After the fall out with President Trump Ami White-house correspondent Jake Turx speaks to Israel website BHOL. He said the president misunderstood the question and did not let him finish. The question about the rise of over 50 anti Semitic incidents since Trump took office is concerning to the Jewish community in the USA. Colleagues told turn he is now an official WH reporter after the president called him a liar. Turx said he's not worried of getting distanced as a reporter and doubled down that he will seek clarification from the press secretary "I was treated unfairly"

The billboard resolution for Lakewood township was taken off the table for now. Residents spoke up about the dangers of digital billboards and pointed to many studies that show an increase of traffic accidents and even death in areas were billboards are placed.On a spiritual side there is a larger issue and that is the content displayed on the billboards. How do we guarantee that there will be no times square type of ads displayed on these boards. The township when they initially granted the permits they gave only one vendor the rights to own digital billboards, no one else in Lakewood will be granted a permit to have a digital billboard on public property. Well there are many scenarios that can play out were others can control these boards. There is no guarantee that the company who does in fact own the billboards wont be bought out or if they foreclose and the boards are sold to a bank, who than has control over the content? Why do something and put us in a position that can potentially cause serious problems? as they say prevention is key, use your seichel and dont go there in the first place. B"H for now it was shelved and lets hope it stays that way.

TRENTON – An online children's clothing retailer has agreed to drop its policy of not offering refunds for orders originating in Lakewood, the state attorney general's office said Thursday.
Shan and Toad, which appears to be based in Riverside, California, based on its contact telephone number, agreed to drop its policy of only offering store credit or merchandise exchange to shoppers from Lakewood and Passaic, two communities that contain large populations of Orthodox Jews, Attorney General Christopher S. Porrino announced.
Its return policy previously provided refunds; its new policy provides only for store credit, and returns must be authorized by email from the company. "Items must be in brand new condition, with original tags attached. After receiving a return number, you may ship the items back to us, shipping costs on your behalf. A $5 restocking fee and the cost of shipping will be deducted from the credit amount. The return must be sent back within 7 days of receipt. We are not responsible for any returns that are lost or damaged in delivery. If we identify an unreasonable return pattern, we may restrict or refuse future transactions and returns from such customers at shanandtoad.com."
Porrino said Shan and Toad agreed to drop its exclusion of Lakewood and Passaic buyers from refund eligibility after two agencies within the Attorney General’s Office – the Division on Civil Rights and the Division of Consumer Affairs – contacted the retailer to advise that it appeared to be in violation of state anti-discrimination and consumer protection laws.
Under the settlement, Shan and Toad has permanently eliminated the old policy of not offering refunds to buyers from Lakewood and Passaic, and agreed to develop and publicize a revised return policy.
The new policy, according to an Assurance of Voluntary Compliance (AVC) agreement signed recently by the company, must avoid any imposition of “more restrictive conditions” on certain customers because of where they live if it has the “effect of discriminating based on any protected class … such as religion.”
“This settlement sends a clear message to online and mail-order sellers that red-lining – i.e., treating customers from certain areas less favorably based simply on their address — is not acceptable in New Jersey when it has the effect of discriminating against people based on their faith or any other protected category,” Porrino said.

Hamodia.com reports on “A Day Without Immigrants” in Lakewood
LAKEWOOD - As immigrants across America stayed home from work and rallied in protest of the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal migration to the United States, Jewish institutions and businesses in Lakewood, nearly all of which employ members of the town’s large Mexican community, found themselves caught in the highly charged political debate. Effects were highly varied, but none escaped without at least a discussion of what workers would do on what organizers billed as a “day without immigrants.”
At Yussi’s deli and take-out on Second Street, a manager said that all of his employees showed up for work in the morning, but asked if they could take off for an hour or two to attend the rally being held nearby. He added that the workers’ absence did cause a certain amount of strain on operations, given that Thursday is a particularly busy day for the popular take-out shop’s pre-Shabbos business, but permission was granted nevertheless. “They asked very nicely and we said they could go. I respect what they’re doing, they’re not being violent or anything, they’re just worried,” he said.
At the Heimish Bakery, which also operates a café, next door on Second Street, a lone Jewish employee was too overwhelmed to speak to Hamodia, a sign of the protest’s effects. She told a disappointed customer that she could not give him the fried onions he had asked for with his order as none of the kitchen staff were present.
Shraga Weber, who operates a carpet cleaning business, said that all five of his crew told him that morning they were not coming to work for the day.
“There wasn’t much I could do about it; we’ll have to catch up tomorrow,” he said. “I think this will blow over, but if they really start not letting in immigrants it will be a problem for us 10 years down the road, because that’s how we get workers. I had my business before the Mexicans came to Lakewood, and I couldn’t get anyone steady. They’ve been very good and dependable.”
At NPGS, one of Lakewood’s largest supermarkets, the full staff was on hand and working on the busy shopping day, but not from lack of effort, by the staff manager, Ahmed.
“I spoke to them all yesterday and said, ‘Tomorrow is Thursday and we all need to be here,’” he said. “We have a wonderful team, we treat them with respect and they’re very loyal. When I need them here at two in the morning, they’re here then also.”
At Corner of Second, a small grocery, Chaim Kramer, who was behind the register, said that all of his store’s employees were present.
“They understand that if they don’t show up, they won’t get paid, so they’re all here,” he said.
David Mizrachi of Eat a Pita said that he discussed the issue with his workers on Wednesday and that his staff was very amendable to coming in.
“It’s very simple, if you’re loyal to them, they’re loyal to you,” he said.
Lakewood’s large Hispanic community held a rally in the town square on Clifton Avenue. Speakers addressed the crowd of several hundred participants in Spanish. Protesters waived flags and paraphernalia from Mexico as well as Colombia and other South and Central American countries.
One protester said that his boss was understanding of his decision to take off from his job in construction for the day. He said he was participating because “they want to deport millions of my friends.”
Oded Ramos, who also works in construction, said that his manager had not been as understanding.
“He said, ‘If you go, the others will go and I can fire them.’ I told him, ‘It’s not my problem what they do.” He said. “I’ve been here 14 years, I pay taxes, this is my country.”
The event lasted for several hours, but the crowd dwindled as afternoon approached.
Among the hardest hit, was Lakewood’s flagship, Bais Medrash Govoha, which employs a huge staff of almost entirely Mexican immigrants. Rabbi Moshe Gleiberman, vice president of administration, said that more than half of the staff did not report for work Thursday morning. Despite the large-scale absence, he said that the yeshivah continued to function as usual.
“Baruch Hashem, the ship is running smoothly,” he said. “We have a good staff and at times like this everybody pitches in a little extra.”A representative of Ichud Hamosdos, an organization of Lakewood’s chinuch institutions, said that, while some schools had been affected, most staffs were at or close to full attendance.

Now the New York Times joined the Turz bandwagonNYT- A Jewish Reporter Got to Ask Trump a Question. It Didn’t Go Well. Jake Turx is a newly minted White House correspondent for a publication that has never before had a seat in the White House press corps: Ami Magazine, an Orthodox Jewish weekly based in Brooklyn. He is a singular presence in the briefing room: a young Hasidic Jew with side curls tucked behind his ears and a skullcap embroidered with his Twitter handle. at a news conference on Thursday, saying he was looking for a “friendly reporter,” Mr. Turx was prepared. He had spent an hour crafting a question about a recent surge of anti-Semitism, with a preamble that he hoped would convey his supportive disposition toward Mr. Trump.
But the exchange did not go the way he expected. A few hours later, with the clip replaying on social media and Jewish groups issuing news releases, Mr. Turx, 30, was still reeling. He said in a telephone interview, “Regretfully, today was a day I wish we could have done over.”
His editor, Rabbi Yitzchok Frankfurter, watched aghast from the magazine’s offices as his young correspondent received a tongue-lashing from the president: “It was a very disheartening moment for us, to watch him being berated.”The exchange began with Mr. Turx standing up from his third-row seat and gesturing slightly toward his fellow reporters:
“Despite what some of my colleagues may have been reporting, I haven’t seen anybody in my community accuse either yourself or anyone on your staff of being anti-Semitic. We understand that you have Jewish grandchildren. You are their zayde,” which is Yiddish for “grandfather” and often a word of great affection.
At that Mr. Trump nodded slightly, and said, “thank you.”
“However,” Mr. Turx continued, “what we are concerned about and what we haven’t really heard being addressed is an uptick in anti-Semitism and how the government is planning to take care of it. There’s been a report out that 48 bomb threats have been made against Jewish centers all across the country in the last couple of weeks. There are people committing anti-Semitic acts or threatening to——”
At that, Mr. Trump interrupted, saying it was “not a fair question.”
“Sit down,” the president commanded. “I understand the rest of your question.”
As Mr. Turx took his seat, Mr. Trump said, “So here’s the story, folks. No. 1, I am the least anti-Semitic person that you’ve ever seen in your entire life. No. 2, racism, the least racist person.”
Mr. Turx tried to interject, realizing how the encounter had turned. He said he had wanted to clarify that he in no way meant to accuse Mr. Trump of anti-Semitism but instead intended to ask what his administration could do to stop the anti-Semitic incidents.
But Mr. Trump would not let him speak again, saying, “Quiet, quiet, quiet.” As Mr. Turx shook his head with an incredulous look on his face, Mr. Trump accused him of having lied that his question would be straight and simple.
Mr. Trump said, “I find it repulsive. I hate even the question because people that know me. …”
He went on to say that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, during his visit to the United States on Wednesday, had vouched for Mr. Trump as a good friend of Israel and the Jewish people and no anti-Semite.
Mr. Trump concluded that Mr. Turx should have relied on Mr. Netanyahu’s endorsement, “instead of having to get up and ask a very insulting question like that.”
“Just shows you about the press, but that’s the way the press is,” Mr. Trump said.
At the news conference, Mr. Turx was referring to a rash of incidents that have shaken many American Jews since Mr. Trump was elected. On three separate days in January, Jewish synagogues, community centers and schools across the country received what seemed to be a coordinated wave of telephone bomb threats that led to evacuations and F.B.I. investigations. Other Jewish institutions have seen an uptick in vandalism and graffiti in the last few months.
It was the second time in two days that Mr. Trump was asked to denounce anti-Semitism and offer American Jews a dose of reassurance. In his joint news conference with Mr. Netanyahu, Mr. Trump responded to a question about anti-Semitism by breezily recounting the size of his Electoral College victory and then reminding the reporters that his daughter, Ivanka, his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and their three children — Mr. Trump’s grandchildren — are all Jewish.
The Anti-Defamation League issued a statement on Thursday that said, “It is mind-boggling why President Trump prefers to shout down a reporter or brush this off as a political distraction.”
David Harris, chief executive of the American Jewish Committee, said, “Respectfully, Mr. President, please use your bully pulpit not to bully reporters asking questions potentially affecting millions of fellow Americans, but rather to help solve a problem that, for many, is real and menacing.”
Surveys show that Mr. Trump was not the choice of the majority of American Jews, who tend to vote for Democrats and came out in force for Hillary Clinton. Many Jews have been critical of Mr. Trump for not more forcefully denouncing anti-Semites and racists like David Duke, a former leader of the Ku Klux Klan who endorsed Mr. Trump during the campaign. Many Jewish leaders are also wary of Stephen K. Bannon, Mr. Trump’s White House strategist, because of the close affinity between Breitbart News, which he once ran, and the white supremacists in the movement known as the alt-right.
But Mr. Trump was popular among many Orthodox Jews. They were reassured to see the Orthodox Jews in his family and attracted to his hawkish line on Israel, his support of vouchers for religious schools and his promise to ban Muslim immigrants from entering the country.
Rechy Frankfurter and her husband, Rabbi Frankfurter, founded Ami Magazine more than six years ago to serve a conservative Jewish audience. It circulates in the United States, Canada, Europe and Australia and is one of several English-language news publications serving the ultra-Orthodox community. Ami Magazine comes out weekly and has three sister publications: one for women, one for teens and a cooking magazine called Whisk.
The magazine interviewed Mr. Trump before he declared he was running for president and did so again during the campaign.
“We didn’t do a political endorsement of him, but I really wanted the president to be elected, and I do want him to succeed,” said Rabbi Frankfurter, the editor in chief.
Mrs. Frankfurter, the magazine’s senior editor, said it was clear that Mr. Trump was not an anti-Semite and that Mr. Trump “must have misheard the question” from the magazine’s reporter. “The president is very sensitive to such an accusation, and we find the fact that he’s sensitive to it reassuring,” she said, because it means he understands how awful it is to be thought of as an anti-Semite.
Rabbi Frankfurter, whose parents survived the Holocaust, said, “Perhaps the president should speak out more vigorously than he has. He’s got a bully pulpit, and he should use it for good reasons.” Read more at NYT
