WHAT IS WITH OUR TOWN??
WHAT MESSAGE SHOULD WE TAKE?????
To daven for rain so there fires breaking out all over NJ should stop
Stop voting Republican. That’s the message.
ummmmmm…..
Where did that come from???
Good one 🤣🤣🤣🤣
We need a DOGE for lakewood!!!
We definitely need rain .
We need mora kavana mashiv haruach umorid hagoshem
geshem Thank you very much
Just wait till December 4th comes, then it’ll really start to pour!
Keep the bachurim under better supervision, no need for them to have matches & lighters…
No need to be motzi la’az, there are drought conditions and forest fires in other parts of NJ too.
Lowlife. Whi du think u are. Sick puppy
So I guess you didn’t post my comment because your wives are all still wearing human hair wigs…
We could keep pretending it’s not a major issue (which it is)
But Hashem is really trying to wake us up – it’s directly stated in shema- worship idols and there will be no rain…
It’s not like I’m stating it, great roshei yeshivas wrote and signed this letter
And too many people are ignoring the fact that they are literally wearing tikrovas AZ on their heads
How could this not anger Hashem…
Hi, Rav Belsky zt”l was matir wearing human hair wigs on the basis that it’s not Avodas Zara. Anyone who knows Rav Belsky knows that he looked into it thoroughly, and if he said it’s okay, then you can rely on his psak.
Everyone though should follow their own daas Torah.
U need help!!!!!!!!!!°°°
we need to knock down the trees and build more
I hope that is pure sarcasm, to many trees are gone already , if it keeps up we will have to rename this town to just Lake as there will be no more wood !
Does anyone know where the fire is located as of 8:15pm
In Lakewood, DUH…
Keep Chaim under better SUPERVISION don’t always blame the bachurim you wore also a bachur once
💯
mamash not shayich
Thanks to many fire companies from throughout Ocean County who answered the call to assist Lakewood and the NJ State Forest Fire Service in controlling this fire.
A special yasher koach to Aisle 9, Jackson, for a very generous donation of baked goods to help the firefighters working for hours during this emergency.
Chaim
Wow, the real hate over here. You think that all forest fire start from boys having fun come on this is an act of Hashem.
Wow.
And thank you Commissioner for your dedication and hard work.
It is greatly appreciated!
Thank you to all our brave firefighter heroes!
Any advisory about walking outside today for leisure.
First of all, pleasure is a shtus.
Second, if u mamush can’t handle not going on your “leasure” walk, I’m sure you have a hallway in your house…
God bless the firefighters from Jackson. Who started the fire????I hope police find out, they will…I hope the golf course will be fine. Amazing g there is still trees in Lakewood.
To those posting comments here ,can you read what you are going to share here on the scoop before you post it , to be honest I really cant understand how many of these comments have anything to do with the fires in Lakewood , the fact we are in a drought situation is the biggest problem !!!!
