Kiryas Joel, NY- Herman Wagschal, the Monroe rabbi who built his synagogue and matzo kitchen without getting many of the permits needed from the town’s zoning board, has paid his fines but still needs a variance to keep his kitchen addition. He and his lawyer make their case again tonight in front of the zoning board and at least one neighborhood critic.

Wagschal and some of his family members are not much to brag about..
I see , so its ok for the 2 Grand satmar Rabbis to fight in secular court and make a BIG chillul hashem, yet there is a problem with thier congregants voicing thier issues regarding a neighbor who is breaking the law, which is bothering you? Please explain the ogic here!
Why is it not a chilul hashem to violate the law and build the bakery without proper variances and permits? The neighbor is following the proper legal path.
Oilam hafech ruisi. Some fellow who calls himself a rabbi blatantly violates the law and no one shouts chilul hashem. Another fellow who is a law abiding citizen utilizes the variance approval forum for what it is designed to be used – for neighbors to express their views – and everyone shouts chilul hashem. Has anyone thought why this neighbor is objecting to the variance? He is entitled to object for no reason, but I suspect this so called rabbi was not entirely neighborly while he was illegally operating a commercial establishment in a residential neighborhood.
Knowing Both Parties Fairly Well. I Think Its Not Nice Of Him To Fight It In Public In Front Of The Goyesh World. But On The Other Hand That Person Has Plenty Of . . . .On His Hand. You Anger People Untill They Do Irrational Things.
Anonymous 10:16 – the chillul haShem here would be a religious Jew flagrantly violating building code laws. Get your head screwed on straight. If he breaks the law, he should expect that others might not be happy.
Whoever the guy is that’s speaking in the video, I have two words for you. Chillul Hashem.
I don’t know how, if ever that can be corrected.
SHAME, SHAME, SHAME
did u see the house weres the money from i’m very impressed, perhaps its all bulid from saving on taxes!!!!
Shame i am not his neighbor because i would get ten other people against this Matzoh Rabbi
I can now understand his …. for doing what …did.
he is taking revenge for a personal dispute they had.
Very nice Mr. Neuhaser, now I wouldn’t wonder when non heimish neighbors act likewise.
a heimisher antisemite.
I HOPE I MISUNDERSTOOD THIS VIDEO. ONE JEW FIGHTING WITH ANOTHER JEW. HASEM YISHMOR AND WE WONDER WHY WE HAVE SOOOOOOO MANY ISSUES. I AM NOT JUDGING ANYBODY. IT JUST LOOKS SO TREIF IT MAKES ME SO UNCOMFORTABLE, THAT WE, AS ONE JEWISH NATION, CAN NOT LIVE TOGETHER IN HARMONY NO MATTER WHAT. LET US LEAVE THE FIGHTING TO BNEI ESAV NOT BNEI YAAKOV.
very nice of this neighbor to use the board as his stick
