congregation sons of Israel went from MO to yeshivish, today they are a full black hatter shul with barely a few no hatter people left, the MO of the lakewood community were either holocaust survivors that were niftar over the past 20 tears or their children all got married & went to live in a more MO community like edison or highland park or Teaneck NJ ETC…. i watched as the MO of lakewood got less & less until it was gone. Its only a matter of time before cong. sons of Israel becomes CHASIDISH there are already a few people with streimels that daven there.
