Some neighbors in the mostly Hassidic community say the school bus oven isn’t kosher – literally. There were live gas lines in the bus and police say if something went wrong it could have been catastrophic.

Police say the school bus oven has been disconnected and the owners will be fined by the building department.

    Welcome to YYS’s Monsey!! Enjoy your stay!! Explosive Matzoh Baking Bus, Treif in the Supermarkets, a Varm Lubavitch community – funded by YY$.

  • How ridiculous

    That is so funny I cant stop laughing! A Kasher and FREILICHIN pesach to everybody!
    So thats how we baked matzos for 40 years on the go

  • CN

    Why wouldn’t the oven be kosher? Why would gas lines into a non-functional bus be any more dangerous than gas lines into any other building or structure? They used the oven for a few years without incident. It sounds at best like a big story about nothing, at worst it has the smell of a “blood libel”.

  • Yikes!

    Was that whole thing taped on shabbos? yikes! I guess the whole thing kinda turned out to be persumei nissa and a big chillul hashem all mushed together. (Wether it was meant to be either or not!) In the future I hope ppl put a bit more thought into such things!

  • talmid of O.T. 73------76

    This is a real story, but I found it to be humerus, hence the classification.

    Not all stories in this categories are fictional.

  • DKNY

    For those of you who want to point fingers at Monsey, let’s talk about the Matzah bakery in Crown Heights hiring non jewish workers, or the chometzdika hormones in the milk a few years ago under Crown Heights Hashkocha
    Ha Ha to you guys.
    You have issues with YYS? Look at your vaad hakahal! $$$
    Yeah, lots of ahavas yisroel, tznius and safe streets.

    Chorus: The matzos on the bus go round and round…

    I wanna know:
    This was going on for 3 years. The neighbours all must have known. So, I ask – who tipped off the cops? (And, more importantly, why? – Who stands to gain from shutting down this “bakery”?)

    This smells more than burned matzah.

  • Hay hold on there!

    Those matzos are probably more kosher than our shiksa matzos here in CH. She realy looks very Jewish. I wonder how much per pound? Whats up with that glad they were caught lady? Real Ahavas Yisroel.

  • Montreal Matza eater

    The woman from the CH bakery, now Parnassah-less, found this great job in a bus-bakery. And some law-abiding, concerned citizens (shame!) blew the lid off the story. Actually, they nearly blew the lid off the whole area! Poor woman…no Mazal!! :-)

  • paisee

    To dkny you dont have to critisize others. Monsey has got its problems and so does CH. we just have to deal with them!

  • Annoyed!

    A PERSON WHO FINDS FAULTS IN OTHERS, HAS THOSE FAULTS IN HIMSELF!! DON’T TALK ABOUT OTHERS TILL YOU REVIEW YOUR OWN MAASIM!

  • Chavie

    Shows once again the greatness of AM Yisroel. Matzos can be baked anywhere and under any circumstances. If there is a will there is a way.
    Way to go Monsey!!!!!

  • Actually visited the bus bakery

    Actual story: Nothing happened. The bus is different. It’s not unsafe, it’s not illegal, it’s not unkosher. The fact a stupid shiksa news reorter named Antionette Biordi asked a stupid question does not changed the facts. NO Summons was issued, no fine was issued no ticket was issued, no violation notice was issued. The bus was back in operation the next day after the plans were shown to the inspector. He asked that the bus be moved 10 feet from the house (structure) for next year. It’s currently 4 feet from the edge of the porch, 20 feet from the actual house. The chillul hashem was caused by Jews who massered and called a TV station to do a story about nothing. but nothing doesn’t get attention. when you say “it could have blown up all these houses”, it had an active gas line“, ”the bakery isn’t even kosher“, ”it could have been catastrophic” NOW THAT’S NEWS! The only problem is none of that is true. The idiots couldn’t even get the address right.

    Jews doing mitzvas – a crime!? Who cares if it has wheels! I can’t stand this bashing and anti-Jewish attitude! even amongst Jews who ought to be proud of other Jews doing mitzvas. That’s what we’re here for! Yasher Koach for using resources for doing mitzvas!
