    @Godal My suggestion to you is to rent a bunker off the coast of New Zeeland and spend the summer there or perhaps Yemen with no case, you sure will be save.

    Huju:
    I am a visibly chasidish man [ beard yalmuka etc.] I use to work for the City of NY, one February we all took a Black History quiz on a lark, and guess what? I was the high scorer, ahead of 3 African Americans.
    One of black guys [ who I thought was a bigot] said, very well that’s the way it should be white people need to know black history so I told him, Carl, here is what is the difference I study history, white, black, Asian or whatever and you just focus on black history

    Chaim Shulem, yeah its true, you probably have less 1000 Jews in either of these states, and to top it off Montana is the 4th largest state in the union, just to get from one part of the state to the other can take hours even with high speed limits that are nominally enforced. [ I have a picture I took at the rest area of a cow and the caption read “just because you see more cows then cops does not mean you cant get a ticket”]
    So the shilaich focus is on Kiruv and serving the guest at Yellowstone along with the shilach at Jackson Wy.

    @Chaim Shulem, actually Boise and Bozeman both have mivkahs, miyanim there are sporadic, [mostly Chabad and limited to yomtov and occasional Shabbos] I use to come annually to Montana when I was doing business there, friendly people, very pro business environment and contrary to what you hear I had no issues there being a visible frum yid whereas I get plenty of hate in the outskirts of Monsey, if you love amazing views and outdoors this is the place.

    Read between the line, NYS wont allow it

    With camps in limbo if they will be allowed to open, NY Governor Cuimo says a decision on whether sleep away camps can open this summer in New York is yet to be made. In an interview this morning, Cuomo told Long Island News Radio that the issue is the inflammatory illness believed to be related to the cronavirus that has been affecting children, and concerns over spreading it.
    Cuomo reiterated that as the number of COVID-19 cases and deaths decline, summer day camps can start to open at the end of the month. He said no decision has been made on sleepaway camps.

    So, he added, “Summer day camps are going to open on June 29. We’re still reviewing the situation with sleepaway camps.”
    “I’m making that decision like it’s my own daughter. Today, if you asked me I would send my daughter to sleep away camp, I would not, Cuomo said.”

    @charlie Hall, There was a storekeeper on 13th Ave. who tried to hug the cop who was giving him the ticket and for some odd reason the cop was not impressed, I guess Weiss has more experience in hugging people.

    @n0m, your know what? your 1000% right, they are just fine upstanding people who are civic minded.
    And now bh these fine people will be banned from utilizing the services of this and two other mosdos who joined them.
    Maybe next time the “fine upstanding civic minded people” will think twice before they do their thing.

    Dear N0m, I have neither the time or inclination to be busy with someone who keeps repeating himself. Unlike a bocherisher mentality of being busy with saving face or beating the system in the adult world people do things based on principle.
    In this case they felt it appropriate to deny any benefit of its services to someone who they felt hurt them regardless of what motivated to do that.
    FYI I got an email to stop supporting a certain charity founded by a Doctor and a certain charity founded by a Rabbi who encouraged meserah, I forward the email to my contact list

    @ av, its just the verbiage they use in Hebrew, they know EXACTLY who made the calls:
    In Israel, the Freedom of Information Law, 5758-1998, supported by the Freedom of Information Regulations, 5759-1999, controls freedom of information. It defines the bodies subject to the legislation by a set of listed categories – essentially, most public bodies – and provides for the government to publish a list of all affected bodies.
    They filed FOILS and know who made the calls,
    PS people are filing FOILS in the US as well

    @n0m I was going make a comment about the bucherish mentality however I will answer in hopes that you will mature.
    The Mosod control the gemach therefore the informer needs to come to the mosed to borrow the money, to rent the low cost hall they to reserve the place thru the shamas.
    So no, this has teeth in it and from what I hear in bnai breq other mosdos are following the lead

    @Avi k, had you read this post from the beginning instead of just trying to make someone sound silly you would have read that we are talking about a Chasidus in Bnai Brak not NYC.
    but being that you asked I will tell you, the Chasidus has many services that the community at large utilizes including a very low cost social hall [ just pay the cleaning cost], a gemach that lent money to the community at large, etc. This has been going for many year pre corona and will iyh go on for many more years.
    As to your question of how do they know who informed, very simple its a matter of public record both in Israel and in the USA

    @ Avi K, no problem, the way to respond with kindness is with equal kindness, being the Bohush was such a evil place and it needed a favor of being reported, the mosdos is extending the favor by forcing them to find another Gamach or another social hall that one can rent for next to nothing, kindness is repaid in kind.

    @syag,
    I posted this the same way the person posted the news about Young Israel or the same way that Yair Hoffman posted about Rabbi Frankel. Its current events and this report was already in the media, certainly didn’t post it for fun of it.
    The mochlokes started on March 17 and continued till now, when you had a Doctor running into shuls threatening people, when you have a van crashing into people davening outside, when you had a Rabbi threaten to run another Rabbi out of the five towns because he operated a porch minyan, when you had a shul in Florida ostracize people for forming a minyan that was not machlokes??? give me a break. And you certainly had no issue with those.
    I guess it depends on whos ox is being gored.

    @n0m, the way to teach them is to make it painful that you wont be motivated to this again, for example when you speed and you pay a fine and your insurance goes up its a painful lesson.
    There are number of people as you can see by reading the comments who feel 100% justified snitching on the neighbors I don’t care how scared you were, there are certain lines you don’t cross.
    So if you try to bite the hand that fed you [ informing on the mosed when you used the gemach and now you need to find a new place to borrow money] let it be a painful lesson.

    @n0m I always said it was overblown, however I am afraid bad feelings would linger for a long time, on my block we had people who davened in indoor miyanim, people who daven in outdoor minyanim and people who daven beyichus yet we all respected each others decisions, the problem is when you have agitators who call people names for disagreeing with his viewpoint, people calling police on others, it took sinah to a whole new level

    @syag, there is a tort concept called assumption of risk, meaning that your aware of the risk and you proceed, for example when I go rafting, skiing, etc. I take an assumption of risk, Likewise this is the same, I have a high count of antibodies [ so high that the red cross call me the day after my results came in asking me to donate plasma] and I am negative for covid 19, so with social distancing my chances of infecting someone is remote.
    Obviously this worked in Bohush because no one got seriously sick ,and they have every right to denie access to the extended network of chesed to those who stabbed them in the back

    One of the people who davened in our INDOOR regular shul minyan this shabbos was a 94 year old man who walks to shul everyday with a walker, this Shabbos was the first time he davened in a shul since corona, when people asked him why he came he said, I survived Kristallnacht, Kinder transport, other wars, 9/11 and I am an old man I will die of something eventually, so if I go down at least I will go down davening with a minyan.
