The main thing in leadership is someone you can respect and look up to
(goes without saying – who is also capable).
history is very important.
who has the cleaner record for G-d sake!
It is so obvious.

A Resident
The Talmud [Shabbos 31A]. A gentile approached Shammai and said to him: “Convert me but teach me the entire Torah as I stand on one foot.” Shammai, feeling that he wasn’t serious, chased him away. This gentile then approached Hillel with the same offer/request but was met with a very different reaction–Hillel agreed. The entire Torah on one foot that Hillel taught him was “that which you hate, don’t do to others”–a paraphrase of the command “V’ahavta l’rayacha Kamocha” [to love your neighbor as yourself]. “That is the entire Torah,” Hillel told him, “the rest is simply an explanation. Go and learn it!”
This Sunday we will be voting in an election that will take this community either up or further down. The results of these elections are the difference between light and darkness, good and evil (yes, Mesira is evil).
Will there be peace once and for all or will we have the same Machlokes, Mesira and regime of people who have pounded us with Machlokes after Machlokes.
[I must make a note: In the propaganda and hate we all saw over Shabbos, the hate mongers attempt to blame Rabbi Bogomilsky, Hershkop/Shomrim, Fisher etc… for “destroying this community”. For the past 10 years plus none of the above have gotten involved in any politics, whether it be regarding the Rabonim or Vaad.
The people who bring you these horror stories (propaganda and hate) have been running the show for the last 10 years all by themselves. Nobody got in their way; nobody wrote any letters against them (not thats its a crime to do so), we all just stood and watched them destroy themselves.
The sole people responsible for the destruction of Crown Heights and its Beis Din are those backing Rabbi Braun and trying to blame everybody for all the problems they caused. Sorry buddies the ball has been in your court for a long time and the results are what they are only because of you.
Anything that they bring up against anybody else pales in comparison to the damage and destruction they managed cause these past 10 years].
This Sunday you get to choose the future of Crown Heights for yourself, for your children and your neighbors. This is NOT about party lines.
I ask you all to have the following in mind:
If you were in need of a representative for a Din Torah, who would you choose as your representative, Rabbi Bogomilsky an experienced Rov for 40 years or would you take the new guy, you know nothing about?
[Just as you would search for a lawyer to represent you in a case. Who would you take the new guy or the guy who have been there and done that?]
The same principle would apply to picking a Rov for life.
Imagine a Beis Din being a Beis Din,
Imagine a Rov Being a Rov. Imagine your children can finally point and say “hay Tatty, there’s our Rov”.
Imagine a Din Torah being a Din Torah; A Psak Din being a Psak Din.
With Rabbi Bogomilsky we will have all the above.
With Rabbi Bogomilsky, we can finally have an end to the 770 court case.
With Rabbi Bogomilsky, we can finally put an end to Mesira.
With Rabbi Bogomilsky, we can finally have a Rov who does not take any slack from anybody.
A Rov who does not have to rely on any one body or group for his bread.
A Rov who has people listening to him and not the Rov listening to people.
THE FUTURE OF CROWN HEIGHTS IS IN YOUR HANDS!

To #1 “knowing” is not enough.
rabbonim
why would we want to vote for a potentual rav who made machlokes in sydney?we need a rav who know hows to get along.
older is wiser!! my vote goes to rabbi bogomolsky.
To #2
For your information: Both Rav Marlow AH and Rav Osdoba – do NOT have Yadin Yadin either, Rav Heller – does. Rav Schwei – I’m not sure.
So it doesn’t make a difference anyway.
ch resident
a vote for broun is a vote for hendel the bal machlokes
mother in ch
would Rabbi Rosenberg have let Rabbi Braun run if he did not have yadin yadin????? Folks please be respectful to all of the Rabbis.
Zvi Isaacson
what is r.bogomilsky do more than he did till now for the c.h. residents? and for bringing peace in the beth din etc..
meir
vote bogomilsky he knows what he needs.
why i choose rabbi bogomilsky
I’m voting for Rabbi Bogomilski with the hope that CH will finally have a real and strong Bais Din. Even though I respect Rabbi Brown and Rabbi Chaviv, I don’t believe they have the experience and age to improve and fix the current problem that faces the CH Beis Din. Perhaps down the line, once we’ll have a proper functioning Bais Din, it will be nice to get a young Rov with new ideas and energy.
Right now we first need to fix our problem
With regard to to R’ Marlow, please remember that R’ Bogomilski is the one pushing for Sholom right now, while others are still fighting R’ Osdoba (is that any better or more Kosher than fighting Rabbi Marlow A’H). If you’re supporting those interest groups, then you’re doing the same thing that you’re accusing R’ Bogomilsky off. Besides that its time to move on and no point to go back 10 or 20 years. Vote for Sholom and for a potential functioning 3 Rabonim instead of 2.
OyGevald
I heard a good one this Shabbos.
Elie P.: Did you hear what they are saying about the Hershkops/Shomrim?
CH Resident: No, what are they saying?
Elie P.: they are saying that the Hershkops/Shomrim have and listen to a Rov, it’s a BIG CRIME, we must stop this before it gets out of hand.We can’t have people listing to Rabonim!
[really this ends here but i’m having so much fun with this…so…]
CH Resident: What you going to do about it?
Elie P.: Well an attempt to lock them up for 15 plus years failed so we will now leash a full – no mercy- attack on the bus driver, Chaim Hershkop.
CH Resident: ooookay, good luck with that, you should succeed with master plan as you did the last elections.
Elie P: (screaming) Remember you must vote for a Rov YOU can control, NOT a Rov which controls you!
Father in CH
T0 #10: Change your title to UNINFORMED mother in CH, Because for the record braun DOES NOT have Yadin Yadin…. so be a good wife and tell your husband not to vote for him
A different CH mother
My husband is voting for peace. He is voting for Rabbi Bogomilsky & I agree. Maybe if we have a cohesive, sane, caring Bais Din we can have Achdus in the streets & kids behaving & growing up to be Frum Yidden.
Another thing, GET RID OF MENDEL HENDEL. All HE has done is promote hate, meseira, & divisiveness. Can’t he be deported?
#15, well said.
sad
its sad that they have to put shomer shabbos in “the shchuna”
QUESTION FOR #2
i should be embarrased to ask this question but i am not sure what yadin yadin is or what yora yora is.better to be a little embarrased rather than not know what yadin yadin is or what yora yora is.
cher
to #5
I agree with you 100000% thats why i am proud to tell you and all the members of the shul where i daven that I VOTED FOR RABBI B.
just one clarification:
YOU WROTE – – – – Imagine your children can finally point and say “hay Tatty, there’s our Rov”.
is ALL practicallity – – – I AM NOT BEING A PESSIMISTE I AM BEING A REALIST BY SAYING – – – – Imagine your GRANDchildren can finally point and say “hay ZAIDY, there’s our Rov”.
