Today 5 Adar marks the first Yartzheit of R' Yaakov Yitzchok Stern a"h. He was niftar suddenly at the young age of 37 years old, but in his short life he was an accomplished Talmid Chochom. He was a beloved friend to many, a  Ben Aliya and yorei Shomayim whose avodas Hashem was pure and heartfelt, and who, together with his wife, was raising his children b’derech Yisroel saba.
  The mishpacha and friends held a Siyum Hashas and Yartzheit seuda last night לעילוי נשמתו. 
Below is a Hesped by the Admor M' Santov Lakewood where R' Yaakov Yitzchok would daven on shabbos.

Howell PD Make Arrest in Lakewood

HOWELL, NJ (Patch)— Howell Township police said they have arrested a person following a car chase that ended in Lakewood on Tuesday afternoon.
Police released few details in a Facebook post shortly before 2 p.m., saying only that the person was a 43-year-old Newark resident.

The person was being taken to police headquarters and more information will be released later, Howell police said.



The Lakewood Scoop reported two people were arrested; one was a man who was the initial person Howell police were following, and the second was a woman who reportedly picked up the man after he abandoned his car and ran, the report said.

Information was not immediately released on where the chase began or what prompted police to follow the man.

Camps close Registration While Kids Still have No School for Next Year

$

Mid February, the local summer camps are in full registration mode for the summer of 2018. Some camps already closed registration and there are no slots left. The local papers came out with their camp sections forcing all camps to open registration. Another pressure parents must face rushing to sign up their children before registration is full. The system of competing and chapping before yenem continues to plague us. What is more sad though is that many children are still not accepted into a school for the upcoming year. How do these parents feel waiting daily for answers or hoping to get in somewhere while their neighbor is already enrolled in day camp. Yes camps need time to plan but it should not be before the school registration is complete with every child having a school to go to. 
Camps should open registration after Pesach.

Lakewood tops List of Towns where People spend Most Income on Rent

$

In a list of 25 Towns in NJ, Lakewood in Ocean County is number 1 where 12,241 renter households spend 43.3% of their income on rent.

 NJ Advance Media analyzed U.S. Census data to determine in which New Jersey towns renters spend the largest percentage of their household income on rent, or where the rent burden is highest.

 “In New Jersey, residents spend a median of 31.8 percent of their household income on rent, the seventh highest in the nation.” This does not mean that rents are higher in these towns than other places.  The list of 25 towns is made up of towns where the rent is high and renter households do not make enough income to have more than 65% of their income left over to pay for necessities and other important expenses.

The top five towns in New Jersey where renters spend the highest percentage of their income on rent are:


Lakewood in Ocean County where 12,241 renter households spend 43.3% of their income on rent
Roselle in Union County where 3,881 renter households spend 41.6% of their income on rent
New Brunswick in Middlesex County where 11,624 renter households spend 40.4% of their income on rent
Passaic in Passaic County where 14,843 renter households spend 40% of their income on rent
Paterson in Passaic County where 32,284 renter households spend 39.5% of their income on rent

Jackson Leaks: A social media controversy over a speed bus was flipped on its head by new video evidence.

Jackson Leaks: Two Sides Every Story


A recent video on Facebook sought to bring attention to a speeding bus on Villanova Drive and shows the vehicle swerving in the direction of the camera while driving past. The poster alleged that the driver had intentionally changed course towards him as a means of intimidation. A followup showed the driver receiving a ticket the next day for speeding.

This seemed like the end of the story, until the Lakewood Scoop shed new light on the incident with a post containing dash-cam videos from the bus company. This new video shows that in addition to the original poster standing behind a tree on the side of the street, there is a second person, unseen in the original video, blocking part of the street. The bus was actually forced towards the curb (and the camera) to move away from this person in the street. It almost seems like a set-up designed to capture the original video.

Below are two police reports associated with this incident:
 
 The police were called to Villanova Drive around 3:00 PM on 2/15, the day after the first video, where a number of residents claimed that a speed bus had swerved towards them, a claim which would seem to be contradicted by the dash-cam video. The officer then stayed in the area, giving a citation to the driver when he passed later.

Amalek Kugel for Shabbos Parshas Zachor

$
0
0
Amalek’s Kugel is an acronym for four kugels which together form the word Amalek.

A for apple or epel (the ayin)

M for Mehl, or Flour (the mem)

L for lukshen or noodles (the lamed)

K for kartofel(potatoes) the kuf.


In Europe and in other places Chassidim serve these four kugels on the Shabbos when Parshas Zachor is read and then they eat them thereby symbolically annihilating Amalek by eating him all up.
