Elections for directors of the Crown Heights Jewish Community Council and Vaad Hakohol have begun in Crown Heights on Sunday, with residents arriving at the polls beginning at 9 am.
Candidates in the first election in Crown Heights in over 10 years are Dovid Halon, Meir New, Yankel Goldstein, Yitzie Kamman, Shmuel Rosenstein, Berel Hildeshaim, Zalman Friedman, and Pinchos Woolstone.
CHJCC is the social service and representative arm of the community, while Vaad Hakahal serves as the religious arm, supporting the Beis Din, Kashrus (CHK), and services such as Ask the Rav, Taharas Hamishpacha Hotline, Mishpat Shalom, and more.
The Elections Committee: Shloma Hecht, Mendel Wilhelm (Menachem’s Shul), Yossi Chayo, Naftali Berkowitz, Eli Felberman, and Alexander Weisz are running the election which are taking place at Lubavitch Yeshiva – New Hall until 9 PM.
The voter eligibility requirements render the entire election a farce.
Can women vote ? Is it one vote per household?
I love seeing the faces of the community doing something unified and practical. Great going!
Not a woman in sight
Not understanding how this is being allowed to slide in our community. The candidates themselves should be talking about it and insisting upon it. Shamefully embarrassing is the only words I can think of
I don’t think they can possibly stop nyc from continuing to place drug shelters and migrant centers right inside our community or to get rid of the ones that are already there. I don’t think citibikes will stop taking over out parking, that targeted ticketing will lessen or that the increasing attacks and theft of local criminals against our community will be deterred or punished. So what exactly will they have the power to do?
I’ve been asking this to everyone I know and not a single practical answer. The most I got was they’ll try harder than whoever is already in office.
Can any male in ch vote? What are the guidelines
Not a single women. And no one doing much about it either. Shamefully embarrassing
