The bombing at Elizabeth

All I'm going to say about this:

Is that I used to live in Elizabeth. There's a fairly large Jewish community there. And some of this community has some very serious problems. Though there are several within the city I'm obviously not going to say which one I am referring to.

Women don't know the first thing about modesty. They go to shul wearing mini skirts and worse.

Men, go to shul to socialize during davening, well the women do as well. It's not rare to see people smoking outside on Shabbos.

The Rabbi there tries his best to get people into shape but there's only so much he can do with "the board" breathing down his neck.

The sad part is that most of these people in Elizabeth are actually very good people. For one reason or another they just don't do what they should...maybe they don't know maybe they do, who can say.

I think this is a pretty huge wake up call, not just for that community but for all of us. Stabbings have been happening already in NY, now bombings. It's only a matter of time before things start really ramping up.
