20 years ago Rabbi Zalmen Sorotzkin opened a shul in the basement of his home. It serviced the 12th street andMonmouth area. Shabbos morning prayers started at 9:45, majority of the crowd walked in after shachris. A full lavish- 3 course Kiddush was served every week while Rabbi Sorotzkin gave a small dvar torah.
The synagogue moved to the westgate area. It attracted an ערב רב of people. Justin Flancbaum was appointed president and Gabbai. He is the only gabbai in Lakewood who let his hair grow wild. Lately he is trying to put on a more frummer image so to gain the frum vote so he grew a beard a trimmed his hair. Justin was the chairman of the Master-plan committee gets paid $180,000 + benefits from the MUA. His fafther who is a real estate broker is also on the MUA board.
The Esteemed Gabbai
His maternal grandfather was a frum Hungarian Jew who survived the holocaust. His mother had a religious upbringing. After years of marriage she decided she wants to become a model and live a free life… so she divorced his father. Her Father was deeply hurt by this until the end of his days.
Justin is well connected with the powers in town. Pfeiffer and Goldman Esq. went to Lakewood Day School together. Senator Singer is his godfather and mentor. Singer has groomed Justin to be his successor. Justin joins Singer to all Ocean/ Monmouth county political events where they enjoy the cuisine of sea food and wine…..
Justin married a nice religious girl from Highland Park. He had an affair with a non-Jewish woman and had a child out of wedlock. Eventually he divorced his wife and married his mistress after a conservadox conversion.

(October 12, 2018 - 8:48 am)Its a bais Midrash you bozo, This is one of the stupidest, and most narrow minded article have ever read. Have you ever walked into there? There are tens if not hundreds of people that probably wouldn’t even go to _any_ shul of not for the warm and welcoming attitude that the rov creates there. There are big talmedei chachamim that daven there as well. The Lakewood community has unfortunately never given people who need a little space any room for comfort searving Hashem in their way. Those who can’t thrive in a cookie-cutter style society have been falling to the side. Untill this. finally there is a shul that is warm, welcoming, and inviting. Nothing is force fed. The shmuessin given by the rabbi are uplifting and empowering, unlike some other places. I’ll never forget how I once heard the rabbi there telling someone gently, that when he talks during _Davening_ , he should try not to speak _loshon hara_. What a _pikeach_! thats what the man needed to hear. Not be shushed and yelled at like he probably had been until he got there. Please. Keep your stupid and ignorant thoughts to yourself until you mature.
