As reported last week by Lakewood Alerts, TAG came out against the new 24Six Jewish music streaming platform, calling it “a step in the wrong direction.”
TAG’s public stance against the platform – which labels itself as an exclusively kosher alternative to non-Jewish music streaming platforms – was almost immediately followed by a mass kol koreh from nearly all chasidish mosdos across the United States and Canada.
Now, Lakewood rabbanim intend to announce their disapproval of 24Six as well. Sources tell Lakewood Alerts that a meeting was held in the Yeshiva K’tana simcha hall on Tuesday night with all menahalim and administrators of Lakewood schools and mosdos, in which they discussed putting out a similar kol koreh against the platform. The meeting was led by led by BMG Rosh Yeshiva Rav Aryeh Malkiel Kotler shlit”a.
Such a kol koreh could be forthcoming within days or even hours, Lakewood Alerts has learned.
Below is the kol koreh from the chasidish mosdos.
Lakewood never ceases to amaze me with their cultish so called “rabbonim” banning nearly anything that they don’t 100% agree with and for some reason people still don’t understand that TAG is just a money making machine and the reason they ban anything not made by them is because they monopolize the entire market of filtering. It’s just beyond ridiculous at this point and I still cannot find a single helpful thing any of these bannings did except make young teenagers need to sneak around and hide everything. Good job you guys screwed up again.
Interesting. “Tag” actually doesn’t make filters, or make money from filters. “TAG” did not ban this device. They only stated that for those people who do not give their children smart phones, this device is not recomended.
I cannot disagree more! Please stay off these postings you’re doing harm to people. Please post your opinions in private. Terrible thing to go and speak out against our GEDOLIM!
You’ve been so brainwashed by them you just stand up for them when there is no reason to it’s funny how badly brainwashed this town has become
ITS FUNNY THAT YOU LIVE IN LAKEWOOD WHEN YOU DONT CARE AT ALL ABOUT WHAT THE ROSHEI YESHIVA WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO RUN AND ARE IN CHARGE OF THE TOWN SAY!
LEAVE LAKEWOOD, THIS TOWN IS NOT FOR YOU, GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM!
THE ROSHEI YESHIVA ARE THE ONES WHO HAVE THE FINAL SAY HERE!
You are the brainwashed one in thinking that you are greater than them!
Cry about it no one cares anymore what these people say it’s time to finally stand up against the cultish and corrupt “rabbonim” and stop letting them control and regulate your every move it’s actually silly how you just back them up with no reasonable thoughts whatsoever go back to your shul and continue learning you puppet
If you make everything assur, than nothing will be assur. That’s what happened with me unfortunately.
You have no idea how many things the rabbonim ignore and tolerate. They only come out against something when they feel that there is a serious threat to Klal Yisroel from it.
“If you only way to sell Yiddishkeit is by banning everything, you’re bankrupt.” – Rabbi Eli Teitelbaum
That’s talking about people that don’t have any da’as torah or knowledge in halacha, so they come up with extra stringencies that have no basis from any sefer.
All the more reason to get it.
I cannot disagree more! Terrible thing to go and speak out against our GEDOLIM! The fact that you think that they just make these bans on the without thought shows your ignorance.

Oooh the anon imans of Lkwd are issuing yet another fatwah
WOW, THERE IS ZERO RESPECT FOR THE GEDOLIM FROM THE COMMENTS ABOVE!
YOU ARE A BIZAYON HATORAH. EVEN IF YOU MAY NOT AGREE, YOU ARE PLAYING WITH FIRE.
Ue literally posting on a website, real avodah wudnt need you to read thru and comment. Go learn, go daven enuf
we already got it and planning on keeping it. my kids are enjoying the frum music and a thousand times better then the spotify album.
This is a bunch of bunk. This website is just sensationalism. A news report that isn’t a news report. 24 six is geoinus and everyone knows it.
still better than Youtube
why didnt they ask a shaila before creating it?
maybe they did

TAG seems to have forgotten him. Hey TAG have a statement about Baltimore?
The Rov behind it is Rav Yaakov Bender
24 six is a kiddush Hashem. It’s creators will sit after 120 next to the kisei hakavod. BTW no one in Lakewood came out against it. This propaganda is pure shtusim.
I don’t know what 24/6 is and I don’t care. I use my own seichel to decide what I should be using or not. I am not against rabbonim, but, I don’t think they can always tell me what I should be doing. If I have questions, I will ask a rav, if I don;t , I won;t
Only problem with 24six is that its a distraction cuz it has endless amount of content. Any parent/adult with a pre frontal cortex can realize this. There are many distractions nowadays. Why come out with ill feeling Kol Korehs. This feels like it can make people resentful and backfire.
Lakewood Alert will you admit your lie?? It’s January 1st and still no “kol korei” from “Lakewood Rabbanim”
There was none. There will be none.
Open up Lakewood shopper
DISGUSTING TO TALK ABOUT RABBONIM LIKE THAT!!!
If they are against 24Six, how do they recommend frum Jews on a budget listen to religious music? It isn’t practical to buy every album and most don’t own a CD player anymore.
pleas stop the bikkuring and each person go ask their own daas torah what they should do
Hello, dear people interested in buying a 24SIX for their children,
I have a 24SIX and you don’t know how much easier it has made my life. Instead of downloading Kol Halashon every day, I simply connect to the Wi-Fi and download it, saving a lot of time.
I spoke with the Rav of TAG, Rabbi Nechemiah Gottlieb, and he said that it is 100% permitted and that even Bahurim Yeshivah can use it.
Don’t believe those people who have no Midot and write anything and know that they are wrong, so much so that all the people who spoke against it did not include their names.
And even though these people do not listen to Rabanim, the people who know nothing and think they know more than all the Rabanim together, they do not have the right to influence people for Evil, to influence people to go against Rabanim. Simply put, whoever is against it is against you alone.
So I think it’s good for all those people who are disrespecting the Rabanim, causing trouble here in these comments, to go and apologize.
The people who wrote messages against the Rabanim will not be forgiven in this world or in the world to come until they apologize.
And another thing, do these people who are going against the Rabanim study in life? Do they have cell phones with filters? Anyone who doesn’t have a filter is forbidden to be a witness for the Torah!!!!!!!!
I have no connection with either 24 SIX or TAG. I have a connection with the one who created the world. And if Hashem wanted the Rabanim to write this letter, who are you to criticize? If Hashem wanted this letter to not exist, it wouldn’t exist. So since it exists, it means that Hashem is sending it through the Rabanim.
Good luck to all!
May everyone have Daas Hatora
and may we receive Mahiach as soon as possible.
