Capitol Hotel

Question

Did you hear what the Kotler mafia did last week. They closed down the Capitol Hotel. Where do they have the right to destroy people's parnassa? What about the Chillul Hashem? This is L'shem Shomayim?

Chill out! For your information, this is one issue that almost everyone in Lakewood, Jews and non-Jews alike, agree on. Personally, as painfull as it may be to agree, I like the move. The place should be demolished or remodeled. It has been a problem for years. I personally can attest to some boys that went off the derech there. They will admit it also. Whether that gives them the right, is a question that I'm sure they asked a Rov. The Chilul Hashem question is a two way street. CYA
