I understand the need for space for this shul, but these trailers at the opening to West Gate are just another eye sore to an already unkept neighborhood.

As a resident that lives right outside westgate and comes shopping by the Plaza.What a horrible place to put the trailers it looks disgusting.
Why cant they put in a back corner.There is so much open space,that is not built up.What does the builder think of this eye sore by the enterance of Westgate.I guess he doesnt want to sell anymore houses.

The new rabbi, Rav Benzion Halberstam Is a very chashuva person, a big talmid chacham and ehrliche yid. We are lucky to have him in Westgate. Let’s wish him hatzlacha rabba

it’s amazing that they can put such a ugly trailer there and gcu can’t build on there own property , there is something very wrong with this town, all of westgate should be cleaned it’s such a mess in there, and yet when you look at the area around gcu it’s clean and nice.

Bruchim Haboim to Rabbi Halberstam Shlita, a true asset to Lakewood, and Mazal Tov to the new temporary shul accomodation. Hatzlacha rabba.

Rabbosai, intead of comlaining about the trailers, you are all b’nei torah why don’t you think about the kehilla of erliche yungerleit who are trying to grow and build their shul and don’t yet have the means for a better building. If you would find out about this kehlla and about the Rav, then instead of critcising you would be donating money for them to build a beautiful shul.

As a resident of Westgate I can honestly say that while I happy that a kehilla of erliche yungerleit will have a temporary shul, I find it hard to understand why it had to be placed in such a noticeable location. The trailers were put at the entrance of the neighborhood and are a true eyesore to all those who live here. Those of us who own homes here are upset that we were not consulted.
