Video: Reb Dovid Trenk ZT"L Last visit to Yeshiva of Carteret
Rabbi Dovid Trenk's final visit to the Yeshiva of Carteret before his passing on June 30th. He was honored with Krias Shem at the Bris of his grandson Zev Volf Brown, son of his daughter and son-in-law Rabbi & Rebbitzen Azriel & Donya Brown. The event took place on June 5th, 2019, at the Yeshiva Gedola & Mesivta of Carteret, where the Browns serve as Rosh Yeshiva & Rebbetzin.
This was his final visit to the Yeshiva before his passing on June 30th. When he arrived at approx. 7am, although week and frail, he stood up dancing and singing with joy.
He viewed the Talmidim of the Yeshiva as his own, and loved visiting. Whenever the name "Carteret" would come up, he would repeat joyfully how happy he was that the Torah was revived in a place where it was once lost. Then he would boom "AND RAV MATTISYAHU SOLOMON DANCED IN THE STREETS OF CARTERET WITH A SEFER TORAH, WITH SNOW COVERING THE GROUND". His love for the Torah, and joy of spreading it, made him so happy.

Fueling Machlokes
Fueling Machlokes
Parshas Korach 5779
There's strong opinions there's passion and than there is fueled and manufactured machlokes used to impose one side over the other. In the age of social media and the internet the debate gets more publicity as media platforms are used as springboards to fan the flames.
Lately, several issues among frum Jews have brought out very passionate opinions from both sides, take one example the vaccine issue.
The vaccine debate has raged over the last year and with the help of social media it has fueled one of the largest divides in klal yisrael of recent years. Of course each side will claim its pikuach nefesh and justify its actions and to force its view on others. The measles epidemic no doubt contributed to take severe drastic measures.
Putting all that aside, is it a subject worth making a pirud in klal yisrael?
Was it worth all the hate, and division it has caused among family, friends, neighbors?
Was it worth the sinas chinom and open bizayon of gedolei yisrael?
Another example, members in some shuls have decided to improve in ruchniyus by talong upon the no talking shul initiative.
There are halachos of proper decorum in a bais Hamedrash and praiseworthy are those who don't talk. Unfortunately the implementation of this in some shuls is done in a divisive way that has brought machlokes and caused a ongoing divide among shul members. Its not a reason to use it as a cause of machlokes.
Is it better to not talk to each other and have machlokes while participating in a no talking campaign? These things have to be executed with chochma and seichel not to unilaterally force others into a situation that causes animosity, hate and division.
Rashi says Gadol haShalom why the dor hamabul was destoyed and not the dor haflaga. because they all got along even if they hated each other there was a superficial shalom which was also important.
Lastly, social media and websites looking to get hits and generate traffic seize the opportunity to publicize and fuel the controversies and debate which fuels the fire of machlokes.
Shalom trumps everything, we can agree to disagree but the redifos public shaming and hate are not the yiddish way.

Rebbe Only Saw Roses
 |
| Yated |
Article in Yated by Rav Yechiel Spero HERE
Written by a Talmid
Rebbi was larger than life. Both literally and figuratively.
In a world of black and white, Rebbi only saw roses. Rich, beautiful, vibrant colored roses.
 |
| AMI |
When Rebbi looked at you, his beautiful glowing, crystal-like eyes would pierce your very soul. You could hear them say to you in the softness of tones, yet full of conviction - "believe, respect and love yourself. Because I believe in you, I respect you and I love you."
 |
| Mishpacha |
To Rebbi, there was no such thing as a boy being off the derech. There were only children of Hashem - those who outwardly showed their struggles and those who carried them
on the inside. To Rebbi, those struggles were seen as a piece of a much larger masterpiece - one's beautiful, pristine glowing Neshama full of love, goodness and potential.
My peers and I used to say amongst ourselves - if Rebbi one day would inform any one of his many thousands of talmidim that he was Mashiach and Hashem had finally commanded him to reveal himself, not one of us would blink an eye.
Rebbi, please continue to watch over us. Continue to love us. Respect us. Believe in us.
Yehi Zichro Baruch.

Case to Fix Funding Formula for Lakewood School District to Proceed
When the state of NJ allocated over $30 million dollars in funding to the Lakewood school district a few month s ago (before it was removed and than turned into a loan) , officials credited the ongoing lawsuit filed by Mr. Arthur Lang, a Math teacher at Lakewood school district and a Lawyer.
The case is known as Alcantara v. Hespe and has been ongoing for 5 years. Tomorrow July 9, 2019 Judge Susan Scarola of the office of administrative law will hear the case to conclude the matter with the state's presentation of its case.
In July of 2014 Mr. Arthur Lang filed a petition demonstrating that the state funding formula for the Lakewood school district is inadequate for it to provide its students with a T&E education.
A Letter written this week to the judge by Professor Tractenberg mentions 2 points.
1. Does the School Funding Reform Act of 2008 (SFRA) provide the Lakewood School District (LSD) with adequate funds to enable it to provide its approximately 6,000 public school students, most of them low-income Latino and Black, with the constitutionally required through and efficient education (T&E)?
2. If it does not, are there constitutionally acceptable ways in which the State can provide
LSD with sufficient supplemental non-SFRA funding?
Conclusion
It has seemed clear from the start of this matter that the only constitutionally responsive and
responsible way to deal with LSD’s unique demographic circumstances, and the attendant fiscal
consequences, is by amending SFRA. The more time that elapses and the more evidence that
accumulates the clearer that reality becomes. It is time for your Honor to recognize that reality
and to forward your recommended decision to the Commissioner without further delay.
I understand that neither you nor the Commissioner have the authority to amend SFRA or to
require the Legislature to do so, but ALJ Steven Lefelt played a seminal role in Abbott by
providing the evidentiary basis for the Supreme Court to rule on the constitutionality of the
state’s school funding laws. You can do the same here. The difference is that, as I have pointed
out above yet again, your task is far simpler than was ALJ Lefelt’ was because the
Commissioner has repeatedly certified that SFRA funding is not sufficient for LSD to provide its
students with T&E and that is all this case is about.
