*Newark Flight Cap That Was Set To Expire Will Stay For Another Year* The federal cap on flights at Newark Liberty International Airport, which was set to run out this weekend, will instead remain in place for another year, according to an FAA order published in the Federal Register. The extension takes effect Sunday, October 25, and keeps Newark limited to 36 arrivals and 36 departures per hour, or 72 flights total, through October 30, 2027. The FAA first restricted Newark flights in June 2025, after radar and radio outages, air traffic controller shortages and runway construction caused widespread delays. The limits were extended in September 2025, when the current 72-flight cap was set. *READ MORE* ⤵️ https://thelakewoodscoop.com/news/newark-flight-cap-that-was-set-to-expire-will-stay-for-another-year/

*Ocean County To Pull Workers And Retirees Out Of State Health Plan, Blaming “Extraordinary” Rate Hikes* Ocean County is set to drop the State Health Benefits Plan (SHBP) for all of its eligible active and retired employees, effective January 1, 2027, TLS has learned. The resolution would end the county’s participation in both the SHBP Medical Plan and Prescription Drug Plan, “thereby cancelling coverage provided by the SHBP for all its eligible active and retired employees.” In the resolution, the commissioners say the SHBP “has experienced extraordinary rate increases over the last few years,” and that the State of New Jersey “has shown no willingness to assist in controlling the continually increased costs,” leaving “counties and municipalities throughout the State being left with difficult budgetary choices.” *READ MORE* ⤵️ https://thelakewoodscoop.com/news/ocean-county-to-pull-workers-and-retirees-out-of-state-health-plan-blaming-extraordinary-rate-hikes/

*Sherrill Slams Trump, House Republicans Over NJ Voter Registration Probe* New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill slammed President Trump and House Republicans after congressional lawmakers subpoenaed her administration over a Motor Vehicle Commission software error that improperly registered thousands of noncitizens to vote in New Jersey. The subpoena, issued by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, seeks records related to the registration issue and the state’s handling of the error. Rep. Jeff Van Drew has also been involved in the congressional scrutiny of the issue. The error involved the state’s Motor Vehicle Commission and led to noncitizens being improperly registered to vote. Sherrill’s administration has said it took action after discovering the problem, implemented agency-wide reforms and worked to ensure the integrity of New Jersey’s elections. *READ MORE* ⤵️ https://thelakewoodscoop.com/news/sherrill-slams-trump-house-republicans-over-nj-voter-registration-probe/

*Letter: When Did Liquor Become Something to Celebrate?* I am writing with a genuine sense of concern for our community. This past week, I came across an advertisement in a frum publication promoting a liquor raffle, featuring an array of expensive bottles and presenting them as grand prizes. At first glance, it might seem like just another fundraiser or promotional campaign. But I believe it raises a much larger and more troubling question: What message are we sending to our community when liquor becomes the centerpiece of a public celebration? We cannot pretend that alcohol abuse is not a serious issue in our frum communities. Too many families have experienced the pain, the tension, the embarrassment, and the devastating consequences that can accompany irresponsible drinking. Too many people know firsthand that what begins as social drinking can sometimes develop into a destructive problem. Our community leaders, rabbanim, educators, and mental health professionals have worked hard to raise awareness and encourage responsibility. *READ MORE* ⤵️ https://thelakewoodscoop.com/news/letter-when-did-liquor-become-something-to-celebrate/

*Submitted PSA: Driving B’Halacha; What It Means To Drive According To The Torah* Driving בהלכה: Learn what it means to drive according to the תורה בהסכמת הרב פארכהיימער שליט”א The purpose of this קונטרס is to make people aware that while driving it is possible to be עובר on many איסורים if not done properly. Therefore “Driving” should be put alongside כשרות and שמירת שבת. The same way every ירא שמים and מדקדק בהלכה is very careful regarding all areas of הלכה, his זהירות in driving should be no less. *READ MORE* ⤵️ https://thelakewoodscoop.com/news/submitted-psa-driving-bhalacha-what-it-means-to-drive-according-to-the-torah/
