i'm here in lakewood today on the 13th
of
2022. behind me you see is 319
forest avenue this avenue
just a few small blocks from base
meadows gravoya bmg lakewood
guess what
at this corner property once stood a
house
in which the owner was charles paston a
wealthy jewish person an orthodox jew
who hosted the previous red when he came
to america in 1940
that ebba was here for several months
a month to two he spent pesach here
and hasidan came from brooklyn to be
with him right here behind me the
building i believe was knocked down the
house was knocked down and they put up
this building here in 1962.
but on this piece of property in this
corner
in 1940 is what the free decade of yeah
and i think this is a very very
important and telling
proximity between
the basement of gabaya being right there
the bastion of literature judaism here
in america
and charles paston's home here with it
ever came
and 40 before the baron cutler came in
1943-44
in other words
sid them started
their entourage
to
lakewood back in 1940 before a byron
came in 43-44 now this is this of course
is under the rug and it's not relevant
because it's not a game who's better
who's it was bigger who's smarter my
father's greater than your father that's
nonsense
but it's important to know historically
the details
the purpose of the rep is coming
on one hand was just
to have a place to stay 770 wasn't
bought and moved into khafal of el
but
more than just a place to stay
this was a considered a vacation area
compared to brooklyn which was hotter so
it's pretty hot here today
but regardless
the purpose was to
make a yasad a foundation
a foundation of
torah and siddhis
yes my friends today we see how lakewood
is not only
absolutely
but it's a concept
it's not just you know do you see the
sydney work walking the street or do you
not
you know is bmg tolerant and and works
with the hasidim or not of course they
do but it's an ideology and philosophy
and practicality
meaning
the tata is one tata
the toyota is not a composite of two
dimensions neglect
the revealed and the hidden
the exoteric and the s esoteric
tie it is one unit
as one unit which taylor is
we need to know
that there was a foundation already here
for siddham
and the barbecue
in other words although later
on
they had a different opinion of various
things which i've written about
in several of my works lakewood alibaba
and orthodoxy 1900 and 1950
nevertheless
capanos and shema
and the purpose was truth
the fact is that the 100 years later
it's not 100 years 19 uh 70 to 75 years
later things have worked himself out
let's take that kayak
and use it
to continue building
a united
jewish community
where sidim and lithu
go hand in hand towards what towards
bashir taken
not to think about mashiach as an
afterthought one day we will be all
together
martha ben david made a beautiful song
that says it's not a song it's a
now
we have a right
we have an obligation
like the khafiz khayyim had his
his suitcase packed and he instituted a
a say that of learning
in the laws relevant to kaihanim because
he believes
coming every day any day
so to us in our life we need to do the
same thing with
the good of the current
