Over 75 people showed up for a Halacha seminar in Lakewood this week, specifically geared for those in the construction industry.
The seminar, which was organized and arranged by the Central Jersey Association of Builders (CJAB), follows a similar event held earlier this year, which demonstrated the crucial need for
Rabbi Dov Kahan, Av Beis Din of Beis Din Maysharim, gave the Shiur and answered multiple questions and discussed various scenarios that crop up.
“The event was an absolute success,” one participant, Yanky Friedlander of Turquoise Builders, told TLS.
“It was a great atmosphere, with an exceptional feeling of Achdus, with so many competitors gathering together simply so they can make sure they are being as honest as possible,” he added.
Was any mention made of rising prices? Pricing pple out of Lakewood??? These are key questions probably never mentioned. Sucking people for more $$$ than ever imagined is מותר in this town. Just line everyone’s pockets and you’re good to go. Probably discussed how you could get away with things customers were promised.
How about discussing a smart growth plan (sustainable infrastructure and development) as the community expands in NJ and across the US?
Contractors don’t sell houses they just build them
Did the 2 minutes guy come?
I think it’s a nice thing to see many competitors in the same industry coming together for a joint shiur. To see them unite for Torah.
Thank you to Mike from Method Construction NJ for representing us! We hope to make it to the next fabulous shuir!
Your NYC co-workers!
Might want to discuss , the issue of building one window across another where you can see into someone’s elses house. This is according to many opinions a issur deoraysa. And not subject to mechilla. So even if both homeowners agree it’s still not allowed

Sorry but I don’t make the rules, or have any pull….. Blinds don’t work since you can still peek……. Frosted windows might be different
And why put a window when you can’t ever open it???
For outsiders looking in.
So much to discuss with this industry…. ask any local Choshen Mishapat Rov it’s mind blowing what has become the norm in this industry.
sad state of affairs.
Huh
What are window shades & blinds for?
