Liar, Liar

As reported by The Suburbanite on August 19, 2010:
Etz Chaim President Robert Erlich wrote in an e-mail that the community liaison position is not unique to this application, but that the BOA has required such a position for similar applications.

"We are pleased with the approval and we will comply with all conditions imposed," Erlich wrote.

Those were the WRITTEN words of Mr. Robert Erlich, president of Etz Chaim of Teaneck. Really? You will comply with EVERYTHING and are PLEASED with the approval?

Last night, at the BOA meeting to memorialize their decision regarding the approval of the variance and the restrictions that Robert Erlich wrote that Etz Chaim will comply with, Etz Chaim's lawyer tried to continue to push through changes to the restrictions placed on Etz Chaim. Sources reported that Robert Erlich yelled at Mr.Rosen of the BOA that he must approve the changes and memorialize them now. Robert yelled at the same BOA member that chastised Etz Chaim for their unethical actions and negative behaviors towards the neighbors. Will the BOA require a liason between the BOA and Etz Chaim and leaders get up 2 times a year to preach tolerance towards the BOA? Yelling at the people from whom you are requesting a favor is idiocy. The BOA did not memorialize any changes. Afterall, Robert is pleased with the original approval and will comply with everything. If not, he is a big fat liar!

Robert did not provide a verbal quote for the article voicing his acceptance of the BOA's decision, he EMAILED it. What changed since that email?

As reported in the previous post, Rabbi Daniel Feldman will be chasing the money and officiate selikhot at the Young Israel of Plainview. It appears that the ramifications of the restriction against conducting services outside of Shabbat and Yom Tov has sunk in and Etz Chaim is now fighting to get it removed. Robert Erlich has gone on record calling Etz Chaim a Private Prayer Group and Rabbi Feldman has gone on record that Etz Chaim only uses the house 3% of the week. They asked for it and they forcibly fought for it. Now they have to live with the result of their actions and their absentee Rabbi.

Sometimes you get EXACTLY what you request.

Well Excuuuuuuuuuuse Me!

It has been a hard uphill battle for Etz Chaim to be able earn the right from Teaneck Township to exercise their Religious Freedoms at 544 Queen Anne Rd and wresling Rabbi Daniel Feldman from the grip of those Jewish Center conservative people.

Rabbi Daniel Feldman is the Mara D'Atra of Etz Chaim of Teaneck and as they enter this important awe inspiring part of the Jewish Calendar, he will be there for them to lead and guide Etz Chaim through important services surrounding the High Holidays. The members of Etz Chaim will proudly be able to hear Rabbi Daniel Feldman speak and pontificate on the Laws and feelings surrounding Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur. They will hear him address Etz Chaim about the meaning of true forgiveness and getting a true selikhah and kapparah from their fellow congregants and maybe even G-d himself. They will partake in a feast before Selichot on Motzei Shabbat to fill their stomachs while Rabbi Daniel Feldman fills their ears with Torah. Selichot night promises to be the best and most awesomest 1st night of Selichot EVER for Etz Chaim of Teaneck in their short existence as a religious group recognized by the BOA of Teaneck.

This 1st night of Selichot event promises to be the pinnacle of Rabbi Daniel Feldman's leadership of Etz Chaim of Teaneck to date! True Religious Freedom will shine on him and Etz Chaim in

PLAINVIEW, NY?!?!?!?!

Now appearing at the Young Israel of Plainview:

YIP Selichos Night Program Motzei Shabbos September 4 Sponsored in memory of Cantor Kalman Chaitovsky

YIP Welcomes Yeshiva University's Rabbi Daniel Feldman, noted scholar and author.

10:00PM - Dinner and Discussion of Sources; 11:00PM - Shiur by Rabbi Feldman (TBA)12:00AM - Selichos

Rabbi Daniel Z. Feldman is an instructor of Talmud and Jewish Studies at the Stone Beit Midrash Program of Yeshiva University,

and serves as the Director of Rabbinic Research at YU's Center for the Jewish Future. He is an alumnus of Yeshivat Kerem B'Yavneh

and received his ordination (Yoreh Yoreh and Yadin Yadin) from the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary, where

he was a fellow of the Bella and Harry Wexner Kollel Elyon. Rabbi Feldman is the spiritual leader of Etz Chaim

of Teaneck, NJ, where he resides with his wife, Leah, and their children

At least they advertised that he is the Rabbi of Etz Chaim of Teaneck.

Why are you paying Rabbi Daniel Feldman a salary if he ditches you on an important night of religious spirituality and need for Rabbinic leadership to inspire you to attain forgiveness from Hashem? Mortgage, Anti-Semitism and public chastising from BOA members is a steep price to pay for an Absentee Rabbi.
