Starting this past motzei Shabbos 8th grade boys in Lakewood began taking farhers for Mesivta. There are Ka"h 37 mesivtos in town and some of them have over 250 applications for 9th grade. Most bochurim applied to at least 3 mesivtos hoping to get accepted to one of their choosing. Like always there is a group of the 3 or 5 mostly sought after yeshivas but it's hard to get into others too. Other's also apply for out of town mesivtos.
Hatzlacha to all the boys on their bechinos may they continue shteiging wherever they get in.

Perhaps Vine street could have been open 10 years ago. In a letter obtained through OPRA by First Amendment activist, the NJDOT gave a 1 million dollar grant for the Kettle creek and Vine street access project in Lakewood. The township asked the state to use the funds instead for infrastructure improvements associated with CDC.

Matzav- It is with great sadness that Matzav.com reports the passing of Ruchama Malka (Malkie) Hirth a”h. She was just seven years old.
Ruchama Malka was a daughter of Rabbi and Mrs. Shmuel Fishel and Shainy Hirth of Lakewood and a granddaughter of Rav Mordechai Hirth (Brooklyn) and lhbcl”c Rav Abba Gorelick zt”l, rosh yeshiva of Yeshiva Gedola Zichron Moshe of South Fallsburg, NY.Her father, Rav Shmuel, is the rosh yeshiva of Yeshiva Nefesh Hachaim of Lakewood, NJ.
Malkie battled leukemia for the last five years of her life. A most special neshamah, at the young age of 7 she taught others by example how to live – how to really live – a life of emunah.
Malkie, in a recording that was widely disseminated, told Klal Yisroel, “The gates of tears are never closed,” urging them to keep up their tefillos and tears on her behalf.
Thousands of Yidden all over the globe davened for years for Ruchama Malka Breindel bas Shaina Shifra, whose neshamah ascended to Shomayim overnight, pure and unsullied, beautified by the wonderful middos and kindness of this one-of-a-kind child, who inspired anyone who was fortunate to meet her.
The levayah will tentatively be held at Yeshiva Nefesh Hachaim of Lakewood. Further details will be provided once they are finalized. The aron will then be flown to Eretz Yisroel for kevurah there.
May Malkie be a melitzas yosher for her family, and may all the tefillos, mitzvos and chassodim done as a zechus for her serve as an aliyah for her neshamah.

This was printed in the APP in 2005 at the time there were plans to bring a Hockey arena in addition to the baseball stadium a lot has changed since. At one point Cedarbridge offered to return a parcel back to the township for the arena.
APP-"The township is in serious negotiations with the New Jersey Devils to build an arena costing $40 million to $50 million within walking distance of FirstEnergy Park that would be the new home of the franchise's minor-league affiliate.Such a deal under quiet discussion since the spring but first confirmed by those involved Thursday would move the team into a 7,000-seat arena to be built opposite the parking lot of FirstEnergy, home of the Lakewood BlueClaws, an affiliate of baseball's Philadelphia Phillies.The arena would host 40 hockey games a season and could be a partner with the Devils' $310 million home under construction in Newark. Because the Devils would operate both venues, any concert, circus or entertainment event held in Newark could also be held in Lakewood, said Sen. Robert W. Singer, R-Ocean, who is helping negotiate the deal.Singer is "hoping within the next 30 days we have a signed agreement," although Devils co-owner Jeff Vanderbeek described the talks as "preliminary discussions."Vanderbeek added he will "very, very seriously consider" any written proposal.Still, local negotiators see the deal as a spark plug for millions of dollars in tax ratables for Lakewood and a chance for the Devils to solidify their fan base by shuttling the minor-league River Rats from their current home in Albany, N.Y., to the Jersey Shore.More important, those advocates say, the arena also would bring mainstream concerts, hockey tournaments and national circus tours to Ocean County creating a new tourism draw for a seaside county known already known for its beaches."The opportunities are endless," Singer said.Before hockey fans start sharpening their skates, though, the ambitious plan has several major obstacles.First, Lakewood no longer has development rights to the 7 acres on which it would build the stadium. That land is under contract to ( Govoha's) Cedarbridge Development Corp., which has a deal in place with the township to create a high-tech office park next to the BlueClaws' ballpark at Cedar Bridge and New Hampshire avenues.Second, the township has to figure out how to pay up to a $50 million price tag, which is roughly double what it cost to build the baseball stadium.All hurdles aside, Ralph Zucker, a township-based developer, sees news of a hockey arena as a chance to create a town center in Lakewood. The baseball stadium and the new arena combined would serve, in his mind, as the anchors of a "lifestyle center" that would include more than 750 homes and apartments, a movie theater, a youth baseball complex, a hotel, 1.2 million square feet of office space and six "big box" retail stores.Zucker's plan drew raves from elected officials when he pitched it last fall, but he was told the Cedarbridge agreement which he has no part of could not be changed.Now, township officials are looking into what changes can be made."I'm telling you one of the things that excites (the Devils) is the mixed-use component," Zucker said. "What Lakewood and Ocean County will get out of this is multiplied tremendously if we get more than an arena."The first thing Lakewood needs to move forward with the plan is an agreement with Cedarbridge to relinquish rights to the 7 acres the arena would sit on, said Township Committeeman Raymond G. Coles.The agreement to build a 1.5 million-square-foot office park and an age-restricted housing development on 240 acres adjacent to FirstEnergy has long been touted by township officials as a way to bring high-paying jobs to Lakewood, even while some residents have consistently criticized it as a land giveaway.Jack Mueller, who runs Cedarbridge, could not be reached for comment Thursday, but Lawrence Bathgate II, a lawyer with an office in Lakewood who brought the Devils and Singer together and is helping broker the deal said Mueller is amenable to returning the land to the township.Officials would not comment on what Mueller would get in exchange, but Singer said he hopes to work out a deal with Cedarbridge in the next 30 days."We sat down with Cedarbridge," Bathgate said. "They will release the seven acres. It's not a done deal, but directionally, everybody's striving to get it done."Singer said the township could solve its second problem paying for the construction by getting the land designated as a Revenue Allocation District, a little-known distinction that allows the district's tax revenue to be used to pay off the bonds."I've been told how we can do it," Coles said. "I haven't gotten anything in writing yet as to how it's worked in other places."Coles isn't the only one short on information...
