Updated: Israeli MK intercedes on Behalf of Lakewood Bachur in IDF Prison

Update: מעבדות לחירות B"H The Bachur was released before Yom Tov in Eretz Yisrael thanks to the help of Rav Shmuel Rabinowitz and MK Aryeh Deri. He will return to prison following the first day Yom Tov and finish the 20 day sentence.

While the frum knesset members remain silent, in a last minute attempt to free a Lakewood boy from IDF Military Prison for Pesach,  Knesset Member Dov Khenin of the Communist party  penned a Letter to the Defense Minister Avigdr Lieberman on behalf of the boy to set him free. He writes there is no question this boy is not fit to serve in the IDF due to his health conditions and other personal issues. He was acting on advice of his Rabbis not to enlist or go to the Recruitment center. There is no reason he should not be freed and be able to spend the Seder night with his family. There is no reason that this young bachur should be a target of a national political debate especially considering his health and current emotional state.

Families Could Still Count on You

In Yiddish there is a saying the Yom Tov is called pesach because you 
Pay- asach. (pay a lot) The expenses that come along with yom tov are known to all. It was back in the days of the Gemara that chazal instituted the minhag of Maos Chitim, wheat money. It was collected to help pay for the wheat to bake the matzos with. There are Mishpachos that are in over their head with tzorchei Yom Tov.

Today its more than just the matzah that's expensive, the cost of making Yom tov includes wine, Meat, fish, Kosher L'pesach foods and new utensils. Those making pesach for the first time incur great expenses buying new dishes, utensils, pots, pans, appliances and more. 
Pesach had become the time when many buy new clothing for shabbos and yom tov for the year. Yeshiva Bochurim restock their wardrobe during pesach bein hazmanim looking for bargains on  Suits, Shirts, shoes, ties, hats, and on and

Custodian Arrested for tipping Off Drug Dealer about Raid

Patch- A Lakewood Township custodian has been arrested after authorities say he tipped off a drug dealer about a coming raid, authorities said Tuesday.
The arrest of Jorge L. Lopez was announced by Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph D. Coronato and Lakewood Chief of Police Gregory H. Meyer. The arrest stems from a March 16 incident where Lopez observed officers assembling in a township building to execute a narcotics-related search warrant, said Al Della Fave, spokesman for the prosecutor's office.
Lopez was authorized to be in the building as a township custodian; however, he was not authorized to share what he observed, but Lopez allegedly alerted his drug supplier, who was also the target of the raid, Della Fave said.

Book: Lakewood and Lubavitch

Lakewood and Lubavitch preview by Rabbi Chaim Dalfin (Author)

After years of research, Rabbi Chaim Dalfin, author of over 50 books including Rav and Rebbe and The Real Shlomo, has published another bestseller. He looks at the two largest Torah movements in the USA, Chabad-Lubavitch and Rabbi Aaron Kotler’s following in Lakewood, and examines the relationship between them. This book opens for the first time a detailed documented presentation of facts, not fiction, While Chabad seeks to establish Chabad Houses throughout the country, Lakewood seeks to establish kollels in small communities. While the method may differ, the end mission is united: in preserving, spreading and celebrating Torah. Thus Rabbi Dalfin sees that what unites us is stronger than what divides us. He recognizes that what is needed now is ahavat chinam, not sinat chinom the purpose of showing how far the two groups have come in uniting.

Lakewood Ranked as Youngest Town in New Jersey

In a list of the 10 Youngest towns in NJ, Lakewood tops the list with a average median age of 21. According to a report in NJ.com
The youngest town in New Jersey is a bit of an anomaly. Surrounded almost entirely by towns where residents are 20 years older, Lakewood in Ocean County has a median age of about 21.
On the other hand the town of Cape May Point, tops the list of the oldest town in NJ where the median age is about 73 years old.

The Report explains Lakewood's number is "almost exclusively due to the fact that it houses one of the largest yeshivas in the world, drawing young members of the Jewish Orthodox community from around the globe." 
Lakewood is followed by the one of the state's biggest college towns, New Brunswick. Except for Chesterfield in Burlington County and Prospect Park in Passaic County, all the 10 youngest towns have median ages well under 30. red more at NJ.com

Lakewood Officials confident on Funding Formula Fix for Lakewood

Lakewood officials hint they are hopeful that Gov Murphy will address the funding formula pertaining to Lakewood and other towns. At the recent Township committee meeting a resident asked about the potential shortfall of $30 million for the School district. officials said they are confident that something will be done that the BOE will get its funding from the state. The Mayor said he does not have it in writing but it appears something is in the works. The acting Department of Education commissioner, Lamont Repollet was grilled yesterday at confirmation hearings about the funding formula.

APP reports that "Lakewood school district has bet on Repollet, as a former neighbor on the Jersey Shore when he was superintendent in Asbury Park. The report says that One Lakewood board member, Thea Jackson-Byers, worked for Repollet in Asbury Park schools and Sen. Robert Singer, R-Ocean, said he’d spoken to Repollet about how to fix the funding problem."

ADL: Lakewood Officials should Condemn Vandalism

It is imperative that this brazen act of anti-Jewish animus be condemned by Lakewood's elected officials, community leaders, religious and faith communities. An attack on the Jewish community is an attack on all communities. New Jersey is #NoPlaceForHate. https://t.co/8C0q0cE03A

— ADL New Jersey (@ADL_NJ) March 26, 2018

Gov Murphy said "Hatred and bigotry, including displays of antisemitism, must be confronted and stamped out in all its forms."
