CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] — A “Kol Koreh” recently began circulating among Anash condemning the members of the ‘new vaad’ calling them “Malshinim and Mossrim” over the actions they took against a community Gemach, local businesses, and residents by subpoenaing them and dragging them into their fight with the ‘old vaad’.

Unusually harsh words were used and the flyer was signed by many prominent Mashpim and Askonim including Rabbis Pinyeh Korf, Simcha Piekarsky, Sholom Dovber Futerfas, Avrohom Gerlitzky, Chaim Shaul Brook, Michoel Seligson Sholom Dovber Levin, Chaim Dovid Laine, Pinchos Zev Wolff among some more.

By Rabbi Yoseph Kahanov Jax, FL
In the early 1900's, Manhattan’s Lower East Side tenements served as a bastion for Jewish immigrants. A Rabbi, who resided in the ghetto-type community, once attended an ecumenical function at which a notorious anti-Semitic Episcopalian Minister was in attendance.

“What a coincidence!” remarked the minister upon encountering the Rabbi: “It was just last night that I dreamt I was in Jewish Heaven.”

“Jewish Heaven?” mused the Rabbi. “What’s it like in Jewish Heaven?”

“Oh!” replied the minister ever so snidely, "In Jewish Heaven children with dirty faces, shirts un-tucked and clothes un-pressed play in the dirt. In Jewish heaven women haggle with fruit and fish-vendors as panhandlers persistently interrupt.

Minority Among Minorities, Yosef Abrahamson Opens Minds

Yosef Abrahamson (L) with Darchai Menachem school administrator Chaim Perl at this years Police Athletic League Competition in One Police Plaza.

Thoughtful, cool, almost cerebral, Yosef Abrahamson is not your average Crown Heights Brooklyn Lubavitcher Chasidic Orthodox Jewish black teen Republican from Omaha, Nebraska. Then again, the 17-year-old two-time winner of the NYPD’s “Commissioner for a Day” essay contest is not exactly average anything, either.

Born in Omaha into an unbroken matrilineal line descended from German Jewish immigrants and raised by his devoted mom, long-time Nebraska GOP activist and national delegate Dinah Abrahamson, along with older sister Sarah, Yosef grew up in the Cornhusker State’s Republican Party. In the state’s GOP, Yosef joined his mother in hobnobbing with such heavyweights as Hal Daub, Mike Johanns, Lee Terry and later, George W. Bush, over a lifetime of political activism.

Former NYC Mayor David N. Dinkins
In an interview with WNYC public radio former mayor David N. Dinkins goes into detail about his own misdealing of crown heights, and according to most permitting the riots to go on unrestrained.

From the interview “the NYT has partial obituaries on public figures, and given my age I am sure they have one on me, and it would read David N. Dinkins Born July, 10 1927 in Trenton NJ, first black mayor of the city of New York, then immediately Crown Heights, and not about keeping libraries open 6 days a week when we did not have a lot of money, spent $47 million to do so, and this was not done in over a century, instead there would be Crown Heights.”

The former mayor goes into details about inaccuracies that were reported in the media, but admits his own mishandling of the riots, “I screwed up Crown Heights.”
