Posted By: broigusI agree the Millburn Ave. site would be better but he already went before the Board on that site and was rejected.maybe the board should reconsider their decision?

Mikvah's are for females.
The level of discourse about Jews on this thread is repugnant and frankly disgraceful.

Posted By: bobkI am working on my second bowl of popcorn with this thread.
I think Bub makes the most sense. The issue with the zoning, however, is a legal one since Congress passed and then President Clinton signed a law that doesn't allow municipalities to use exclusionary zoning to prevent houses of worship to be built.
Maplewood had to deal with this problem several years ago and decided that the chances of success in court were small and the legal bill extremely heavy they allowed the church to be built. Since the Rabbi and his movement seem to be extremely well financed Millburn will probably incur millions of dollars in legal fees if they decide to deny the variance and probably lose to boot.
How many churches and synagogues in Millburn are on three or more acres?
I think the whole Mikvah bit is very telling about prejudice to be honest and seems to assume that the Hasidim don't have indoor plumbing or bathe regularly. The idea of the Mikvah, like many Jewish traditions, made sense back when people didn't have plumbing and, to be frank, probably didn't bathe very often or at all.
Putting on another load of popcorn, which in honor of the occasion I will drink with a Kosher wine, from Israel of course.
