Beth Medrash Govoha expects that 90 percent of residents will commute to the yeshiva by walking. Georgian Court received $12 million for the land. In 2022, Beth Medrash Govoha received a $3 million federal grant for the construction of a child care center that will include rooms for up to 300 children. The approved plans show the basement what appears to be a banquet hall space with three rooms with over 2,200 square feet of space each, a 1,300-square-foot kitchen, coat rooms, a lobby and a separate entrance from the child care ground floor. Gleiberman did not answer when the Press asked for the purpose of the child care basement. He only said that it will "be used by the day care and potential residents."
As part of the development, the cul-de-sacs on Cedarview Avenue and Carey Street will be removed, as those roads are planned to become the entrances to the residential complex.
- Lakewood residents will be hit with a huge tax increase after the BOE announced a $31 million increase in the school district budget from last year even as enrollment went down. Board members pressed district officials for a breakdown of the new increases but they initially did not have all the information on hand until midway through the meeting. At one point the board attorney, thinking his mike was off, was overheard saying "shut him down". To their credit board members brought up the Lang lawsuit ruling to push the state for funding as they ask for a loan the increases over last year are
$3 million charter school expenses
$9.3 million tuition out of district
$5.7 million increase for health benefits (Which is costing a total of $30 million)
$2.7 million for loan 4 million payroll
$5.3 million transportation and other costs watch replay here
- R' Aaron Lang reacts: Thank you all for writing in my favor but I must comment that Rabbi Weisberg is a good man who was on my side since the beginning. I do not know why he waited until now to issue a public statement in support of the litigation but he did put out a statement in my favor in 2019 when the district demoted me to the middle school. Also Meir Lichtenstein was on our side and listened to what I had to say at the disastrous 2014 political meeting while all other politicians and bosses were at best. As for local support, Rav Zeev Rothchild z'tzal, was a patron. He advised me up until his tragically early p'tera during the pandemic. Finally, Rav Elyahu Levin did whatever he could to help us.
