I saw that on the news. Why would he hike on the forest in a dangerous area?! It seems like he wants to be killed. I would never fly and especially go hiking on a forest in an area where people get kidnapped, raped and killed due to the conflicts. His parents' should have known before sending him there, and now they ask the US government to be involved and try to find him using public tax payers money while hundreds of other being kidnapped daily are ignored.

Lakewood, NJ is hated by many people because the mayor and all public city workers in that city are Hassidic Jews and spend the city's money on their own people, cut off public school programs and buses to put those money in for private orthodox Jewish schools and private buses only.

You're such a joke. Lakewood has a minority Hassidic Jews. But you're right. Those who hate orthodox Jews, hate all of 'em, even those living in Lakewood.

But we understand where you're coming from.

Lakewood is home to one of the world's largest Orthodox Jewish population and Yeshivas.

Lakewood Township has one of the greatest Jewish population on a per-capita basis for incorporated areas in the U.S. at an estimated 59%.[46]

Well nothing we can do when secular Jews (especially those in Israel) bash the religious ones' and they are always in conflict with each other. Haredim and Hassidic's in Beit Shamesh throw stones and spit on people who aren't like them... There was a show about that town.

Secular Jews love bashing orthodox Jews, with transgressions real and imagined. So what else is new.

I'll be spending next Shabbos in Lakewood. I'll be sure to let them all know how loved they are.

And they bash non-Jews as well. My mother was Jewish and my dad agnostic; when I turned 14 I converted to Christianity and feel so happy now

I remember my mom taking us to the temple how the Rabbi used to talk bad about those gentiles.
