Who replaced Rav Shlomo Friefeld? no one, the shoes were too big in more ways then one.
@ujm, its just replacing the yeshivisher crowd in flatbush, no net growth of frum families like Monsey, Lakewood or Staten Island
@UJM, “Interestingly, over the last few years it is also starting to occur with Boro Park, but to a lesser degree. The Yeshivos there are still growing but at a smaller pace.”
My Brother in law is a menhal in on of the Boro Park mosdos and he told me they are losing 10-20% of the families a year for the past 10 years resulting in consolidation of the classes. Main motivation of the move is affordability, for what they are paying to buy a two bedroom condo in Boro park they can buy a house on a half acre lot in Monsey or Lakewood.
The main reason it is not even a greater exodus from Boro Park is the lack of capacity in schools, there are 5 applicats for every seat in the first grade in most Monsey school.
Greater Monsey starts in Pearl River and end in West Haverstraw 15 miles N to S and runs from Nanuet to Suffern W to E a distance of 10 miles.
Greater Lakewood Starts in Dover Twp and ends in Jackson E to West and starts in Manchester and ends in Howell N to S.
And that does not even mention all the new places sprang up in the past 10 years, Linden, Staten Island, Union NJ, Hollywood Fl. Etc.@lakewhut “Lakewood a yeshiva community to get away from the gashmiyus of the big city and Mobsey a suburb.,”
Monsey started around Bais Medresh Elyon, it was a small hamlet with 5 stores as Monsey grew the balla batim came drawn by the proximity to NYC, in the late 60s the Scver Rebbe established New Sqaure followed by Visnits a few years later and the rest is history, but Monsey was started by BME.AAQ, I cant give an opinion on how pork or shellfish tastes because I never eat it, same here I flew pre covid and during covid and I can tell you they are on power trips
@AAQ, after you have flown I will answer your question
@CT Lawyer, the 10 Senators who Biden met with offered a middle of the road more moderate option without the insane add ons that the Democrat bill had and they were promptly shown the door.
@ujm, this is closer to having a discussion is a kava steeble or a haiser mikva, a fair exchange of opinion and no one is shame nor has his mind changed by what someone has to say.
@Jackk, the reason no GOP voted for it is because in the great tradition of is former boss Obama he refused to negotiate with the GOP, so much for the bipartisan drivel we heard so much from el presidente
@CT lawyer, Great minds think alike, because I too invested in March 2020 in the travel sector [mostly airlines] [including some like spirt that I never fly on] my best move was buying Avis instead of Hertz.
In the early days of Jetblue they had a culture of customer service and I enjoyed flying them, the former CEO of Jetblue is opening a new airline with a focus of customer service@CTLawyer, You still have options out of HPN to Florida, Jet blue has service there and that is still my prefered option, the only issue I have with HPN is the lack of long term parking
@AAQ, ein domeh smeah lereah, I experienced it first hand , they ARE on a power trip, you admitted you have not been in a airport in 13 months so your opinion does not matter
@CharlieHall, actually we have Sir Freddy Laker, Frank Lorenzo, Kenny Friedkin of PSA, David Neeleman in addition to Herb who paved the way for the lost cost airlines.
Most of them used the playbook of Don Burr of People Express and Nickle and Dime you for everything.
At least in on those airlines it was fun to fly.
PS I paid my way thru college working for People Express in EWR@AAQ, try flying that way I did and then you can give your opinion if they are on power trip after seeing first hand, unless like your opinion about saying kaddish, you dont want to hear a differing opinion
@AAQ, I am fully compliant in airports and aircraft so it was not directed to me, you want details? my son told me a fight attendant was roaming the plane with a pen and paper and taking notes of everyone whos mask slipped, when you get on the plane they welcome you with a “if you don’t wear your mask we will throw you off the plane. sorry that’s called a power trip, when a fully compliant mask wearer from Ohio who is not Jewish complains about the same thing you know its not a frum issue.
PS have you flow in the past 12 months?@CT Lawyer, the employees of the ultra low cost airlines tend to be paid at a much lower pay scale then the legacy carrier hence a lower caliber employee, [ you get what you pay for], that being said I have flown Frontier Pre and during Covid with no issues other then the usual snarling about mask use.
I refuse to fly Spirit where the CEO wrote in a email about someone who asked for a refund after his flight was canceled ““We owe him nothing as far as I’m concerned,” Mr. Baldanza wrote “Let him tell the world how bad we are. He’s never flown us before anyway and will be back when we save him a penny.”
@Godal I flew Frontier, Jetblue, United and American, common denominator flight crew was rude for the most part from boarding of the plane to deplaning regardless is the plane was full or empty, most of them seem to be on a power trip.
PS my son just flew back from this zman in Israel and told me that the flight crew was roaming the aisles looking for reasons to complain@huju, as a frequent flyer on most carriers I can tell you that the nastiness of the flight crew in the past year is off the charts, they don’t even try to hide the contempt they have for the passengers and are downright rude and if you think its me thinking that way because I am a frum yid, guess what this came up in a conversation with business associate who is a lily white non Jew from Ohio.
@TGIShabbos, I use to belong to clear, and drop it because it was not worth the money, you to to show ID to join and if your on a banned list it would not work
1. When you book a ticket you have to enter your name and date of birth on to the reservation, most transactions are paid by credit card and that has your address, in my case I add TSA pre check number that has my address to use the pre check lines.
2. Your reservation had to match your ID or they will deny boarding.@Charlie, how about my comparison with Avi Weiss, Mordechai Levy of the JDO and Moshe Ber Beck of Neturai Karta who are all self serving self righteous publicity hounds who will do anything to get on camera
Charlie, here are plenty of self appointed publicity hounds who think they are doing the right thing ranging for the JDO on one end to Neturie Karta on the other.
Charlie, please explain the difference if any between Avi Weiss, Mordechai Levy or Moshe Ber Beck, they are all publicity hungry lunatics who thrive on getting under peoples skin.
why troll? or are you still ad delo yohah?
What does RCA, Young Israel and Agudah have in common? they all don’t legitimize the ordination of Chovivai Torah
AAQ, the common denominator of Avi Weiss and Bobby Fisher is both are / were Jewish and suffered from untreated mental health problems.
@ Nishtdan, some are tenkos the rest are lehasisWe had a fun and joyous purim seudah, we tried to cater 127 different cuisines but the caterer was unable to accommodate so we stuck with Hungarian stuffed cabbage, corn beef, and kugel.
@AAQ we didnt do sisha ragliaim we did shtay ragliam with rekudim.
We were visited by the local code enforcement to complain the gallows was a none conforming use and it exceeded height requirements, I told them that I retained CTLawyer and they left us alone.@AAQ, we are fully mask compliant for 24 hours, full face mask preferred, Just tried on my Dr. R Levine / Dr. Brackish Okun costume
@reb e, I did many term papers and two thesis that required a ton of research yet I still will seek out advice, lman hasholem I an dropping this topic and wish you simchas purim.
@reb e, with all due respect, I am not the one going around giving gratuitious opinions on how to pasken shailos BECAUSE I DEFER TO A RAV, I also defer to a lawyer / CPA/ MD. etc. The most you will see me do is give my opinion of politics or current events
AAQ,” actually 4 amot is about 6 reglaim or 2 meters …. basically privacy is as far as you can spit”
Exactly my point, reglaim is never mentioned in the torah, its a made up word@Reb e, the only thing that is bigger then your ignorance is your self aggrandizement, you should seek some help, whoops I forgot you don’t ask other peoples opinions
Avi Weiss always suffered from untreated mental health problems except that most of his people call it activism instead.
I am going to dress up as Dr. R Levine Dep. Secty. of HHS, the only problem is that some of the people who I showed it to thought it was Dr. Brakish Okun from Independence Day.
Our shul where where masks are generally optional is strongly encouraging everyone to wear full face mask of their favorite villan of 2020.@Yid1818, You want to do tshuva? stopping being a internet troll and open a yiddish sefer, every time time you post its of the trollish nature, now I know your a bored bucher but this is getting stale.
@reb E how about asking him [the rav] in the first place?
@Jackk, Sorry but John Sullivan of Utah is a Antifa and was arrested, that being said I think that the riot is a HUGH stain in our history.
“The coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. We are in contact with everyone and all relevant countries.CDC and world health have been working hard and very smart.”
Amazing how it took less then a month ROFL@Charlie Hall
“We are cooking Indian food because India is specifically mentioned in Megillat Esther.
In the past we have cooked Persian food
One of these days I will learn to cook Ethiopian food.”
FYI Kush was in Sudan/ Egypt, not Ethiopia
And you would need to cook 127 different types of cuisines@AAQ, I didn’t ask this shailoah to my Rav because it was not an issue for me, I have been davening indoor since May 2020, and when we davened outdoors the person saying kaddish said them all with no issues, just as I always ask for guidance from a Rav for halacha limiysah I dont ask “ah be tzu fragin”.
My issue is people jumping to conclusions without spending 5 minutes calling a rav to find out if they are doing is khalacah.
@Reb E, when you are at the level of learning of the Dayanim in Moshe Rabbaniu time you should have no issue of paskening your own shalios, even if your at the level of a contempary posek of our time, Rav Moshe Feinstein, Rav Moshe Bick, Rav Wosner, Rav Elyasiv, The Stipeler ZTL etc. etc. then you can pasken your own shailos
