Lakewood Residents: Keep Your Radio On For Shabbos


Rav Yaakov Forscheimer To Lakewood Officials: Residents May Keep Radio On During Shabbos
Posek Harav Yaakov Forscheimer Shlita was contacted in regards to keeping a radio on for this Shabbos. It was Paskened, that Lakewood residents may keep a radio on, on station 107.9 for the duration of Shabbos, out of the reach of family members.
The station 107.9 will remain silent from Licht Benchen (Candle Lighting) until 72 minutes after Shkiah on Shabbos, and will only be active should there be any emergency alerts to announce.
Officials say they do not expect the Hurricane to hit on Shabbos.

Lakewood Bais Din Disbands & Refuses To Deal With Alleged Molester!

Yosef Kolko, Alleged Molester
Our Rabbonim keep telling us not to go to the courts, but rather to go to Bais Din.
Here see a case where a father of a molested boy did the "right thing" and went to Bais Din,  but Bais Din refused to deal with it. When the father realized that the Bais Din would do nothing, he went to the Police. He was then subjected to tremendous Community and Rabbinical pressure to withdraw the complaint and had to move his family from the "Holy" city of Lakewood. This and other similiar stories are causing a tremendous dilemma and an inevitable rift between Torah True Jews and their Rabbonim. The "Baalie Batim" are turning away in droves from their leaders and turning to the blogs for relief. If the Rabbonim do not  act swiftly against molesters, they will lose all respect which will eventually hurt the integrity of all Roshei Yeshivos'.
It may already be too late!
