On Thursday evening, November 3rd, local Crown Heights activists and businesspeople met with a few of the Republican candidates for various positions.
“This is a time for us to unite along with other Jewish communities, and endorse the candidate whose values most align with our community’s,” said CHRC chairman Max Coen in a statement to their campaigns. “After meeting with Lee Zeldin, Michael Henry, Paul Rodriguez, and Joe Pinion, that means voting Republican down the ballot.”
“We need candidates who will fight for the pro-yeshiva and pro-safety laws that our community desires. Additionally, our state is in crushing debt, and the cost of living is unsustainable due to the high taxes and high inflation. We need people who are competent, literate, and responsible. We trust that these candidates will run our state efficiently, and allocate money to the correct places instead of the current situation where money is being allotted without any oversight and as personal favors.
“We, therefore, ask the community from the bottom of our hearts to vote Republican down the ballot, from our good friend Lee Zeldin and downwards.”
Signed,

The CHRC full ballot list is:
-Lee Zeldin – Governor
-Paul Rodriguez – Comptroller
-Michael Henry – Attorney General
-Joe Pinion – Senate
-Menachem Raitport – House of Representatives
-Vote No to all proposals on the back of the ballot
Pinion is astute, well spoken and has solid moral values. If you know how the US Senate works, then you know that voting for US Senator you have to consider the party when the numbers are so close. Voting for Schumer because you think you can get more money from him is like furnishing your own cabin while you are voting for the team that is sinking the ship, your cabin included. The Biden administration is jailing and mistreating their political opponents and refusing to give them due process and fair judges. Schumer does not speak out against this practice.… Read more »
What, and I say this with whatever possible respect I can muster, are you talking about? Which political opponents is the Biden administration jailing??
As a start Biden jailed tons of people for the great offense of trespassing congress. At antifa rallies there never are any consequences for serious violence, let alone trespassing congress. Nor does Code Pink ever pay a price for their numerous trespassing stunts in congress. And what about steve bannon? For failing to appear to a congressional subpoena??!! Never ever do these failure to appears get prosecuted. And what about storming mar a lago? And storming Project Veritas to look for any dirt they can find to punish him for his journalism? And what about real lives destroyed by criminal… Read more »
Following the January 6th riot in our nation’s capital, the current American regime of elites has charged more than 700 people with crimes in connection with attempted insurrection. Many of them are languishing in prison, some in solitary confinement, often with very minimal charges, or worse yet, no charges at all. It has been reported that two of those incarcerated have committed suicide. Jail conditions have been reported as including beatings by guards, being scorned and labeled white supremacists, denied religious services (remember this is America and the prisoners are Americans), denied personal hygiene, denied time with attorneys and visits… Read more »
I voted Republican down the line three days ago. Hatzlocha
I can’t for the life of me figure out why any frum yid would vote for a Democrat when they go against everything we believe in
I am a “frum Jew,” (who believes in and studies Torah) and I believe the exact opposite of you.
It’s beyond comprehension! After all the terrible democrat polices , with crime going through the roof and Jewish frum education in jeopardy it really doesn’t make sense how someone can vote to keep these horrible policies in place .
Please explain yourself
Since you are requesting an explanation, I shall provide one. Please note, I am not saying that a “frum Jew” cannot think differently than me. This is primarily what I was responding to, the initial statement that every “frum Jew” would come to the same conclusion and thus vote Republican. As we all know, there are divergent points of view in the Torah, including that of Bet Hillel and Bet Shammai or as another example, how the Alter Rebbe thought and reacted one way regarding Napoleon while all the ‘gedolim’ took a different approach. Now that we have established that it… Read more »
Maybe you need to learn the places in Chassidus that talk about נהמא דכיסופא and אדם לעמל יולד and so forth. Giving handouts without responsibility is חסד דקליפה.
Perhaps you can give me sources and I will. Thanks
Likkutei Sichos, vol. 15, pp. 93ff.
I have quickly looked over the sicha – thank you. I will study it further when I have time. What is your point? Is it that the people who are helped by the government are all lazy and do not want to work and should not be helped? What about people who are sick? Does this all apply to Jews and Gentiles alike? Is it your belief that nobody should receive any Chesed? Or that people should only receive Chesed if ‘everyone’ legitimately qualifies. You have left me confused trying to understand what your point is. Yes, some people are… Read more »
…is that a substantial number – maybe even an overwhelming number – of welfare recipients aren’t working. And that in turn leads to social pathologies that were in fact recognized – by Democrats – as long ago as the 1960s. Then there was a (Democratic) attempt in the 1990s to implement “workfare,” where those who are capable of working would have to do so, but it was shot down. So the elderly and the disabled and so forth are one thing; no one has any objection to that, except in the fantasies of those trying to scare voters back onto… Read more »
Way to shut the door for other people in the ways you were helped with.
Maybe you need to learn the places in Chassidus that talk about machnis v’eino moitzee. Witholding aid from others in the medina shel chesed after it helped you so much is achzoriyus, not midas chasidus.
If they had their way, you wouldn’t be able to learn or practice Torah because it is against all of their secular values
what Democrat policies are in consonance with Torah. Alternative “marriage”? Unrestricted abortion (which is assur for Bnei Noach under all circumstances, and is permitted for Jews only in rare ones)?
And if you’re going to answer that they show love and tolerance and kindness – it is to laugh. Ask some conservative women, or African-Americans, etc., how much of those they’ve seen from the Democrats. Hint: less than zero.
Thank you for giving out this message. We in Crown Heights should use our voting strength to support the Republican candidates.
Yeshivas should teach English period. Vote hochul to educate our kids!!!!!
Shame on you!!! It’s trump that got mr rubashkin out of jail not the dems !!
I completely disagree with the original comment about English (why should I vote for a government which will force me to go against the Rebbe’s directives?), but I disagree with you as well.
The fact that a republican politician did a good thing is not a reason to always vote republican.
You don’t need hochul to teach everyone else’s children when there are so many great online resources that can be used for self- paced mastery learning
Should we not have school and just have meet up for social life as all learning is online??? That is a stupid way of looking at it!!!! I will be voting hochul on Tuesday to save our kids and you should too!!!!!
…you mean “force everyone else to do as you say.” Because there’s nothing preventing you now from sending your kids to a different school. But, like the Maskilim and the Yevseks of old, you look down on your “unsophisticated” fellow Jews and think you have to “educate” them.
Interesting you say that because, if you open your eyes and your mind, you’ll see that half the Ivy League students are directionless and many work in Starbucks while they try to figure themselves out. It seems that the wealthiest and most influential people by far from this neighborhood are the ones who went to.. you guessed it.. Yeshiva. I went to a school where I learned kodesh and secular and I have a decent profession but neither I or most of my peers are half as successful as these ‘uneducated’ (as you describe it) Yeshiva boys.
Thank you for waking up! Our community has been played by the Democrats for years and the enablers have never even gotten anything out of it!
Send your child to public school together with hochuls kids ! Our kids will learn English as republican not democrats who are destroying our children future !
Kol hakavid to this group of fine gentleman who had/have the courage to do the right thing! אלע ברכות!!!
Precious and very welcoming. Thanks guys. Feels good to see there are moral n honest ppl still Around
VOTE FOR TRUMP NOVEMBER 2022/2024
MAGA AGAIN
trump is a danger to our democracy and our Judaism
…if by “our democracy” you mean “untrammeled Democrat power,” then you’re right. And since that’s not an American value, then no problem with that.
And if by “our Judaism” you mean the so-called Jewish value of voting Democrat, well then you’re right again. Genuine Judaism, on the other hand, will do just fine.
I’ve been doing this for years already but I’m probably the only one.
BIDEN WITH OBAMA REFUSED TO RELEASE POLLARD OR RUBASHKIN
NEVER FORGET THAT
TRUMP DID BOTH,
MOVED THE EMBASSY TO JERUSALEM, RECOGNIZED IT AS UNDIVIDED CAPITAL OF ISRAEL AND ENSURED THE STATE DEPARTMENT RECOGNISED IT SO THAT IT COULD BE STAMPED IN US PASSPORTS OF CITIZENS BORN THERE, ENSURED GOLAN JUDEA SAMARIA BELONGS TO ISRAEL….BROUGHT CHINA DOWN TO SIZE AND IRAN AND IS ONLY ONE WHO CAN FIX THE ECONOMY INFLATION JOBS GAS PRICES
AND WILL END THE UKRAINIAN WAR AND CAN DEAL WITH PUTIN
Oh please, trump was only pandering but never addressed americas struggling poor, he allowed gun violence to spiral, his base of supporters are spiteful and hateful as well as violent as well as rednecks, trump is discriminatory when it comes to immigration and he wanted to ban muslims do you know what an offense that is? And he even bashed public schools and stripped them of their money and gave them to private schools even to those that discriminate and allow educational neglect so do not ever praise that piece of garbage.
“Never addressed [A]merica[‘]s struggling poor”? If you mean “didn’t just give them free handouts,” then yes. Because, for one thing, that destroys their humanity. Instead he followed policies that would improve the economy for all, including said struggling poor. “Allowed gun violence to spiral”? That would be in Democrat-run cities. Maybe you need to talk to the mayors of said cities. “His base of supporters are spiteful and hateful… as well as rednecks” Listen to yourself. You don’t think that putting down millions of hardworking Americans as “rednecks” is spiteful and hateful? “Discriminatory when it comes to immigration” It’s called… Read more »
Proposal 4: True Cost of Living: This measure would mandate that the city government use a new method to calculate the “true cost of living” in the city without taking into account public, private or informal assistance a person or household may receive. The RJC advocated for this change, it said, because it concluded that current poverty measures are not accurate for New York City’s needs or policy decisions. A commonly used federal poverty measure developed decades ago does not take regional costs into consideration, it said. To combat that, New York created its own measure — called the NYCgov Poverty… Read more »
the deep state are going after the yeshiva…pls protect us from critical race theory crazies
better a chassidshe story than any secular books !!
I agree that race theory is a pathetic subject and we can not allow bigotry and discrimination to exist in our societies especially in 2022. But we can not allow educational neglect to continue in any school even if they Are not funded because it is immoral and republicans will bring us back to the dark ages that so many have been fighting to get us out of and fight for equal rights, women’s rights, fair pay, rich laying taxes, cut the financial gap, make our society bigot free and multicultural, the best education for all so if you want… Read more »
“fight for equal rights” Which have been the law for 60+ years. Do try to keep up. “Women’s rights” Same thing. Well, with the exception of their right to be born in the first place, where until quite recently it was claimed that there exists no such right. “Fair pay” Same thing. Say, you do know that it’s 2022, not 1922, right? “Rich [p]aying taxes” They do. And there is of course nothing preventing them from voluntarily paying more. When you hear the rich bleating “tax the rich,” what they really mean is “tax everyone else, but let me continue… Read more »
I’m not sure what society you’re living in, but if you truly see America this way then you need to get outside of your small privileged bubble and talk to people who are suffering under republican legislation.
Show us some.
For taking the time and effort to stand up and do what is right for our community. Everyone PLEASE vote! And think long and hard if you are considering voting for Hochul – think why, and rethink……
I speak to many people and many are nervous about DemocRATs winning. This late afternoon I drove by the early voting site for Boro park on 19 ave and lo and behold there was a line of yidden down the whole block waiting to vote. I never saw so many people way over 200 waiting on line. Things look good and let’s keep davening. Very important to vote Republican down the line.
People who vote democrats are voting for Crime, mandates, high taxes, soaring high costs of living and personal liberties being infringed upon. Time to wake up and Think before too late. Vote Republican down the line.
A democratic vote is for high crime, mandates, high taxes, soaring high costs of living and infringing on personal liberties. Time to wake up and Think before too late. Vote Republican all the way down the line.
Most Republicans are open about making
America a “christian” nation again. Just
do a search on “christian nationalism,”
and see for yourself.
So, are Jews going to be better off that way?
Will the legal rights we enjoy now, compared
to a half a century ago, still be honored?
American Christians have a different way of acting out their religion compared to previous places. America was founded on what they call Judeo-Christian values. And that is what most serious Christians want today. Those values are what created the country that Jews have fled to and where we have flourished. There is Jew hatred in America today, and it is growing. But it is no where near as bad as it would be if there were no Judeo-Christian values. The growing Jew hatred comes from people who have been left without a belief in G-d. Our job is to teach… Read more »
You’ve hit the proverbial nail on the head.
It is truly against the Torah to vote for republican policies. Conservatives today are immoral and unjust. Do the country a favor and vote for democrats, they’re our only hope of saving this democracy.
You are right about the republicans that they are the most immoral and not like the democrats are much better but at leaet the democrats are honest about who they are. Republicans pretend to be a people of class but there are so many bad qualities under all of that wool. Their supporters are spiteful, racist, hateful, violent, they allow gun violence and republican states have very high and racist crime, they allow educational neglect while only the privileged and the children of rich people get the best education, they neglect and abandon the needy of the urban cities, they… Read more »
I understand that crime is out of control and everything is expensive mostly because of biden but the issue of educational neglect can not go unaddressed and continue any longer. Yes crime has to be dealt with to the very core and that is common sense but we can not continue in a progressive society with educational neglect and a private system that is immortal and makes its own rules and not in a good way and everyone who supports republicans is supporting having their democracies taken away from them and leadership that address only the privileged and rich and… Read more »
A vote for democrats is a vote for high crime, high inflation, high taxes, vaccine mandates and infringement on individual’s rights. Wake up and Think. Vote Republican all the way down.
for all those that are voting democrats enjoy the life you will get when crime gets even worse then it is now when the lockdowns will get longer and cost of living will be so high you won’t be able to afford food but it’s ok as long as we don’t have a mega governor i pray you get your head on straight
What PAC says, I don’t care about random activists opinions.
My son voted this morning in CHs and the page for governor was missing from his ballot. He had to ask for it to be added in! Is there any way to alert these askanim that there needs to be oversight at the polling places?
