Reply To: The Hebrew spelling of Lakewood

And all Kesubos written up until that point?

“the name Lakewood literally means the woods next to a lake, which can describe any woods near any lake anywhere and does not specifically describe the specific city of Lakewood in the State of New Jersey.” I am simply asking because my admitted limited knowledge of the relevant halachos regarding this topic, leads me to believe this is a valid question. When someone says they are “learning in lakewood” will anyone misunderstand what yeshiva, in what town is being referenced? When someone says “im moving to lakewood”, does anyone think, even for a second” that this person is moving to Lakewood Tenessee?

Additionally, technically speaking Lakewood calls itself a Township, not a city. If one would search for the “City of Lakewood in the State of NJ” they will accidently bump into the Township of Lakewood but find no such city. I’m sure there are certain technicalities that make an area a city or a township. Lakewood calls itself a township, houldnt the Kesuba refer to it as such?

Are you a Posek? How many hours and in how much depth have you studied the relevant Halochos? How many times have you learned Shas in depth? How many years have you studied Shulchan Aruch? How does your Das Torah compare with Rabbi Povarsky and Rav Kotler, and the other Roshei Yeshivos? Why are you publicly asking questions on his Psak, thinly veiled as “simple asking”

my admitted limited knowledge of the relevant halachos regarding this topic, leads me to believe this is a valid question. your “admitted limited knowledge” leads you to believe you have a valid question on Rabbi Povarsky’s Psak!! does that make any sense?

If you truly are interested in understanding the Psak better because of your limited knowledge then find a Halachic expert in this field and ask him…80
