This story out of Toms River is simply unbelievable. A group of rabbanim are upset that teenagers are hanging out at Smash House, a kosher restaurant.
I know these rabbanim personally, and until now I had tremendous respect for them — but this is sheer madness.
Where exactly do they expect these kids to go? Would they prefer the teens hang out in treif places instead?
And if the concern is that their own children might be influenced, there are literally hundreds of other kosher restaurants in Lakewood where they can take their kids. No one is forcing them to go to Smash House.
I can’t help but wonder: If it were their own children or grandchildren, would these rabbanim still think it’s better for teens to end up in non‑kosher environments rather than in a supervised, kosher restaurant?
