-Remember this Motzei shabbos  spring ahead to Daylight Savings time

-First time home buyers and homeowners are taking advantage of low interest rates being offered by several banks to refinance. Santander bank and others are offering very low rates

-At the township meeting the mayor was asked how Lakewood is preparing for it  the Coronavirus. The mayor said that the state and county are taking a lead on it but  people should not panic they shouold pay attention and use common sense measures hold off from shaking hands


-A Lakewood  publication has called on the community to isolate a individual who it claims
his actions are a massive chilul hashem. The publisher wrote "This article has been reviewed by Rabbanim" but no Rav signed their name.  It brought up a serious charge but worded  only as an allegation  "Allegations have been swirling that .... and his cohorts were the source of the Rise Up Ocean County attempt to close down playgroups in Lakewood" but provides zero proof on him or the cohorts whomever that is. The writer than calls on everyone to ignore and not talk to that individual  "The only way to defend ourselves from this harassment is if every single one of us makes it very clear to him that as long as he continues his malign activities he is not welcome among us. If you see him, do not touch him, but please ignore him. He will get the message loud and clear".

Others have pointed out that  for journalistic integrity it should have  noted  the family  relationship between the publisher and a relative of his who is currently in a lawsuit with the individual they are trying to so call ostracize and shun.

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.

Update on Lakewood Boy who fell off Balcony

Hamodia reports:
The condition of the Lakewood boy who fell off a balcony last week has, baruch Hashem, shown some nice improvement, but he is still in serious need of rachamei Shamayim.

Moshe was celebrating his 11th birthday party last Tuesday, and threw some party snappers off his second-story balcony. He bent over to see them pop on the ground below, and, as it was a rainy day, he slipped and fell off the balcony, suffering serious brain injuries.
Tehillim sessions were held throughout the week, in Lakewood and beyond, as people davened for a refuah sheleimah. The name “Chaim” was added.



Shortly before Shabbos, Chaim Moshe was taken off the respirator. He was in serious pain, but alert and asking for his grandfather and uncle, and has mobility on both sides of his body. On Sunday, the boy had three sips of soda and two bites of a cookie, a relative told Hamodia. It was the first food he had eaten since his fall, and “even in his groggy state, he made a brachah before putting the food in his mouth.”

The relative says Chaim Moshe is still “agitated and confused and sleeping on and off throughout the day,” and that though the news is encouraging, he still has a long way to go and many tefillos are needed.

Klal Yisrael is asked continue to daven for the refuah shelaimah of Chaim Moshe Ben Dina, b’soch she’ar cholei Yisrael.
