Most votes should get in!!

Why not take the top 3, the ones who got the most votes they should be the new vaad and finished! End of story.

If your gonna tell me that the bylaws says something else then Hecht should also not have been able to run.

Even with a run off, I’m sure that Bronstein and Hackner will get it.

Hashem Always helps us!!

we dont like the message

Can somebody tell me how does the old Vaad think try can keep their power? What are they trying to do? Get an edict from Bloomberg?

Eli Cohen - from the other side!!!

no one is impartial!!! but everyone should accept the decision handed down by the Beis Din and even if the decision is “against” the party that Eli Cohen has an allegiance to, i am sure GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY by who ever, he will continue to serve the community in the COMMUNITY’S best interest!

Anyone who decides they cant work with him, show that they do not have the community’s best interest at heart and has no comprehension of what the term “ACHDUS” means!

It occurred once, when someone laid the blame of a tragedy on some negative hanhogoys among chassidim, that the Rebbe became terribly upset. “Who is he to say what causes what?…”

is there an absentee ballot?

Ditto to #8

Just make it lower case, but so sad, so true. Enough is enough of the terrible sinus chinom. I feel like the three weeks began before the “election”.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!

honesty

Unlike the present vaad Hakohol Eli Cohen is honest & trust worthy Delaying any further will give them what they want more opportunity to stir up trouble.They agreed in writing to abide by the decisions of the Bais din & are looking for any way around that

I think what is meant by ‘puzzling outcome’ is that there was only one winner so far and nobody knows when/how this will be resolved.
i only hope it is resolved quickly and peacfully.

to quote: “the puzzling outcome of the Crown Heights”…

What was puzzling? That Crown Heights stood up, together, to oust the bad-guys?

You should be honest with your reporting… What is “puzzling” is that the old-vaad does not want to “efen dee aygelach” [ open their eyes ] and see that this really is gonna be a new crown heights…

Eli Cohen is NOT impartial. So whatever he says should take that into account.

Who will be by the runoff?
June 21, 2010 12:52 pm

Which candidates will be by the runoff you can vote for?

UNFAIR!!!
June 21, 2010 12:51 pm

This is EXACTLY why this date was chosen. Because it’s a holiday weekend. Some people want to destroy.

IF YOU WANT YOUR VOTE HEARD, GET BACK EARLY ENOUGH TO VOTE!

Ever heard of POSTAL BALLOTS???

Are You Sure????

Rabbi Rosenberg was to suggest to the other dayanim that a caretaker vaad consisting of Tamir,. Brownstein or Bennaroch, Hecht and Hackner sho;uld take over immediately, and then in Ellul a run-off would be held at the same time as the election for a third rav and the lowest vote-getter would be dropped.
