The Chofetz Chaim in two places paskens that smoking/vaping is מאבד עצמו לדעת and the second hand smoke affecting others is a form of רציחה

    First: There was no vaping in those days.
    Two : If you can turn outright Loshon Horah etc into Chofetz Chayim Mitzvos; Kal VoChomer you can turn Vaping into Chofetz Chayim m itzvos.

    Kal vachoymer you chuchem. Vaping is proven to do more hezek than tabak tzigarettlach

    Lmaaseh, what’s the story with Shalom Torah Academy in Manalapan? Why do they go through teachers and administrators like underwear? Why does Aviva Hoberman have so much power? Is it her family? Do they own a stake in the school? Where does Rabbi Scharf fall in? Doesn’t he own the will. What a complete mess.

    The Chairman of Shalom Torah is Leon Goldenberg sometimes known as Mr Tomchei Shabbos Flatbush or the Baal Habos of the Agudah Ave L Coffee Room. He is very high up in National Agudah so Hoberman, Drucker & their protekzia from Philly & Long Beach probably have first dibs on his ear over some random parents who were ba’avaled

    To post that the CC talked about vaping is a Yudel insert. If there was no vaping then the CC didn't say anything about it. If you claim that its worse then smoking, no one would deny that but don't lie about the CC.

    Find out the other side of the story and you'll open a new world about who ba'avaled who. Shalom has been around for forty - fifty years and this is the first claim of 'b'a'aveled'. Something don't fir here.,

    How many administrators and teachers has Shalom Torah gone through in just the past several decades? Why did they fire Rabbi Kramer who was a great guy? Why is Aviva Hoberman שר׳י harassing every parents to get their child assessed for special services? I have more question when you’re done answering these
