Two New Jersey residents were arrested this week after they hosted large crowds at events in their homes, including a pop-up wedding, in defiance of social distancing orders amidst the coronavirusoutbreak.
Eliyohu Zaks, 49, was taken into custody on Friday after authorities said he hosted a pop-up wedding in his home on Spruce Street in Lakewood.
The event was attended by more than 50 people, a violation of the state’s newly enacted edict banning such gatherings as part of efforts to contain the coronavirus.
Another local resident, 43-year-old Shaul Kuperwasser, was arrested after a large crowd was seen gathering at his home on Thursday.
Lakewood officials said they have received dozens of angry phone calls from local residents who have reported mass gatherings in recent days, according to Patch.
The authorities said they are acting with a sense of urgency after Lakewood reported a confirmed 26 cases of coronavirus through Friday.
Across New Jersey, at least 11 people have died of coronavirus infection. Statewide, there have been a confirmed 890 cases.
Lakewood Police Captain Gregory Staffordsmith said his officers have continued to break up large gatherings this week despite the stay-at-home order.
‘We want the public to know that we have heard and share their concerns regarding gatherings of more than 50 people and have taken action against those who have failed to comply,’ he said.
The recent sightings of public gatherings have already exacerbated long-running tensions in Lakewood, where a large Orthodox Jewish population has relocated in recent years.
New Jersey police earlier this week broke up two large weddings at reception halls, according to NJ Advance Media.
Even as wedding halls were ordered to shut down, residents simply moved the ceremonies to backyards on their residential properties.
Lakewood residents were particularly outraged by photos showing hundreds of students inside a local yeshiva.
The photos which were circulated on Thursday on Orthodox Jewish news sites and social media set off ‘a flood of notification,’ according to police.
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy this week angrily vowed to crack down more harshly on residents who held gatherings as state authorities struggle to prevent the fast-spreading disease.
‘It’s time to cut the crap,’ Murphy told reporters in Trenton on Thursday.
When asked about the continued violations in Lakewood, Murphy said: ‘We simply cannot have this.
‘We have got to ensure compliance, no matter what the circumstances are.’
The governor vowed that his order banning gatherings of more than 50 people ‘has to be enforced.’
‘It will be enforced aggressively,’ he said.
Murphy was also asked to respond to rumors circulating online of widespread coronavirus infections among the Orthodox Jewish population of Lakewood.
‘We don’t have any insight on that,’ said the governor.
‘There was a rumor that 100 people were exposed. We cannot confirm that.’
Orthodox community leaders in Lakewood said that all 200 local synagogues and 130 yeshivas in the area have either shut down completely or limited prayer to small groups.
‘This is a very concentrated close-knit community,’ Rabbi Moshe Zev Weisberg told NJ Advance Media.
‘Many day-to-day activities and religious customs are done in group settings, so it’s a bit of a learning curve.
‘But an incident here or there should not reflect the community.’
Nationwide, the death toll reached 280 as of Saturday afternoon.
Meanwhile, the total number of confirmed cases being reported in the United States surpassed 22,000.

Good. Everyone needs to start listening to what the Hells going on.
Ashley De Azevedo
Good
So glad they finally did something about it.
Just 2? Hmmm..
Kristen Capua-Peel
Dawn Reynolds Michelle Oliveira Casqueira????♀️????♀️
Only in Lakewood see this ????????????
Anne frankly they deserve it
Omg I just spit coffee.
Don’t be a racist piece of sh*t! I hate the action of those guys too, yet don’t be racist
Good!!!!!!
Just quarantine the town with national guard because obviously most of them don’t give a shit about rules and laws.
Thisss????
THIS!! ^^^^^ IF THEY WANT TO INFECT THEMSELVES, SO BE IT BUT KEEP ME OUT OF HARMS WAY BY GETTING THESE PEOPLE AWAY FROM ME AND NOT LETTING THEM COME IN OR OUT OF THE TOWN!
I totally agree….QUARANTINE THE WHOLE TOWN NOW!!!!!!!! This is not for racial reasons…it is to save all mankind no matter who you worship to……..peace and love please….
Good there’s should have been more arrested
Good. Screw them! Start thinking of others instead of your corrupt selves.
Arrested . But are they actually going to get charged? It seems like they rule the town and law
Victoria Carr Froumy they do the cops listen to them
Sashamarie Ash
Only 2? ????
These Fucken people just don’t get it
Marshall law in Lakewood
Marshall Tucker? Marshall Marshall McLuhan? Marshalls department store? Marshall amplifiers?
Marshall Mathers?
Not like anything is gonna happen to them.
I hope this is true that he got arrested because he is putting us and the police force in danger.
Want to live in our country/state? Follow our laws. Plain and simple. No one is exempt. I hope this sends a message, but I expect we will see more issues from there.
Jail time??? Probably not. Since stealing millions didn’t get jail time.
Lori Branic and killing a child
never obey laws there schools are still open also
If their schools are still open, they’re finding their own rides. As a school bus driver that literally drives for their schools, I can confidently say they are suppised to be shut down. If school buses are running its probably jays or seman tov or the jewish bus companies with the Hebrew one the sides (because they dont listen to the regular rules what makes us think they’ll listen to these ones?) I assure you NON Jewish bus drivers are NOT bussing these kids to school. I’ve been laid off until further notice.
Excuse my typos the site keeps glitching and jumping around the screen lmao
*supposed to be
*Hebrew ON the sides
Pop up weddings? Is that a thing or straight up defiance?????
Sharon Gerdes Duell They will call it a “misunderstanding”.
Sharon Gerdes Duell of course it is … If you have to quickly organize a f’king wedding you already know its wrong… “Quick call the bakery and change the delivery, DJ, invitations, catering… You don’t go through all of that because you’re trying to follow the law, you’re going through it to skirt around the law…taking it from public to a private venue. They’re thinking isnt “let’s be safe about this” their thinking is “lets not get caught” straight up defiance
Good!! Enough already!!
Don’t let them out !!!!!!!!!!!
Brett Brown
It’s a Cult. A cult of dissidents. They are a cult of horrible people. No morals.
Really stupid people out there. They’re next meeting will be on the line to get tested
Good for them think they’re above the law anyway let me see them around here that won’t last long
bunch of idiots
Private schools still open, 4 police officers tested positive. The town is out of control
Robert Peters They are awful. Putting the lives of so many at risk . Ignorant is saying it nicely. Pray for those responders and those in uniform.
Lock them up for a year and a $50,000 fine
and because of their stupidity the numbers in Jackson and Tom’s River rising because now they want to spread it around to other townships give me the spelling up they were shipping the idiots in from New York to sleep at the schools but now they just want to infect everybody
Martin Kobovitch I heard that Kimball hospital is covering up alot of positive cases
Gina Marie would not surprise me they don’t want to follow the rules so why would they tell the truth about their numbers
Gina Marie wouldn’t surprise me
Gina Marie that wouldn’t surprise me one bit
Good!!!!they are not above The law for any reason!!!! If mass is cancelled during lent and on three of the holiest days of the year!!!! Theirs is cancelled too…asshats.
Patty JPat uhm, you’re such an antisemitic racist. They are above the law…
They are spreading the virus keep them there
Good
28 cases in lakewood as of Friday
Robert Peters 46 I think as of last night
Patrick Brennan holy cow
Robert Peters And being that only some are tested I’m sure it’s really much more than that!
Patrick Brennan did you see the nurse saying that some tests were thrown out?
Hold on, I’ll get it
Patrick Brennan https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=679666886102684&id=100021781366598
Dave Meyer Thrown out? Why because their religious bullshit laws make them exempt? ????♂️
Read this
Dave Meyer UnFuckingReal
Bring in the national guard
They were issued summonses, their buddies will throw them out because it was a misunderstanding
Dave Meyer a misunderstanding what are they fucking stupid? They don’t understand no gatherings? No they just think they are above the law!
Tara Gianni. When one couple killed their child , they were let off by saying it was a misunderstanding.
Betty Wallace pisses me off so bad!
Hallelujah
they all knew the risk of going and they went so he should not have gotten arrested
K Sazzy Ann what??? How about the other people that come in contact with them? The hospital workers exposed when they come down with symptoms, etc.
K Sazzy Ann dumbest comment I’ve seen yet
More should be done!!!!!! If it was one of us we would get the book thrown at us
They breathe the same air , piss and shit , go shopping and driving who are they to think they are better then us THEY ARE NOT I’m am person that dont care what or who you are I will speak my mind
Lisa Carragher I agree more should be done. Everyone is saying bring in the guard. I say put a perimeter around Lakewood and keep them all in there. Dont let them out of their own town.
Kym Bennett Brander yes and when they get sick don’t let their ignorant asses in the hospitals
And find them 100% find find fine and in jail for a year learn you are putting people for risk
Jacquelyn Wilson fine
So selfish.
OCEAN COUNTY RESIDENTS it is time to have your voices heard. The blatant disregard for the safety of our families and friends is relying on your voices. There are individuals in our county, particularly Lakewood, who feel it is not necessary to practice social distancing, instead they are still hosting weddings and school when all other schools have been told to work virtually. This pandemic is going to cripple our economy and affect all NJ families. We need to tell Governor Murphy that ALL people need to follow the guidelines and rules when it comes to this atrocity. Enforcement needs to start taking place to ensure our well being and future as a productive community.
CALL: 1-609-292-6000 (if busy keep trying)

Call your legislator as well.

Bob Jehnke thank you
Gina Marie called the other day voicing concern the gentlemen I spoke seemed to be very repso sive and aware of the situation
Bob Jehnke thank you
Theresa Lucas First thing tomorrow morning I’m on it
Murphy is just as guilty
In his briefing yesterday he said something about social gatherings…..
And proceeded to say
“ I won’t mention the town”
Seriously?????
Gotta keep those votes coming in
Freaking asshole
Sue Sheehy We ALL KNOW what town, have the damn balls to say it Mr Ed!
Sue Sheehy they are his voting block and biggest $$$$$$$ supporters
But will the state follow through? How tough where they on them when they were stealing money from government support agencies that they getting qualified for?
And still doing it
Arrested ??-. They could be infected–does one go in the police car at this time?
Donna Risner there are 50 NYPD officers infected????????????
https://www.fox5ny.com/news/over-50-nypd-officers-test-positive-for-coronavirus
Dave Meyer oh my god awful
Good.
Here come the lawsuits.
Rob McDonald was just about to say the same.
Put that whole town on lockdown with the national guard. They r scum and just think they r above everyone else , I don’t have hate for anybody but those mfers ugh
Robin you are awesome, that is EXACTLY what they think
Lisa Ann
Lorenzo????????????
They are ridiculous!!!!! Stay home!!!!
Kelly Leach-Barros maybe and hopefully a start to a stop
Wow I am surprised but sources say nobody got locked up you folks gotta remember it’s Lakewood smack in the wrists
Let’s just slap their hand and brush it under the rug. People are getting tired of this. They are above the law and discriminate. Seriously do you think a non Jewish child would be allowed in their home or school.. Not!
They are the ones spreading it the worst!!!! Teaneck NJ infested!!!!
Stupid idiots
Love it!!!!
Gov.Murphy what are you doing about this?
Governor Phil Murphy
Judy Heinrichs well, they were arrested, so…
Lola Montez Howland right ????????????
Maura Lee what should the governor do, exactly?
Judy Heinrichs he’s nicely asking them to please stop and wash hands.
Lola Montez Howland they were given fines for April. For disorderly. It’s like less than driving with suspended license.
Lola Montez Howland I was agreeing with you they were already arrested so what more do you want the Governor to do?
Keli Kely would you like them arrested for attempted manslaughter?
Maura Lee step up to the plate and see that the fines are enforced. They are getting away with what ever they want .. send a message that they are no different than the rest of us. You commit fraud leave your kid in a hot car to suffocate see what happens
Lola Montez Howland not a bad idea
Judy Heinrichs not a damn thing
Lola Montez Howland please these people got away with killing a child by saying it was a misunderstanding
Maura Lee actually prosecute them ! You know the people that got away with millions in Medicare fraud , and got away with killing a child by saying it was a misunderstanding
Judy Heinrichs they have him in their pockets
Maureen DiChiara I’m not very political but I would hope not but….
Lola Montez Howland so… the charges will be dropped.
Eric Niedrach blame the prosecutor
Eric Niedrach I would bet they will..what ever happened to the mother that left the baby in the car for hours…she was charged but not one more peep was mentioned
Lola Montez Howland no you. Lame the corruption and money spent by the people charged in order to escape responsibility for their actions. Blaming the system is warranted but also blame the criminal.
Judy Heinrichs he will find a way to get them out of it
Just a FYI across the state of NJ with what is going on most police Departments are writing a summons on anything of 4th degree or less this is to avoid as much contact with the individual then what it used to be if convicted in municipal court then they would be processed / police are gearing up for when the crap
Really hits the fans / but we all know those of the Jewish community’s in Lakewood Toms River/ Jackson / Howell and other place always think there untouchable so thank you Lakewood PD for setting them straight and hopefully other towns do the same and put them in check mate
Judy Heinrichs probably as little as possible. He wants their bloc vote.
Good
Shannon Christensen
Stephanie Bavbek
It’s about time!!!
yOu’Re aLl jUsT hAtErS aNd rAcIsTs aNd AnTiSemEtIc bUlLiEs…
OH PLEASEGO BE WITH THEM
Irene that was clear sarcasm lmao calm your tits.
Dave Meyer no, we just hate scumbags who think they are above the laws
See reply to irene above lol. Sarcasm. Its even more obvious because of the capital and lower case letters. He’s mocking them.
Dave Meyer Go lick the door handles in Lakewood
Betty Wallace ok Laura…
Kiss my ass you POS
Dave Meyer you really need to come up with another response. That one is used so much it is getting old real fast. If a group of people think that they are immune to a non- discriminatory deadly virus then so be it. Just try to have some common decency and keep it to yourselves.
Mary Warner
You are so clever. Hope you are following the Governors orders, hate to see all that intelligence wasted.
Mary Warner of course I am
Dave Meyer Good to hear.
Good for them..they think they can do as they please..no rules for them…
Lock them up
And sadly there will be no repercussions.
Hey why dont we let history repeat itself ????
Xiomara Velez think about it. Just a wrong thing to say. Alot of society’s persecuted in the world’s history.
Rick Salamon you know, we are filled with rage, hate disgust and violence. So someone cast the line and sees what’s comes back. People are definitely thinking it. They talk about it behind close doors. What will be will be. I have faith in humanity.
????????
“Pop up” wedding my a$$!!! Governor Phil Murphy control your voting demographic!!
Doreen Trisolini
Liz Solazzi Gigliotti good! Lock them up and throw away the key!
Disgusting and offensive their level of defiance.
Rosemary Abahazy
Read this. The cases are most likely higher being that alot of tests were thrown out…
https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=679666886102684&id=100021781366598
Keep complaining to NJ.gov ….to the Lakewood Police and to Ocean County Board of Health. Something drastic needs to be done and not just a slap on the wrist. No one is above the law.
They like large gatherings, keep them in jail
Really give them a lesson put them in cells and throw away the key that’s where they deserve to be
Bravo ????????
Put national guard out maybe the visual message will be heard
Now 5 Lakewood residents are in critical condition on ventilators smh
IN OUR HOSPITALS I’LL BET SET THEM UP TENTS BY THE RAILROAD TRACKS
Irene Bisogno where do you work?
good they are no different than us.
Heather Gebhardt Gonzalez what i was talking about!
Let’s see where this goes…
The state police or the National Guard need to be brought into Lakewood. Everyone knows who runs every level of Government in that town and how corrupt it is. While I don’t think the military should be used as a Police force, somebody who is unbiased needs to be making decisions.
they should fill them planes up they use for Forrest fire with gasoline ,make a few passes over Lakewood and dump it all over the town . then drop a few lit flares over the town also . there you have it problem solved
Sal Fagan hahaha, definitely not using it to put the fire out, but reverse…
Good .. thank you to Lakewood PD and the Governor for everything they are doing to help with this very ignorant group of people
All charges will later be dropped
Peter Byls
The reports of cases is incorrect I. Your article. This is from NJ department of health.
Sarah Marie
https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=679666886102684&id=100021781366598
Sarah Marie most likely alot higher
Dave Meyer it will keep getting higher. Its been taking a minimum of 4-5 days to get test results back.
I work there. Trust me I know.
I know
Then they will shout anti semi when they can not get a respirator !
Listen if they don’t want to listen then put them in a room together in large groups lock the doors and let them all get sick and they can watch what happens to them
Rosario Cannizzaro one could only hope…
Did you guys see the video of the rabbi telling them they are immune from being infected yes by the virus because Hashem will protect them and that only the goyim will be infected. It’s on youtube. Look it up.
Sarah Marie I did. I managed to watch about 2 minutes before my eyes rolled so hard it hurt.
I hope they are not let off the hook this time. They need to be accountable just like the rest of us.
The Scanner just continues to stoke Anti Semitism. Note the Public Schools were never closed down in LKWD or Jackson until lastnight. Why? Maybe someone should ask Murph whom I did call his office over a week ago & continued to call. Phone just rang & rang. No one picked up, no answering service, no secretary. They have been long gone. Why no testing center in Ocean County as of yet only Bergen & on the board one opening in Holmdel in future. Why no info on Gov req. Ventilators masks makeshift hospitals. Damn we have enough vacant buildings. Why bc he is a Socialist Left that believes in the Herd Mentality. But he raised the tolls this week. Others in other states are now paying 99 cents a gal. For gas bc gas has dropped to $30 a gal. Not here though. At a time when people are struggling financially. He could write an emergency order to lower those gas taxes but I paid $2.23 yesterday. Wake up NJ Ocean County. This guy is inept . maybe instead you all should be calling as well. He allowed travel & is still allowing travel for normal people back & forth to NY. All non essential should if stopped weeks ago.
Joanne Jodi Fridson Cohen Ms Joanne, my daughter attend Lakewood High and they officially have been out of school since Tuesday, the bus drivers( God bless them all) were out here running their routes delivering breakfast and lunch meals to the students ensuring they still were getting their meals. The only schools that were still in operation were the Orthodox schools. Speaking as a Lakewood resident and no I’m not stroking any ire just speaking as a parent
Jennifer Dotson yes before Tuesday THEY made an announcement that they were keeping public schools open I will post the article. As far as Orthodox Schools. If that was true then EVERYONE SHOULD BE BEATING Murphy’s DOOR DOWN & REMEMBER THAT WHEN IT IS TIME TO VOTE.
Jennifer Dotson https://www.nj.com/news/2020/03/lakewood-public-schools-to-remain-open-monday-even-as-districts-prepares-for-statewide-closures.html
Joanne Jodi Fridson Cohen I agree
Well maybe they will all get sick and we will have less to deal with. They live like cockroaches in there homes. One gets sick they all will.
Erin Édesem Lloyd
Good…. Now let’s discuss their fraudulent activity
I said the same thing..build a perimeter or wall around Lakewood..keep them inside..let them all pass the virus around to themselves instead of forcing it on innocent people
Governor Phil Murphy where you at?!
Dean Booth…counting his corrupt cash!????
George Miller
I find it funny if someone disagrees or comments on the hisidics your automatticaly a racist!! When it comes to religion these days its like u cant even have a opinion on it. Its getting out of hand in Lakewood these days the PD turn there heads when it comes to Jews.they pretty much run that town
Tom San Filippo it’s funny about religion your right. Like all the Pedophile Priests sexually abusing children for years . have you looked at the list? Funny so many of them were mine. Talk about being out of hand, but people still going to Church. Lol.
Joanne Jodi Fridson Cohen totally agree with you!! Putting money in those baskets every sunday and it goes to lawyer fees and pay offs to the kids who got molested to shut up. And all they do is relocate the pedo priest to another church. Catholic church is one of the most corrupt business s and so called religions out there.
Tom San Filippo I am convinced that the Vatican is washing Cartel money like they use to wash Mob money. Ask me why. Take a trip to St. Patrick s( I have many times) Look around & take note of the passing of the baskets & the congregation. Lol. I actually filmed it about 8 years ago. It was like a lightbulb went off in my head. Lol.
Joanne Jodi Fridson Cohen love it when everyone praises the pope when he sends out a prayer to the starving and homeless and than goes home to his solid gold toilets at the vatican.
Tom San Filippo ????????????i don’t know if you can get it in demand but years ago Penn & Teller did a documentary on the Vatican. It may be on youtube or Amazon or Netfix. Worth watching. Also there is an organization that ex priests started for children of Priests( whom they were themselves) to support all the children that were fathered by the Priests. There are thousands google it. The stories of these children. Look I don’t like knocking anyone’s faith or religious beliefs, but there are many sheeple out there in this there world. ???????? heres one link
https://www.ncronline.org/news/accountability/children-priests-invisible-legion-secrecy-and-neglect
Murphy is urging people not to go to Jersey Shore. Just urging not ordering. He’s afraid to order not to go for fear of Political backlash. So not like Cuomo. Lol so then u wonder why the people in Lakewood are still doing their thing. It’s called lack of Leadership.
Oh & by the way. Has anyone here in Ocean County called all their wedding venues off? Anyone keeping tabs on that? People still having Showers etc?
Joanne Jodi Fridson Cohen actually yes. My daughter postponed hers..does that validate it?
Deborah Dishon not looking for validation. I know of some that I had an invitation to a mega bridal affair that did not, so I was inquiring if others knew as well.
Actually does that validate my question?
No one is above the law.
What a joke
Good!
They will get out with free Mets tickets…
Stephanie Torode
Alyson Morris arrest the whole town
Stephanie Torode ‼️
WTH !! ????
Only 2 arrested?
Alice Glazder Brych my thought exactly!
This is why the majority of cases in ocean county are in Lakewood. When governor murphy told them to not have groups more than 50 they had 2 weddings of more than 50, that the police had to break up. Every time I drive down the street it’s still crowded as hell. And now this crap. They are not taking this seriously. And they are putting the police and emergency hospital staff at risk. When their hospitals are over capacity and they are crying that their family and friends are sick, they’ll have no one to blame but themselves. SMDH
Elizabeth Tripp in China they actually locked people in their homes and welded doors shut. They should do the same to these assholes and let them suffer in their homes and let happen what will happen. They will NEVER learn
IDK that seems a tad bit too far. I think escorting people to the grocery stores ata safe distance and stopping anyone whos on the road until people get the message sounds alot better. I feel like making people starve to death in their houses seems alot like hatred for a certain group rather than frustration at a towns lack of common sense. I mean, have you ever driven through lakewood? Common sense is a rare commodity over here.
Elizabeth Tripp there is not enough staff available to participate in this kind of action. With the amount of stores that are in Lakewood alone, and then include force directing on roadways. Lakewood is over capacity in many ways. Who knows what answer will actually work, because the issues there are ongoing.
They claim it’s not true!
Shari Brucker Stopera wonder who runs that?
John Hurst exactly!
Shari Brucker Stopera i read that as well & I also read from someone that thy were at one of the weddings & there were only a couple of people there. Immediate family. Who knows what’s true or not true. However I am sure everyone here has been out & about. There are many here not taking it seriously as well. I talk to people & they tell me bc I am in, that you can’t stop living. They had St. Patty’s Parties. Shop Rite the Malls before yesterday were packed. Yesterday I drove by Ollies. It was packed.
They are the ones that are going to make matters worse in our state.
Jessica Figueroa yesss
Jessica Figueroa who is they?
Carrie Garfinkel the people that don’t comply with government rules!
I don’t think u want to come at me as if I’m racist bc that’s def not the case especially who I work for are the sweetest kindest people and are Jewish! Also my child’s Thearapist workers are also Jewish !! I’m talking about they are going to make matters worse in our state by not complying. Sry if u got offended in anyways I will reword it for you! The members of our ocean county community need to comply and have a safe distance away from one another and stay home if your not able to work!
Jessica Figueroa agreed
Erich Donna Robyn
They act like rules , laws , don’t matter to them
Mike Rausa in their minds they don’t. It’s only God’s law and God’s will.
Great ????????????
its about time’
Kelly Ann
Cranmer Marie Lisa About time they do something
This is why Coronavirus will continue to spread long after the two weeks
its about time! Great Job Lakewood PD
It’s about time!! Lakewood needs martial law
Then this from our friends at Greater Lakewood. You can’t make this stuff up.
Shari Brucker Stopera it’s always the opposite of the truth, you know, a lie.
Rise Up Ocean County yes lol!
Sadly if they were, charges will be dropped and they’ll get out of it.
Good it’s about time
Ah yes! Make a show that something is actually being done, charges will be dropped as long as they insist they didn’t know and eventually Lakewood will be given more funding at the expense of other towns.
Sound familiar? It’s like Ground Hog Day in Lakewood! ????♀️
They feel the virus is a gift that will wipe the rest of us out. Also, God will protect them with immunity because they are his chosen people.
Carolee Moore but doesn’t Lakewood have the most confirmed cases in Ocean county? ???? Doesn’t seem their ‘gift’ is working out too well for them…
Kathy Galaro I know.
Bunch of idiots. Good.
Hope they learn.
Finally!!!!
About time!!
Finally
Fucking idiots
Why the spotlight is on this sketchy community let’s dig into WHY this is a UEZ tax zone. Let’s dig into all the section 8 houses with luxury cars in the driveway, and let’s look into the politicians who look the other way.
Craig Van Natta 1000% agreed!we need someone to clean that shithole up!they think their above the law.
Craig Van Natta agree about the Politicians starting in Trenton. Call them to task. Alot of talk no action.and talk is cheap. Pick up the phone. I do.
They think there above the law
Maria Agathangelou The thing is they want to live in their own world, with just their own people and rules.
get them all
Arrested, & what given a dp summons & released?? Pay a fine, yea right!!!
What a joke!!!!!
Michelle Cappuccino
Fines, fines, fines!! And make them big… along with community service at the grocery store overnight stocking shelves or cleaning!!! No exceptions!!
Bunnie DeLancey no thanks on the shelf stocking. They were around a large group and don’t need to touch food going out to the public.
Mae Belle good point..
Antonio Infante
Hugh Honey its not enough. Strict strict laws should be set in place for the town of lakewood and any who dont obey should be sent back to jerusalem
About damn time.
If they dont go to jail for Medicare and welfare fraud, they aren’t going to jail for millions being gathered together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Paige Sokol agreed ! They don’t care about the laws . We are the ones that always get screwed .
????
Paige Sokol look here what u r saying but if u only knew about the Medical Fraud. I was a Practice manager at an Internal Medicine Practice for 10 years in this County. From 2004 When affordable health enacted the practice turned into a Medicaid Practice. Most of Ocean County was on Affordable Care. I know bc I did the billing as well. I also knew most of these Patients for years. I know what Construction Businesses they owned. I know the Million Dollar on the water houses they were living in, i knew the husbands, wives etc whom were using different names and saying they were separated but were not. Or whose businesses was put into there parents na es, all to get benefits. Not one person of color or Anyone of Jewish faith. These were all Caucasian people driving BMW, Escolades, bling on fingers, iphones, vacations to Islands Disney etc. This was no joke. I could write a book. I was sitting there with no insurance, paying my taxes, & paying for their health insurance from my taxes but I paid the $1000 penalty for no insurance bc I would not be able to pay my property taxes if I had to pay insurance. And many of my patients that fell thru the cracks like I did actually had to sell their homes bc they could not afford the penalty & their homes for 2 people & could not afford the insurance either. Just saying. Fraud is everywhere.
Joanne Jodi Fridson Cohen ok. Just stop. You do realize that these people ALL received amnesty after being found guilty of stealing millions ? The very same people that can kill they’re own child , and say it was a misunderstanding. Unless you fully grasp the optics of Lakewood, don’t comment ! Maybe you want to defend them having schools still opened ?
Betty Wallace I can defend common flipping sense & fact but not stoking Social unrest or the promotion of either religious bias or any type of bias against any race, color, creed online, especially in these trying times. Now if you have an issue with the known fraudsters I am assuming & hoping that you filed a complaint to address it. But most likely u didn’t do either.
Joanne Jodi Fridson Cohen in all fairness did you ever file a complaint knowing full well what was going on and who they were for 10 years?
This isn’t and shouldn’t be about anything but illegal activity and those who are putting others in jeopardy.
This virus doesn’t care about what race, sex or religion you are.
As for the comment from Betty, she stated a fact!
Sandra Castlegrante Bowman yes I have & I have tried to call the Governors office everyday last week. Guess what? The phone just rang & rang, no answering machine, no Secretary Nodda. I also know that there are many up till lastnight before Murphy finally closed non essential businesses still at Malls & stores shopping for non essentials. Yesterday morning I went to get gas at 10am & bank. Ollies parking lot was filled to the brim & until Kohls closed it was the same. And to your point, that was my point. This virus doesn’t care so why just point the finger at one segment? There are still hundreds out bc our Gov has not stopped any of it. And how do these shoppers know if they have something or other shoppers have it & now they are out & about spreading to our communities, but your not reading any of that here on this site, only finger pointing to a particular community. Our Gov today said he discourages people going to Jersey Shore. Do you realize N Yorkers, North Jersey etc will come anyway bc this Gov cannot commit. Do you think that they will obey what he said? Some will, some won’t. He is not strong enough & no follow through. As for your comment & Betty’s I am stating fact & just by Betty using those words “THOSE PEOPLE” SPEAKS VOLUMES & FOR U TO VALIDATE THOSE WORDS THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES AS WELL. Hey birds of a feather
Joanne Jodi Fridson Cohen again, my question to you was if you ever reported the people you said were, in so many words, scamming the system when you saw it happen first hand?
Your words were that you saw what they were doing for 10 years.
You couldn’t have called about that now or did you?
This is the order.
Governor Murphy’s Executive Order further directs the closure of all non-essential retail businesses to the public, with the exceptions of:
• Grocery stores, farmer’s markets and farms that sell directly to customers, and other food stores, including retailers that offer a varied assortment of foods comparable to what exists at a grocery store;
• Pharmacies and medical marijuana dispensaries;
• Medical supply stores;
• Gas stations;
• Convenience stores;
• Ancillary stores within healthcare facilities;
• Hardware and home improvement stores;
• Banks and other financial institutions;
• Laundromats and dry-cleaning services;
• Stores that principally sell supplies for children under five years;
• Pet stores;
• Liquor stores;
• Car dealerships, but only for auto maintenance and repair, and auto mechanics;
• Printing and office supply shops;
• Mail and delivery stores.
Examples of employees who need to be present at their work site in order to perform their job duties include, but are not limited to, law enforcement officers, fire fighters, other first responders, cashiers or store clerks, construction workers, utility workers, repair workers, warehouse workers, lab researchers, IT maintenance workers, janitorial and custodial staff, and certain administrative staff.

This Virus is 10x as contagious as the flu .
Dirty scum bags
Finally they get locked up.these people spread the measles every were they will spread this .
They need harsher penalties . They get away with everything they do . All illegal smfh
Outstanding now lets see what happens to them. Probably a $25 fine.
We should build a wall around Lakewood and separate it from our state/country.
Rick Jenkins The hasidic are in multiple towns. Even north nj and NY
Steven Michael Fowler gather them up and throw them over the wall
Good they spread everything
Murphy needs to show force. The O.J’s have for the last 5-7 years have pushed their laws. Using the police dept to shut off their lights on Friday. Changed codes for their benefit. Welfare medicare and unemployment fraud. Where is the mayor? Haven’t heard one word from him. Went do politicians stop allowing the takeover. We moved from TR to Stafford to get away from these slobs. Anti-semitism, not really. This shows the disregard these people have for our way of life. STOP THEM NOW!
Let’s lock them up while possibility being infected. Now our jails/police depts/guards will be contaminated ???????? round and round we go
“A bit of a learning curve”…. really? Just how stupid can you be, anyway?
Mel P
They don’t get arrested????????
Murph sugar coated the shit outta that news bight
Should make some arrests in Newark then…

Why are so many jews stupid assholes? Smh
Larry Green these folks just don’t understand this is why we don’t like them it’s not because of religious beliefs at all it’s because of how they behave
Ocean County has 97 cases of virus Lakewood has half of them Stop spreading the germs and follow the law…we all want to stay healthy
You can’t fix stupid
Mike Cannito
Karalyn Smith idiots
Idiots, lock them up and they can party in jail
Stupid & Ignorance..their #BeBest
Morons.
YES DEFINITELY NOT RIGHT They think there above the LAW
Paul Everett Heimall Jr
Jail plus hefty fines
they are the law in Lakewood…nothing they ask for is ever denied….if it is denied all they have to scream is ANTI-SEMITIC and all jurisdictions shake in their boots and give in….
They think they can make up their own rules and do what they want they just dont care
Since laws and executive orders don’t apply to them, every one that attended deserves to be taken off any type of governmental aid. Anybody else notice that the governor avoided naming the Ocean County municipality that refuses to abide by the governors order?
Walter Marzulli every single time I noticed that.
These mother F’s think this is a gift sent by their “God” to wipe out their enemies! I say Marshall law their fucking towns and let them spread it to themselves ????
What part of the covid19 don’t these people get? It’s very serious stay home or get arrested.
Good they have to follow the rules too,no exceptions????
They are terrible.
He’s on the payroll he was probably there!
u forget about the orange one. he should be out .
Janie Schuster still your president!
Rich Koz sorry, not mine .????????????
Janie Schuster wtf does this comment have to do with Lakewood?
Why would they want to risk their family & friends possibly getting sick & dying. Selfish & stupid behavior on their part & no wonder others are angry.
They dont give a shit about life, thank God the police stopped them
Let’s go MURPHY stop talking about it … come to Ocean county and and put a stop to it !!!
Good.
The jewish community police themselves. Been that way for long time
Shannon Woodruff
Why do they think they are above the rules!
Nothing will be done. They do whatever they want and thumb their nose at laws. Nobody tells the cult what to do.
Idiots
Seal off the whole town and let the virus do it’s thing
Ryan Hatch if only
About damn time!!!!
This town has been the problem for years. The rules do not apply to them. They do what ever they want with out any repercussions. They are a burden on the state, all in the name of religion!!
They just dont care
Good
Good. For f***s sake stay home!!!! The Jewish community is going to be hit hard and they have no one to blame but themselves. Selfish stupidity
They get arrest, yet nothing will happen. All of Lakewood should be forced to lock down.
They need the national guard armed to the teeth with orders to federally arrest and imprison anyone crossing the borders out of Lakewood city boundaries. Give them 4 hours to get home or they are SOL. These people understand nothing except money and imprisonment. Good luck with Inzelbuck bouncing them out of a government prison facility.
Finally
Good! Such assholes
About time
Well we will have 100000 more Jews in 10 months time. Be ready
Yup stupid idiots. Good for the cops.
nail their defiant,disrespectful, non-tax paying dirty assses!
Good
This…has got to be the biggest infringement on individual rights I have ever seen..
It’s not the orthodox Jewish community it’s the Hasidic community. Unfortunately too many people group the entire Jewish community into the ways and actions of the Hasidic community. The Hasidic communities live by their own rules and laws and they do not adhere to the laws set by the government. These communities no matter where located need to be held responsible for their actions. If they commit a crime then they need to pay for that crime they cannot get away with doing what they want and endangering the rest of the community.
Francine Weiss-Tymesko agree
you’re absolutely correct, this is NOT the jewish community doing this. this is the haredi, or if you prefer, the hassid. either name is correct. everyone needs to realize that, and not tar judiasim with this brush. also be aware that ALL the haredi communities are doing the same behavior….even in israel, where the army is now trying to control them. in new york state various counties are asking for containment by national guard troops as well. they behave the same where ever they go. they care nothing for anyone but themselves, which is completely against all jewish law. completely. jews don’t do this. haredi do.
Francine Weiss-Tymesko yes very true I worked at a place that was purchased by Jewish not Hasidic and learned a lot while I was working there and they are so different than Hasidic Don’t get me wrong they all do think there better than us non Jew people.
Kelley Bless you are correct about haredi sect & Lubarbacher & yes goes totally against Jewish law, which states when in another country , you take the dress of that country& obey the laws of that country.
Good
Remember the never ending Measles outbreak ?
With Lakewood having the highest cases of this virus rules need to be enforced for the safety of others.
Bring the national guard to Lakewood let’s do this Murphy or this won’t stop
idiots
Just the fact that our officers have to respond to BS like this, is ludicrous. I live here in Lakewood. Everytime an officer has to go in there to break a party up, they could be exposed. It’s just as dangerous for them, the police department, and their families. If one faith holds themselves separate from all the people, and blatantly disregards the safety , health, and wellbeing of another, what type of faith is that exactly ? It could be manslaughter if they knowing have sick among them. A video was circulating about how this virus is not for jews of faith ? That video its self is bringing their own people and everyone that comes in contact with them to sickness with the possibility of death. It’s a virus, it’s no respecter of people. A virus destroys all it touches, that’s what they do. The foolish ignorance and disregard , will be devastating to all. It is a faceless enemy we all are fighting.
Sandra Formoso Markey you need to move.
Grace Bednarczyk looking to relocate out of state !
Good
They probably were released within the same hour.
This was long overdue
Wouldn’t surprise me..
https://www.thelakewoodscoop.com/news/2020/03/no-nobody-in-lakewood-was-arrested-for-hosting-weddings-photos.html
Let God handle it.
Good!!! Robin Crouse Wicks you are right.
It’s all gonna get washed away just like the parents who’s child died in the car…. It was a misunderstanding!!!
They are evil. They steal from the government every day of their lives. The whole Hasidic community should be isolated
Let’s all call him today at 2
Murphy is in their pockets
https://youtu.be/vlNsA84_bAE
Steven Cicchetto Nutsey Fagan !!! Crazy
Kathy Reilly yep they dont care!
Steven Cicchetto I cant even listen to them! Uhhhh
Gail Fattaruso yep!
Those people should not be allowed to be treated if they get sick. This is so fucked up!
I sorry that it came to this. But are very selfish people. just saying
Everyone remain calm we survived 8 years of the Obamavirus
David Lazarus I don’t understand how they think. If they are such a tight knitted community don’t they have concern for their own community? Are they really thinking that they will be spared by their God? SMH
What a fkin stupid comment. Asshole
stupid comment
Lockdown on Lakewood, they do not listen to our laws.
If no one thinks Lakewood isn’t the problem here… please stick your head back in the sand. These are the latest Corona virus numbers
Same here in NY…..Kiras Joel, approx 25,000 Hasidic living in one location, totally ignoring the mandates. The National Guard need to be sent there too. They have NO consideration to the rest of the community surrounding them, the are obnoxious and totally defiant.
Dave Tober and notice that small adjacent towns to Lakewood, Jackson, Brick, TR have higher cases
Margaret Dominica Gorbe I’m in Brick near Lakewood ????
Dave Tober I’m in Jackson
Margaret Dominica Gorbe and I’m aware of them moving in and taking over
I don’t understand how they think. If they are such a tight knitted community don’t they have concern for their own community? Are they really thinking that they will be spared by their God? SMH
Mary Gartland Hoffman yea they prob do!!! So ignorant
They should be vaccinated with the Virus and then Quarantined so they can suffer without infecting anybody.
Reggie
Fine them biggg! They don’t care . They are ignorant people!! Send the state police in to help or the national guard to put an end to their ignorance!!!
What only two, you’ve got to be kidding me
Cindy Schoof Weyant this is why they continue with weddings. Out of the 3 weddings prior to these, only 2 people recieved a small public nuisance fine.
total idiots with no regards to the general public. They refuse to follow the rules set forth. Lock em all up.
its about time. they think they are above the law.
Marlene Cicchetto Nothing will come of it, as usual.
All Bullshit in you door and out the other if you know what I mean
As the saying goes, “A lie gets half way around the world before the truth has a chance to put on it’s pants.” They were not arrested. They were merely issued summonses for disturbances. 1 of them even had a security ensuring they would not exceed the limit of 50 people. Obviously not the best idea, but Jesus, get your facts straight.
A woman came in the store today looking for flowers for a wedding. You had to see her face when she was told there aren’t any flowers wth
God will determine which of them gets it and dies. The problem is as it spreads to people not willing to die for gods gatheriongs
need harsher consequences
They only follow their own rules.
When they get sick, we shouldn’t have to treat them.
Tell your Rabbi to take care of you!
Jerry O’Malley
Good f them
About time
They’re all infected at This point. Basically close the city down block it off and let nature run it’s course and do us all a favor. The police should not even interact with these scumbag religious excusing jerkoffs.
It’s about time they shut them down. It’s getting ridiculous. They arent better then us and we dont need them spreading this. And why isnt Murphy shutting them down? ????
I wonder who they are paying off now????
National guards should be called in????
Jo Ann Forsythe Meredith they were
Bethann Galvin-Smith is that Lakewood?
How fucking stupid can those people be . Make examples out of them and give them 30 years for endangering other people’s lives
Susan Eldridge
Now dont do it again ok??? Please shaking his finger at them
Dopes
It’s about time! Bravo!
They should charge them with intent…
Everyone should have been arrested and put into quarantine
Make Lakewood a containment zone!
Rules don’t apply to them I guess!
they’re gonna keep doing what they want since they follow their own rules
Yeah, and they’ll let them off the hook like the welfare scams they run.
