here are excerpts from CNN and Fox News

I’ll start with CNN

“We’ve asked the people of this district to send a message to Washington, and I hope they hear it loud and clear,” Turner said at his election party in Queens with a packed room, many of them Orthodox Jews.

“Mr. President, you are on the wrong track.”

Fittingly, in a race largely centered on U.S. policies toward Israel, Turner stood on a stage with Israeli and American flags behind him.

Koch, a Democratic Jew, hoped his support would send a message to the White House that Jewish Americans were dissatisfied with Obama’s policies on Israel — namely the president’s position that a future Mideast peace solution requires Israel to return to its pre-1967 borders, with land swaps.

“I like President Obama … I helped get him elected,” Koch said at Turner’s election night party. “But he threw Israel under the bus.”

minutes after the election, the Republican Jewish Coalition released a statement in support of Turner.

“Jewish voters are coming to see that Republicans offer real solutions to our economic crisis, are resolute friends of Israel, and represent a way forward to a better future,” said executive director Matt Brooks.

He added that the election has “huge implications for 2012 races in states with large Jewish communities, such as Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania.”

now for FOX

Weprin, a 56-year-old Orthodox Jew and member of a prominent Queens political family, seemed a good fit for the largely white, working-class district, which is nearly 40 percent Jewish.

Weprin became embroiled in New York-centric disputes over Israel and gay marriage, which cost him some support among Jewish voters.

Orthodox Jews, who tend to be conservative on social issues, expressed anger over Weprin’s vote in the Assembly to legalize gay marriage. In July, New York became one of six states to recognize same-sex nuptials.

Former Mayor Ed Koch, a Democrat, endorsed Turner in July as a way to “send a message” to Obama on his policies toward Israel. And Weprin was challenged on his support of a proposed Islamic center and mosque near the World Trade Center site, in lower Manhattan.

I have a perfect example!

My wife and I went to a vort in miami beach and my wife was suprised that no one was wearing fancy clothing

Before my wife and I setted in florida she thought she had to go everywhere with her sheitel on, little did she realize that no one wears sheitels, only tichels (except on very special occasions)

What about enforcing your. Kashrus kulas on others, I’m going to sheva brachos tonight and the family who’s making it doesn’t filter their water so we can’t drink water or soup

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET?

Have the whole street (both sides of the street) in the same district,

What if there was a pothole right in the middle of the street, who takes care of it?

The #1 Issue is Israel and people are claiming Weprin is Anti-Israel which is not true

how does turner stand regarding Israel (he’s the same if no one guessed as much)

google it

Turkey will be out before Thanksgiving

Cshapiro,

Would they want entry level?

The first call asking for a play date (“can you come to my house now to play”) sounded like it came from the child. He was asking for an immediate play date, right now.

After I made the call to the mom and left a message asking to solidify plans, the child then called my son back (I answered) and he told me his mom said my son is not allowed to come over there.

you never know what happened behind the scenes

Why isn’t this any different than the birchas hachama thing, and others just like it (and lehavdil May 22nd, 2011)

I’m not knocking that people should do teshuva i’m knocking the way it’s gone about (Do teshuva b/c Moshiach is coming, war is coming, hurricane is coming)

I cheated (I tend to do that)

I’m in Flatbush for the weekend, and over Shabbos I tried out the good Shabbos thing, and everyone I said Good Shabbos to replied Good Shabbos back.

Maybe Flatbush really is changing

look in the hamodia, yated, and jewish press

this is probably a question to ask R Twersky,

_ e _ _ r i _ _ _ _ i _ _

Sorry had to go on the subway

Why does the passuk say v’simach es eishto and not I’m eishto

The reason, rav pam said is because when u get married it has to be all for ur wife and nothing in return, however when she sees that shell recipricate (from r pam)

Collegegrad,

Its true I accept gov’t assistance but the tachlis in life is to be self supportive, its not right to sit and get paid to do nothing

Lazybones,

If you go to an easy online college people see that and say “oh you went THERE” and the degree wouldn’t be worth the paper it was printed on

Exactly,

I think that’s the correct chiluk, why is the op shopping
