Why do we mainly ignore the Lakewood tragedy?

@levi365248
I, too, had NO idea what tragedy YWN was referring to . I asked around but no one knew what it was. I guess the Yeshiva World (?) News revolves around Lakewood?? There wasn’t ANY WRITE UP IN YWN, how are we OOT supposed to know what is going on?

Why does anyone need to know? There’s no need to know this story. It’s better for everyone to not know or talk about.

Welcome to today’s generation of living in denial instead of waking up and FACING REALITY and doing something about the issue….

Let’s be honest. What happens today when Chas Vshalom a tragedy strikes klal yisroel? %98 of people -yes yóu read that correctly-will block it from their face and let their corrupt mind tell them what does this have to do with me, I’m not from Lakewood or even know the family etc……? When the truth is that in the back of our heads we ALL get Hashems wake up call for serious teshuva and Achdus together as one loving nation and we also know that there’s no such a thing as coincidence including the famous truth of “ain poranius baolam ela bishvil yisroel” which means even if Chas Vshalom a tragedy happens in China with not a single jew involved we all know the truth that it is still a message DIRECTLY FROM HASHEM AND STRAIGHT TO KLAL YISROEL sometimes the wake up call message is for serious teshuva and Achdus together while other tragedies rachmana litzlan have been wake up call messages relating to the tumah of the technology generation of smart phones that are destroying the kedusha in yisroel.

May we all finally wake up and FACE REALITY and openly confess and accept Hashems wake up call for serious teshuva and Achdus together so Hashem can send mashiach already bkarov.

May the innocent neshamos have an aliya.

It was journalistic malpractice to publish News Site stories about some absract horrific even in Lakewood referenced only as “the tragedy” and leave readers from outside the community speculating what might have happened and to whom. I’m assuming local media and gossip spread their understanding of the events but those of us outside of NJ had no clue with one speculating that the “tragedy” may have been linked to the last minute event scheduled in the heat on Sunday afternoon to honor the five elderly rabbonim from EY who flew over to raise money for yeshivos in EY who are losing government stipends for bochurim who don enlist, some of whom fraudulently claim they are learning to get the money. When we finally learned of the tragedy of a mother murdering her two young children it became clear that YWN simply felt that it would be somehow helpful to the tzibur to hide the facts of what had happened and address the issue from 50,000 ft. when any context.nbn

1. It is Lashon Ho’ra.
2. There is nothing you can do about it, or could have done about it.

You can make awareness about mental health without publicizing a story that can scare people, is lashon hara, etc .
There is plenty of awareness and everyone already knows that just because someone is “from” – comes to shul, wears a white shirt, doesn’t mean he’s any different than a non frum jew and doesn’t mean the things that non Jews do, he can’t do (obviously a jew is a jew in the inside)
