Dear Matzav Inbox,
I would like to address the trend of publicly sharing photos of the cars of people who park in handicapped spaces without visibly valid permits.
While it may be frustrating to witness the misuse of parking spaces designated for those with physical limitations, sharing these photos publicly can present significant halachic concerns, particularly regarding lashon hara and public busha.

Dear Matzav Inbox,
The recent report on Matzav.com about the closing of the Kingda Ka roller coaster brought to mind an issue that has bothered me for years.
In our community, we take great care to uphold high standards of tznius. We maintain separate seating with mechitzos at events, weddings, and gatherings to protect and honor our values. And yet, when it comes to amusement parks, we seem to have forgotten these principles altogether.

Dear Matzav Inbox,
This past week, two frum podcasts featured young frum men discussing the fraud they committed and the consequences they now face. I’m writing this letter as a call to action for the frum community. If you think these are isolated cases, then you have your head in the sand.
Why, and how, are we allowing this to happen?
Have we forgotten to teach our children the basics of honesty? Why do we assume, “I won’t get caught”?
Perhaps the problem lies in what was mentioned in one of the episodes: “All we talked about in yeshiva was the guy we knew who left kollel and, in less than two years, owned 15 nursing homes.” Why are our children idolizing people with wealth?

Dear Matzav Inbox,

Dear Matzav Inbox,
I feel obligated to voice my dismay regarding the troubling obsession with politics that has unfortunately grown into our frum communities. It is nothing short of pathetic.
From every corner, I hear endless discussions about the latest political skirmishes, alliances, candidates, and strategies, as if these matters hold the ultimate significance in our lives. Trump, Harris, Walz, etc. nationally. Wieder, Menashe Miller, Lichtenstein, Schnall. etc. locally.

Dear Matzav Inbox,
Why isn’t anyone addressing the real parnassah crisis in our community? While the world around us sees bustling shuls, full grocery carts, and well-dressed families, the truth that’s swept under the rug is that for most of us, it’s a daily struggle to keep our heads above water.

Dear Editor,
Thank you for this opportunity to respond to the letter that appeared yesterday about daled minim Shuks.
There was a total misrepresentation of what the Shuk is all about.
I write today with a sense of urgency to defend the beauty, purity, and undeniable impact of the daled minim Shuks.
Yesterday’s letter claimed that the Shuk might not be the best environment for our children, that it presents a negative influence.
Let me tell you, with over 20 years of direct involvement in the Shuk in Lakewood, NJ, this couldn’t be further from the truth!

Dear Matzav Inbox,

As next week approaches, I feel compelled to express my deep concern regarding our children and their increasing time spent at the daled minim shuks, no matter where or in what city.

While many parents view this as harmless, a mere opportunity for their children to earn a few dollars or enjoy some freedom, we must recognize the significant dangers lurking in this seemingly innocent environment.

Dear Matzav Inbox,
As a recent retiree who has joined the masses and relocated to Lakewood, I have encountered many situations that amaze me. However, what I recently experienced, although not unique to this community, compels me to speak out. I am not one who usually raises issues in protest, nor do I desire to be a mekatreg before the Yomim Noraim—I have never written before. But please, help me understand!
