my purview or usual domain, I agreed because it would be a new experience and possibly—as you can see—something I could expound upon that would end up in our newspaper and on our website, as well as posted on our other digital outlets.
Lakewood is more than just a city deep in the state of New Jersey. Lakewood is one of the leading yeshiva centers in the world, a bastion of scholarship and a beacon of the light of Torah to the world. But Lakewood is also a city made up of diverse people within both the similar but simultaneously different parts of the Jewish community. That dichotomy is more pronounced when it comes to the matter of making matches between the young men and women. While shidduchim thankfully occur every day, there is a still a crisis of sorts that looms large.
So let me first tell you about the wonderful event we attended last week that is somewhat unique and also inspiring before I get bogged down in the discussion of other issues.
The dinner, which was sponsored by Gourmet Glatt of Lakewood, featured the participation of hundreds of young men who were there to ostensibly pledge their support for one another by committing to donate $300 from the gifts accrued at their own weddings, once they take place. Building this type of internal charitable mechanism results in young men who require assistance in preparing for their own weddings receiving a stipend of $3,000 each.
So I am introduced to the “Lakewood shadchanim,” the men who make it happen in that community. They are headed up by the personable Meir Levy. When I asked Meir straightforwardly how many shidduchim he has engineered, he quickly responded “328.” But that was last week so the number might have increased.

BOE To Reduce the Cost of Legal Services after Audit
The BOE will hold a public meeting Tomorrow Wed January 31, 2018.
An Audit on the BOE Budget of 2016-2017 made several recommendations.
-Legal Services: it said the district exceeds 130% of the statewide average for legal costs and recommends to implement specific internal controls for the reduction of costs or to provide evidence that such procedures would not result in a reduction of costs. The Board will vote on a resolution acknowledging it
See resolution below below
-Food service Finding - The audit indicated the fund exceeded three months average expenditures by $1,458,626
Recommendation- to reduce the net cash resources of the food service fund.
-Application for State School Aid revealed the following (CAFR Finding 2017-005): On-Roll • Student counts on the ASSA were not in agreement with supporting work papers provided for audit. • Certain students were not able to be verified to class registers provided for audit.
Resolution to recognize cost of legal services exceeded statewide average:
The Board recognizes that the cost of Legal Services for the 2016-2017 school year exceeded the statewide average per pupil amount as determined by the annual audit and as reported in the Taxpayer’s Guide to Education Spending. Furthermore, the Board is committed to reducing those costs to no more than 130% of the statewide average per pupil amount and to accomplish this will continue to monitor those expenditures in accordance with the requirements of N.J.A.C. 6A:23A-5.2(a)(3).
