Rabbi Weisberg reveals his latest organization

TLS Reporting Rabbi Weisberg of Lakewood Community Busing Task Force: Carpool Drill Complete Success; Important Data Gleaned

You can read more on that site by clicking the link above, and then come back here for comments.

As usual TLS is censoring, below is a comment submitted to The Lakewood Times unedited.

This is a comment I posted on TLS (don't usually go there) under the name Libertarian, it stayed under moderation:
" It is always worse to pay the government to fund something, rather than pay for it yourselves.
Think a minute, someone has to work out how much the government needs, another has to audit it, a third put out the bids, a fourth to bill, a fifth to collect, a sixth to chase non payers & so on, all that adds to the cost. Another problem is crony politics when a bus company is more connected. Look at what happened to the BOE iPod gate.
I think it is time for us to stop following our politicians blindly, and making up excuses like showing unity.
Open your eyes & ask is there any conflict of interest going on here?
Do some (schools) own their own buses & gain from their own billing?
Are they those calling you out to protest? Are you blindly following?
It is possible that the few years you have kids being bussed you save a little money, because those who don’t, pay your bill, but in the long run, unless you will retire to Florida after your kids graduate school, you will be paying other’s bills, with all the extra costs.
Another good which could come from parents being parents and taking their kids to school showing love at the time of day, when everyone is rushing to work, and screaming at the kids to get ready in time, let parents show love instead of shove."

After a while seeing 20 plus comments ahead of me, I posted again under the same name, ( I don't have the exact comment, but to the effect of):
If someone doesn't agree with your political bias their comments don't get posted so much for an open forum.
Guess what?
Next time I went there I get your access is banned by administrator.
I leave the rest to your imagination.

I must thank TLS for being frumer than the heimishe filters out there & knocking me off so that I don't read their biased political drivel.
It is time for the Heimishe filters to follow in their footsteps & block TLS.

My comments are also not being published.

Here is what i wrote
The Rabbi said “the test drill seems to be an accurate preview of what traffic might look like in the fall if busing cuts are not restored”

How can the Rabbi say something like this when everyone knows that this is absolutely not true. Everyone Participated in this “drill” but come September, only 8100 will be effected. So this is NOT an accurate preview.

I do hope this issue gets resolved.

Mr. Weisberg was the singular most dispised member of the VAAD way back when it started. I personally saw him yelling at a yugerman way back in bais eliyahu who has the chutzpah to very nicely and cordially state his reason why he disagreed with the VAAD's endoresment in an election about 15 years ago.

The scoop does not allow any comments that expose the truth.

The vaad should be ashamed of themselves. They ask us to go vote for this one or that one and the rest of the year you don't hear from them.

When we get into a situation like this they report a bunch of Lies.

6/12/2014 11:30:21 pm

hey chevra!

calm down!

not everyone participated in this drill

there are a few thousand public school children that currently get courtesy buses and they didn't participate

most mesivta age boys didn't

many of the girls high schools didnt as they have finals

there are a few thousand more kids in the private school system next year

so yes its a pretty accurate idea of what next year would look like, im not saying you have to like these guys in charge as i don't either but you cant just make fun all day because then when it comes to real issues no one looks at you

The ay the bus system is run is full of waste. wasting tax money, wasted energy, wasted time, and wasting precious little kids, best time of their day.
The schools are nearer each other than the students, the schools are also more remote. Instead of each school picking up children from all over, busses should fill up kids at one or 2 stops & then stop at the schools..
Why doesn't this fly, because the parents don't have to pay, another because schools own their bus companies, and to top it up, parents who say my kid can't travel with yenem's kid. BTW they play together on the block, without a problem, they also have no problem with driver or the average hour plus a day of wasted time before & after school. Who knows what they are doing in that hour?
When parents have to pay & bus companies have to compete with parents not crony politicians, somehow the price will be down, so will gridlock, and children won't be pawns of those trying to make an extra buck, buy adding time to their already long day.
Kids sitting on a bus for extended time are being detained against their will, even though they have done nothing wrong.
If you can't take your kids yourself & have to bus them, then pay for your bussing. let their be school bus stops on every SECOND corner, and bus companies competing. The bus will come at 8.40 fill up & drive straight to the schools, NO RED LIGHT ALL OVER TOWN FOR AN HOUR & A HALF. MUCH LESS GRIDLOCK & LESS EXPENSE.
this could only happen when no so called ASKONIM, have their hands in our pocket books. It will end up cheaper for all of us who work own our houses & pay house tax.
Sorry to those who have congregations & pay no house tax, & those who get section 8 to pay on their behalf's, we are already subsidizing their lives, give us a break here, & pay your own way for once.

Hh you got way to much time on ur hands. Tweeting all day like the birdbrain you are.

To amazed

6/13/2014 06:19:35 am

If everyone would have listens to HH we would not be in this situation now.

STOP OVERGROWTH and build responsibly

Yeah

6/14/2014 09:59:42 pm

And housing prices would soar and taxes would double because your assesment would go up. Its the hh chevra on the board of ed that messed us up

common sense

6/15/2014 12:08:14 am

You sound like a typical politician trying to cover up the truth.Perhaps you are one, and probably one of corrupt ones trying to cash in on building and development on the backs of the rest of us. Now back to your comment, the If our assessment would go up then our tax rate automatically readjusts to accurately reflect the tax dollars needed to provide services. It was already proven in Lakewood that building dense housing with ZERO infrastructure to support it, IS A LOSING PROPOSITION!!!. On your second part of your comment, you blame the BOE?? Really? Did the BOE build thousands of new homes in Lakewood and create a tremendous strain on the services it provides, because our township committee allowed this to happen without taking into consideration all the consequences of irresponsible growth??? Are you blaming the BOE for the unsafe roads and lack of sidewalks in Lakewood??? Stop running away from the real problem!!!! Lets face the fact, The Lakewood township committee and the planning &zoning boards don't care about responsible growth, if they say they do then its all BS!! Its time to move on and bring in an entirely new governing body.
Nuf Said!!!!

to hh chevra

6/14/2014 11:15:33 pm

You are so wrong. First of all hh does not chevra on the boe secondly if the Yeshiva would have listened a year ago and 2 years ago we would not be in this situation. It's all about money and not for the benefit of the our precious children.

Flip side

6/15/2014 04:12:05 am

Every person who purchased a home that wouldnt have been built if hershkowitz got his way is thankful for the opportunity. I am one of those people and am grateful i am not throwing my rent money in the garbage. Is traffic worse? Yes. But if all you selfish people got YOUR way i never would have been able to purchase a home.

To flip side

6/15/2014 10:22:17 am

6/16/2014 01:26:01 am

who needs your kind? i was here first and purchased a nice home (not like the garbage you live in that some greedy rich corrupt selfish developer built) in an established area that has no traffic problems. I want lakewood to be that sleepy town i moved to in 1979.

6/16/2014 05:38:34 am

so weissberg has two houses on carey street one office at zev brown building and as well across the street
we the tax payers are paying for this??

6/16/2014 10:38:33 pm

yes. we r paying for his offices. also his bill at shloimys, his kids tuition and his dry cleaning. what are you an idiot?

6/17/2014 02:02:06 am

and I am paying for his jail time when times come

Jackson rules!

6/18/2014 01:36:17 am

Jackson here I come. i am sick of paying for the decisions made by our so called "askonim" and our township committeemen. Let them spend someone else's money.

Go to jackson

6/18/2014 08:34:42 am

And pay higher taxes AND pay for ur garbage pick up

Garbage

6/18/2014 02:08:20 pm

Private sanitation in Jackson only charges $24 a month per can. A second can is only a few dollars more. I'll trade for that any day over our over inflated mismanaged public works dept.

Jackson rules

6/19/2014 12:04:43 am

You are incorrect. The tax rate in jackson is already lower! See the link below which is published by the NJ Div. of Taxation. And this is before the recent hike in property taxes put into effect by our committeemen who only have our good in mine when the raise our taxes (snort). And all of us know that this is just the beginning. ASnd now that courtesy busing has been cut, you wil get the same busing in Jackson. In to Jackson and out of the dictatorial regime otherwise known as the VAAD.

Jackson does rule

6/19/2014 12:05:42 am

Here, here.

6/19/2014 06:15:45 am

I already live here right off Clearstream. It's the best! I laugh every time you guys pay higher taxes because unzerer sit on your committee and keep rasing taxes. By us, the nisht unzerer who run the town are watching our pocketbooks a lot better.

Jackson Thrives

6/20/2014 12:45:28 am

Jackson Township members are independents, not Repocrats, they only have to answer to their constituents, not the mafia.
As for Lakewood...
Time for a new post already.

Suffering under the high tax burden

6/20/2014 08:11:30 am

I wish I could afford leaving Lakewood and its corrupt VAAD and political machine. I can't though. I must suffer and keep paying the piper as these idiots spend, spend and spend more (that is when they are not giving away for $20 township land on Cedarbridge). Sick. These frum people have no respect for momon yisrael. They are killing us. They will have to give a din ve'cheshbon one day.

Ephaim Birnbaum is in a personal midlife crisis with the whole Jackson Fiasco , the Zoning board turning down his proposal to build a girls High school in Jackson

For all his Life Ephraim Birnbaum who grew up in Suburban America put all his trust in the American Judicial and govt system, He is a former Dayan under Rabbi Gavriel Finkel who sent all his Dinai Torah to the Ocean County Court System for Piskei Halacha. he Handed out Heter Arkous like free loly pops to anyone who asked he would encourage anyone who come to him with a din Torah or any issue with a Fellow Yid to go to the , Sherrifs,Police, civil courts, criminal courts, and Family courts. to the point that people started calling Bais Din Vaad Hadayonim the Ocean County Court

6/22/2014 03:48:22 pm

Efraim grew up in Brooklyn. is that called "suburban America"?

BOE crisis

6/22/2014 10:53:43 pm

No mention of the new FBI BOE story in the APP over here.
Time for a new post.
If I am correct, R. Birmbaum is from Detroit. I feel bad for him, all the money, time & hope he put in to it. Nevertheless, I have it hard to understand what was his hava amina.
Jackson has ultra strict zoning rules, they are hell-bent on staying rural. you almost can't build a house there, possibly a stable for horses or dog kennels may be allowed. Why would they allow a school, who will use resource's from the BOE & Township & pay no taxes in return, and not provide a service for anyone in their town, neither jobs nor education?
To them it is a parasitic entirety which will add traffic & noise. I am not sure if he could have chosen another town in the entire NJ, which would be harder to get a permit.
It is a shame he really does need a school building & has already shelled out money for the plans, maybe AK will give him a plot in CedarBridge for a few unter der tisch? who knows?

Once again we Have Ephraim Birnbaum with his over sized Ego Making another drawn out Chillul Hashem in Jackson for all the word to see, than 3 days after the Jackson Rejection Birnbaum pulls out an empty warehouse in Lakewood Industria Park he had all along to buid his ooros school

Vaad Hadayonim Terrorists

6/27/2014 06:30:52 am

Ephraim Birnbaum was a Former Dayan on R' Gavriel Finkels Bais Din, Birnbaums whole career lasted aprox. 5 Years .I Wonder Why?

Like his good Freind Avrohom Gutman Ephraim Birnbaum started off as a secretery for Vaad Hadayonim, When Vaad Hadayonim ran out of Dayanim they pulled in Birnbaum as a Fill in. When someone asked Finkel how he can have an Am Haaretz like Birnbaum working as a Dayan on His Bais Din, Gavriel Finkels answer was " i use Birnbaum as a Thug when i need him to".

6/28/2014 07:40:11 pm

why is Finkel any different than Birnbaum

Judge Tony the Posek

6/28/2014 04:11:25 pm

So Basically what you are saying is, being thatRabbi Ephraim Birnbaum is not knowledgable or at the very least not proficiant in Chosen Mishpat or Yoreh Deah,he is unable to Pasken in these areas , so when a Din Torah comes before R' Birmbaum he sends it to the Ocean County Court in Toms River for The Non Jewish Judge to issue a Psak Halacha. NICE!! is there anything else i should know about this Birnbaum Fellow or Vaad Hadayonim

Innocent Bystander

I'm perturbed by having to constantly see Moshe Velvel doing jitsu in the picture on this site. Perhaps a silhouette of AK mountain climbing would be nicer.

If this site wishes to remain relevant you must put up a new post

Why no one uses Vaad Hadayonim

7/6/2014 11:58:22 am

Finkel looks for young Amatuers for Dayanim so that they will be dependent on him for their Money Prestige and Position and will not argue with him, R' Gavriel Finkel would never take a Dayan of the age or Caliber of Rabbi Yehoshua Krupenia , Rabbi Dovi Kahn or Rabbi zafrani because they would not put up wit any of Finkels Shtick,,
Birnbaum and Gutman will do whatever Finkel will ask them to do regardless if it is right or wrong or Yosher, they are there to please and Kiss up to Finkel whom they are dependent on

What makes Avrohom Gutman qualified to officiate as a Dayan on Vaad Hadayonim ?
Avrohom Gutman is an Alef Bais Rebbe in Lakewoods boys cheder school Bais Hatorah Kindergarden and Pre-1-A. His job at vaad hadayonim was to be a secretary, how did he suddenly get promoted to being a Dayan ?
