the monsey matzah bakery bus turned out to be completely LEGAL. the only problem there was that he should have used fixed pipes instead of flexible pipe for the gas supply, a minor issue that is NOT zoning related.

in the alte heim, people supposedly baked their own matzahs (but they sent their chulent to the bakery every shabbas, (and used the eruv to bring it home every shabbas, except for litvaks who dont believe in the whole masechta eruvin) so i dont understand the discrepancy!)

#8 mentions last years case in Monsey of the bus which was illegaly converted to a matzoh bakery, Well #8, I’ve got news for you, this is a much more serious situation for many reasons. Firstly, there were people living in the building above (illegaly.) Secondly, it is located in a densly populated area. Thirdly, the “monsey bus” was not as commercialized as this Willy-B joint.The “monsey bus” story was just an excuse to put a picture of a Chasidishe man in the paper to make him look bad.

#3: Your “these people” comment is inappropriate. Had it been uttered by someone who is not Jewish, it would be called anti-semitic. We do not need more sinas yisrael in the world. What this person did was wrong, but does not automatically reflect on the actions (or chinuch) of any group in klal yisrael.

It reflects the chinuch of EVERYBODY in Klal yisroel!!! Stop being so blind!! the goyim are looking for reasons to hate us, and we cant give them more. Whether its this or money laundering, or gneivas akum or whatever. WAKE UP!! If something is ilegeal in America, the Torah says that althoough it may nt be assur, YOU HAVE TO ABIDE BY THE LAW!!! This is everybodys problem!!! we are all one people! k’ish echod b’leiv echod. This is your problem too. DO NOT BREAK THE LAW. PERIOD.

I wonder who would give hashgocho to this illegal operation? Mitzvo ha’bo b’aveira,laav mitzvo! Was this to make “cheap” matzo shmura? Maybe they should move in to a matzo bakery and live there? What is their ‘hetter’ for brazenly try to beat the system and break the law? Is THIS frumkeit? I hope not.
