  1. 123 stands for fiscal responsibility and open competitive bidding – in other words proper management of BOE funds. They have made that clear. What does 456 stand for?

  2. Got his call. Had some questions. Called the number 732-364-1111. He picked-up himself, and answered all my concerns. As a parent with children who were suddenly dropped from PT/OT, i urge you to vote for Rabbi Hertz’s endorsed candidates. If you have any concerns, do what I did. Just call rabbi Hertz to get the facts.

  3. who said Rabbi Hertz’s facts are facts. maybe they are opinions. I would like to vote for 123 but i don’t know anything about 4,5,6. Why should i vote for 4,5,6 just because i am told to do it without a reason. I don’t have blind trust – EVERYONE has negios. Can anyone come forth with some reasons to vot 4,5,6???

  4. Lower numbers (1-2-3) = Lower Taxes. Higher numbers (4-5-6) = Higher Taxes. Easy to remember.
    Also, vote NO on the Budget Question. There’s still more fat to trim.

  5. “who said Rabbi Hertz’s facts are facts”?
    Read the campaign materials. Not hard to figure it out.
    It’s all there in Black and White, dates, events, facts, figures, documented.

    4-5-6 NADA.

    All you need to do is to LOOK.

  6. just voted 123 simply because they explained the positions and showed respect for the voter by telling us what the issues at hand are. 456 maybe good candidates too but just a letter from Roshei mosdos with out any explanation is not enough. people should be treated with respect not takin for granted as little kids who just follow orders.

  7. We trust Rabbi Hertz who has done a great job with fighting for all our children throughout the latest decades, why should we not follow his recommendations now?

    It’s going to be close so, please, VOTE for the candidates 1A, 2A, 3A that have given us enough information to know why we are to trust their judgement. PERIOD ! Sof posuk.

  8. Vote 1-2-3 since they are not beholden to anyone and want to do the right thing for all the children. They believe in keeping an eye out for unneeded exppenses and have alligned themselves with those that have lowered tthe school t axesover the past two years instead of the crazy school taxes of the previous 6-7 years. we should never go back to the free wheeling days of rediculous tax increases of the past..

  9. Perhaps the Roshei Mosdos aren’t explaining why because they know something you don’t. Perhaps not everything can be written in black and white in the public sphere? People use your seichel, if the vast majority of Roshei Mosdos say this is better for our kids, maybe they know something. Do you really think everything can be printed or that outsiders know better? Do you really think that people are just pocketing money? Schools hardly get by with the tuition at its low. Would you like to start paying more every month and save MAYBE a few hundred a year on your property taxes?

  10. Vote 4,5 and 6 because they aren’t in it for themselves. That is why you dont see them all over and here the noise they make. They are in it for the betterment of the klal!
    And Meir Singer is a tru oved hashem and a big tzaddik. I know of a family he helps shtileh heyt for years now. Not just financially but with all their specific and unique needs and nobody knows about it (I happened to know because i was somehow envolved in one of his advocacy mission for this family). If he is involved thats all i need to know. He never puts himself first and always does things bederech hayushur!

    Vote 4,5&6!

  11. This election is vital for our community, we need a board that someone has a power over 456 is what I did I believe everyone has but some must answer in this world

    God bless america

  12. I am still waiting for the VVAd to explain why 456. Whatever happened to all the hakoras hatov for an incumbent? Silver has been moser nefesh for this and where is all the hakoras hatov?

  13. I understand the importance of the election and how it will affect everyone, yada, yada, yada, BUT………….. enough phone calls!!!!!!!!! I received 4 phone calls (that i was home for) just this afternoon. I think it’s a just a tiny bit annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!

  14. meir grunhut has done a tremendous amount for the klal.
    when we had a big issue he was the only one who cared to help- and went above and beyond his duty to make sure everything was ok

  15. I agree! 4 phone calls? I got 3 yesterday and 6, yes, SIX today. I do have other things to do than run for these phone calls. If I am on the ‘do not call’ list are they allowed to call me? Is there a do not call list for non-profits because I don’t give money over the phone and I’ve had it with the unlimited number of automated calls I get. It’s out of control!

  16. again I will try to post my oppinion here without it censored by the moderator by not posting my statement,we have to have true representaion of the students in the public schools and the ony way for that to happen is to have a BOE that actually has a makeup of members who have children in the public school sysytem .Now if you find that offensive I’m truely sorry that you cannot see both sides to this issue

  17. Voting for 123 as per the LAC is like voting for obama , a bunch of lipsinking to get your vote then blaming everyone else for their mistakes.

  18. Has anyone heard 1 word from candidate Singer ?Does anyone even know what he looks like ? Why do they expect us to just vote blindly because they say so ?A little more respect please

  19. To An askin that knows:

    Ok. I trust you.

    Who are you? I know An askin that knows different than you. This is like K’atzon L’Tevach Yuval! The blind following the blind!

    If you know the issues, what each candidate stands for, then vote after you have made a decision based upon your own
    Sechel! “Trust me; I know” Wow! Can you be my leader, tatty?

  20. How can any person vote for someone that never made a statement or appearance??
    Is this Mr Singer a fictitious character?

    Or do you simply vote for someone because others tell you to?

  23. I am the family that the last commenter was referring too. Meir singer has been so instrumental in helping my family out for so long. I didn’t know him personally but he came to me through a friend and has been in my corner ever since. I can’t begin to say how amazing of a human being he is always thinking how he can do more for others. Not just me. I know personally that he is constantly busy with helping other underprivileged families. I only hope that he can have the opportunity to help others in the future the way he has for me.

  24. I am the family the last commenter was referring to.Meir singer has done more for my family that I could ever repay him for. He only looks to help. I only hope that he has the opportunity to help others the way he has helped my family. Thank you Meir singer

  25. Lakewood – I am so proud of you tonight. You voted with your brains, not your emotions.

    If the entire country votes this way in November, Obama will be history.

    GO 123

  26. I am sure Meir Singer is a fine individual but when you run for public office youa re expected to acknowledge teh public and respon din kind. he didn’t even play the game with a statement or picture.

  27. Just to clarify.
    The Igud never said that 1, 2, & 3 are BAD, just that they felt, combined with past experience, that 4, 5, & 6 can justly serve the Kehilla’s needs. #’s 1, 2, & 3 are NOT anti – Mosdos, nor are the Mosdos (to the best of my knowledge) against them personally. I say lets approach them with an open mind and see if their votes reflect our needs and the needs of ALL Lakewood children and parents.

    As an aside – the BOE is too important to be a once a year issue. We need to stay informed, educated (PTP) and engaged year round. Waking up at the last minute and trying to cram the issues into our brains in one day is as bad an idea as it sounds.

  28. it seems like the board president is always voted out…last time ostriecher
    how do they choose pres and what power does he have over rest of board?

  29. This will hopefully be a “Shot heard ’round the world”.

    Time to take the oilum seriously. Wake up guys, before it’s too late!

  30. Congratulations Jonathon Silver, Lee Mund, and Joel Schwartz. This is an amazing victory for all Lakewood residents. God bless you and our best wishes go with you. Make us proud of you.

  31. The BOE is too important to be a once-a-year issue. We need to stay informed, educated (PTP) and engaged year round. Waking up at the last minute and trying to cram the issues into our brains in one day is as bad an idea as it sounds.

  32. Well I glad to be part of this historical moment!!
    Well I guess the people voted for the ones who they wanted may this teach us a big big lesson! MEZEL TOV! Winners do let’s get to work
