Lakewood Bikur cholim T shirt Sunglasses promotion at Gourmet Glatt
Bikur Cholim of Lakewood has one overriding goal: to help wherever help is needed. Within a short time, the organization was providing free transportation to out-of-town medical appointments, kosher meals and food pantries in area hospitals, and a selection of medical equipment available for loan. Bikur Cholim of Lakewood now services most of the NJ area hospitals. It sees to the physical and spiritual well-being of patients and their families with food pantries that are restocked daily, as well as comfortable Shabbos
accommodations for patients' families directly across the street from Kimball Hospital. Another essential service is patient advocacy, which helps families navigate the hospital system and ensures that patients receive the most appropriate and best quality care available.
Though the Lakewood community has grown exponentially, the volunteers and staff of Bikur Cholim of Lakewood maintain the organization's original objective: helping in any way, and every way, they can.

Lakewood Chaveirim look before you lock campaign
The interior temperature of a vehicle can soar to 130 degrees in less than seven minutes during a heat wave. Even with 80-degree temperatures the temperature inside a car can reach 110 degrees in approximately the same amount of time.
Lakewood Chaveirim, as first responders to incidents where a child is left in a vehicle, report that 99.9% of lockouts occur when a parent or caregiver is right there but accidentally locked the keys in the car with a child or children. However, they continue, “we have seen people run into a store to just grab something, leaving their kids out in the car. We aim to strongly discourage this practice, especially in this heat.
“The goal of the campaign is to raise extra awareness, making “Look Before You Lock” an automatic, subconscious action. You might be coming home from work when you never have your kids with you; you’re just going to get that mindset where you’ll check the back seat to make sure they’re not there.”
Over the past few days, this poster was hung up in approximately 200 Shuls around town and dozens of business.

What Rav Aharon Leib Shteinman said when a LPD officer was shot in 2011
From someone who spoke to Rav Steinmans gabbai in 2011 when a Lakewood Police officer was shot while doing a routine patrol.
"Rav Moshe Schneider told me he spoke to Maran Rav Aharon Leib shlit"a this morning and told him that Lakewood is shut down today for the huge funeral
of a police officer that was shot. Maran shlit"a said that this is very important
since killing a policeman is the worst crime because otherwise there is no fear of the law and the Gemara says if not for the fear of the government people would commit crimes against their fellow man and devour them alive"

First shabbos Bris held at the old shul
A milestone occasion took place this past shabos in the Old shul of Lakewood. The Old shul as it is called headed by its current Rav, Rabbi Yoffe, was built in the early 1900's. It was the original congregation sons of Israel before the kehilla built another shul on 6th and Madison avenue. It is the oldest shul in Lakewood. Up until this past shabbos the shul never hosted a shabbos Bris since there was no Eruv in the area and people could not bring their baby to shul. A few years a go a new Eruv was constructed in the vicinity of the shul and beyond enabling this opportunity. This shabbos the shul was host to a shabbos bris the first in its long rich history.

Lakewood Neziros story first reported on Dans Deals Lakewood forums
From Dans Deals yesterday at 5:16 pm that was the first report.
Interesting story happened in Lakewood last week. A class was learning about Nezirus, and a 12 and a half year old boy said I am becoming a Nozir, for a minute. The Halacha is that someone close to 13 (Kotan hasomuch L’ish) can also be mekabel nezirus (and if you make yourself a Nazir for even a short time, it’s automatically for 30 days). Rav Forsheimer was asked and after consulting with Reb Shmuel Kamintesky, said that they have to keep Nezirus till they go to a Rav to Matir it. (not sure if I got all the facts correct).

באחד מתלמודי התורה בעיר ליקווד, למדו בשבוע האחרון בחומש על הנזיר. שני ילדים בני 12, הודיעו במהלך השיעור כי בעקבות לימוד ההלכות הם מקבלים על עצמם להיות נזירים. על פי ההלכה, ברגע
שאדם אומר "הריני נזיר", הדבר נחשב כנדר, והוא הופך להיות נזיר ל-30 יום, בסיומם עליו להביא שלושה קורבנות: כבש לעולה, כבשה לחטאת ואיל לשלמים. עד אז, אסור הוא בשתיית יין, אכילת ענבים, תספורת והיטמאות למת. בימינו, כאשר אדם נודר להיות נזיר, הדבר חמור הרבה יותר. זאת משום שבית המקדש אינו קיים ואין באפשרותו להקריב קרבן בסיום ימי הנזירות ולהתיר את הנזירות. על כן, רוב הפוסקים סוברים כי האיסור יימשך לכל ימי חיי הנזיר. כיוון שהילדים הינם בסמוך לגיל 13, בו הם נחשבים "גדולים", חשש המלמד שלהם כי הנדר חל, וכי הם יהיו נזירי עולם לה'. המלמד פנה אל אחד מתלמידי החכמים בליקווד, ששיגר את השאלה הדחופה אל הגאון רבי שמואל קמינצקי, ראש ישיבת פילדלפיה. הגר"ש קמינצקי דן בסוגיה, ולאחר שהעמיק בכל פרטי המקרים, פסק כי אכן הנזירות חלה, וכי על הילדים להתיר את נדרם. עם זאת, קבע הגר"ש קמינצקי, כי את הנדר יתירו הילדים רק אחרי שבת, כדי שיהיה להם שהות להרהר בחומר העניין של קבלת נזירות עולם, ושל נדר בכלל. לאחר מכן, ייערך טקס התרת נדרים, במהלכו יתירו הילדים את נדרם.
