We Need to Realize we Are in Golus
At the Q&A session of the Agudah convention The roshei yeshiva were asked about the Torah approach to rising antisemitism in America. Rav Brudny said that we need to realize we are in Galus and be thankful to our host country. He than lamented those politicians that are the faces of the impeachment proceedings targeting the president from when he was elected. What they are doing is causing hate and antisemitism against Yidden in America. He alluded to the video clip far-right Christian talk show who has posted a viciously antisemitic rant about the current presidential impeachment battle in the US Congress. Pastor Rick Wiles called a “Jew coup” Addressing the impeachment proceedings currently underway against Trump, on his talk show last Monday.

An Altruistic Rant; for Lieberman, a kick in the Pants
By: Zion-Nisht Kain'aar
Years ago, Benny Begin, deserted by his party faithful ruefully remarked, אני חזן בלי בית כנסת!
Last week, unbeknownst to him the Rebbe of Satmar played the role of Chazzan
to the entire Knesset and others with a fire and brimstone drasha, about inequity in ארצינו
.הקדושה
Apparently, Yisrael Beiteinu’s leader was traumatized by the polemic – by Sunday he still hadn’t gotten over it. He remarked:
רק באיראן אפשר לשמוע דבר כזה, שמדברים נגד המדינה, נגד חיילי צה"ל ונגד החכי"ם החרדים בעצמם. אם הוא היה נואם נגד ארצות הברית ונגד צבא בארצות הברית, היו מעיפים אותו בלי לחשוב פעמיים.
"Only in Iran will one hear [i.e. such incendiary talk] such as this – to speak against the medinah, חיילי צה"ל ,and against chareidim chavrei Knesset.
Were he to speak [in America] against the U.S. and its army, they’d deport him without thinking twice".
Mr. Lieberman should blame himself first. For the longest time, he stirs the pot and stokes the fires of intense dislike among Israelis against Torah, ר''ל and what he calls "Messianic Chareidim."
Witness his rhetoric:
"ליצמן וסמוטריץ שאומרים שיפעלו לסגור את המערך של התחבורה בגוש דן בשבת – אנחנו נפעל בדיוק
ההיפך, שגם תושבי אשדוד, נתניה, ואשקלון יוכלו להגיע למוקדי הבילוי."
Litzman and Smotritz want to close down transportation in Gush Dan for Shabbos – we’ll be proactive to exact the opposite [ר''ל] and permit Ashdod, Netanya and Ashkelon to have services available to reach venues of entertainment.
Torah supersedes Avigdor Lieberman’s aspirations. Since the inception of the State, there has been a status quo in place – Shabbos is a day of rest, without any public transportation – decades before this totalitarian made it out of the U.S.S.R.
If you incite hatred, there’s going to be pushback. In Russia the rules for a game of dodgeball may vary, but worldover, there’s one standard rule: In Chinese it’s called,
אז מען ווארפט די באל, ווארפט מען צוריק
If you lash out at K'lal Yisrael’s heritage, someone’s going to return the favor,
.הרבה שלוחים למקום, this time a hearty yasher koach goes to the Admor Reb Zalman Leib shlita- גם ברוך יהיה!

Lakewood BOE Reneged on settlement
R' Aaron Lang wrote on Twitter that the Lakewood BOE reneged and did not approve the settlement they reached to give him back his teaching job. Even had the board ratified it he still would have lost $18,000 from last year since losing status as senior teacher.
Back in August the board voted to demote and transfer R' Aaron Lang a BMG alumnus and Lawyer, from his teaching job at the high school to a 8th grade teachers position. Mr. Lang filed an affidavit claiming the demotion has to do with his lawsuit against the state to provide more funding for the Lakewood school district since he subpoenaed district officials to testify in the case.
Earlier this month R' Aaron Lang supposedly got his old teaching position back after going to the Public Employment Relations Commission and reached a settlement. The Lakewood school district was expected to give him back the high school job for the 2020-21 school year.
Today he wrote that the school reneged on the settlement and that he confirmed this with the superintendent. see what he wrote on Twitter below:

Lakewood, NJ: Failure to Vaccinate or Vaccine Failure?
Anti Vaxxer Article by Mr. Justin Steiner of Lakewood posted origianly on Childrens health Defense .org (Justin Steiner is a pseudonym for the author who lives in Lakewood, NJ and prefers anonymity given the current controversy over vaccination.)
On November 14, thousands congregated at the National Mall in Washington DC the V.I.E. (Vaccine Injury Epidemic) Event, calling on legislators to hear us out. But was anyone listening?
Apparently not in New Jersey.
In a letter dated November 14th, Senator Bob Menendez sent a letter to Mark Zuckerberg lamenting that New Jersey’s measles outbreak last winter, “has been fueled, in part, by misinformation about vaccine safety spread via Facebook ads”.
I live in Lakewood, where most of the NJ measles cases occurred. Early last winter, there were 30 documented cases of measles in Ocean County. Everyone recovered without incident and no serious complications were reported, but the Lakewood “outbreak” made national news and was used to amplify fears over what is a generally benign virus and create panic both within the community and throughout the state. Additionally, the outbreak was used to promote a sneaky legislative amendment that seeks to abolish religious exemptions in New Jersey. As winter approaches this year, it’s worth reviewing the facts on the ground.

Eagle Ridge GDP Application Approved
After a lengthy application process 30 hours of testimony the Lakewood Planning board approved the general development plan for The Parke development at Eagle Ridge Golf course.
Attorney for the residents said it will be challenged in superior court
The board voted on a motion to approve with some stipulations for improvements on future developments.
The attorneys for both sides made closing statements. The board deliberated for 30 minutes and members pointed out how Lakewood and the fairways enclave developments used to be wooded pristine areas and that they miss the golf course as well but now times have changed. Lakewood is now more condensed and this is the Lakewood we live in. The board said they take both sides and concerns into consideration. On issues of storm water and traffic the board applauded the attorney for the residents to bringing it to their attention otherwise it would have been a potential flaw. As far as traffic the first 3 phases are clear but the board would like to focus on the outside plan.
There were the conditions:
The roadways should follow the masterplan recommendations
There should be one lane in and 3 lane outs on Augusta blvd giving a left and right turning lane
Cross street must be widened to have turning lanes from rt 9 to E Veterans as long as its consisting with county improvements and design before issuing phase 1 co's
A traffic signal be installed at the Augasta blvd intersection prior to phase 2 co's
There should be a plan for Cross street to be dualized at phase 3
Before phase 4 there should be a plan for a second entrance into the development but not mandated only reserving the right to require
There should be a fiscal impact report prior to each phase
All storm water matters should be addressed before all phases.
