The Future of Lakewood

Why not use talking in shul?

I don't know, maybe the author talks in shul ?

[Alexsei]

So had KD/AD gone to YU they'd be cured from their extramarital tendencies?

A mumble jumble of confused nonsense. I found it hard to follow his basic points and what they have to do with KD. His basic premise that KD was forgiven is absurd and based on nothing. Mentioning who KDs relatives are (even if he didn't name them specifically) adds nothing to his premise and is just a low, dirty move. His mixing of communities (Israel, Brooklyn, Lakewood) shows either a lack of understanding or more likely, an attempt to conflate many issue to give his unknowledgeable readers a non reality based impression. Literally nothing of substance in this screed to even respond to.

Haha 😂 I write chaotic like that often but if it's a published piece, I clean it up.

Gist is, there's no outrage, you have a musmach who's behavior was completely opposite of a frum Jew but much more severe given that he has semicha etc

And the author goes out to show that Lakewood is unforgiving but in this case, it's a non story

All good points. Stay away from Lakewood, between this story and prices at seared

It's a non-story? He's been ostracized by everyone except for his immediate family, and isn't being given 15 minutes of fame or any other attention.

He’s taking BMG’s Semicha a little too serious. Also, the prices came down at Seared.

He's an individual, one of many thousands of BMG alumni. He played no public role. He didn't author popular kids books. He didn't write a column in a major Jewish newspaper. He went OTD, unfortunately he's not the first one.  Its an absurd expectation that BMG should issue an official press release regarding his actions.

The problem is that he didn't

It's quite apparent that he did.

Off the Derech: An expression within the Orthodox Jewish community referring to individuals who deviate from the traditional way of dressing, attending synagogue, publicly observing Shabbat, and using unfiltered smartphones in public. It signifies a departure from the established norms and practices of the community.

I bet that if you poll every talmid of BMG if they heard of KD, more than 90 percent will say "Who??"

The notion that BMG should say anything publicly about him is simply absurd.

Equally absurd are the other 15 stories in Lakewood the author quotes.. of people kicked out of school for minor infractions

The author knows nothing about Lakewood. He's mining a few sad blogs for his info. I have or had children in boys and girls high schools and elementary schools in Lakewood. The author is clueless. There is literally nothing in his article that's worth responding to.

Is this a joke?
How about something much more basic, like eating non-kosher?

Was in yeshiva with the author. I'm sure he means well, but he's a depressed, misguided guy with a complex

I was also in yeshiva with KD. I'm not sure who I'm more embarrassed of

How was your experience getting your children into school? I've heard many horror stories, not from this article...

No OTD is limited to visible external stuff

No OTD is limited to visible external stuff

Since when is that the definition?
