    What hearing? Read the order and you can see that there was no hearing. The order makes no reference to any hearing, or to the judge having the faintest clue what the other side might have to say. These four people went to the court and gave their side of the story, that they are the elected board and the old board is interfering with them, so the judge said that until there can be a hearing the old board should not interfere.

    The judge seems to be under the impression that the status quo is that the new board is running things, and simply seeks to preserve that status quo until she can hear from both sides; she seems to have no idea that the old board are the muchzokim, and the new board simply broke a window and invaded the office with violence. I doubt that the plaintiffs’ affidavits mentioned any of this. I hope when she hears that she sanctions the plaintiffs for lying to her.

    OK. Let’s go forward with the business of the community. There’s too many good things that need to be done.

  • Toshav (of what used to be a schunah)

    Well done! what’s the next step? Ethnic cleansing of our Rabonim? Woe is unto us, residents of crown heights. When all of our children are frai we will be able to look back at this day and understand why!

  • Noson A Kopel.Esq.

    Milhouse, get real. The NY courts will not normally issue a TRO ex parte (without notifying the opposing side and allowing them to be heard). The Rubashkin/Plotkin/Lang lawyers were there, agrued their side, and were appropriately rejected.

  • Ad Kan

    When the newly elected Rav of 2 weeks started fighting with the Rav whom the Rebbe said should be the Rav of the community till Moshiach comes i was told that there was nothing which could be dine as the new Rav was elected, even though he was the only one running in the election.

    If the community holds so strongly by elections then maybe we should also hold strongly by impeachment, another part of the democratic process, and start taking back the community.

    The Rebbe told us who the Rabbanim are. Is it only the Shluchim who can stand up for the Rebbe. If every member of the community who is upset by this srory were to stand up and say AD KAN, the force would be unstopable and the community would once again become the Crown of the Heights.

  • I love them both

    Besides for Brownstein who is nash’s Puppet, a bunch of mug shots, is all I see. I remember when Nash used to say what kind of tzadk Rabbi Ozdoba is. I am not sure what went over this persin??? Cant they understand that all they are doing is ruining the Kohol. I know the reason they are there is because they are fighting for Rabbi shvais salary. So Rabbi Shvai gave them permission to fight for his salary???? Does this make sense??? I remember being explained in the propoganda, that they want to bring Rabbi shvai to help Rabbi Ozdobe. Ah yene help! It reminds me of the phrase, “with friends like these who needs enemies. I love them both, but we have to have a bigger vision!

  • Nothing Better

    You are all in dream land, why do you think there will be changes. THE SAME CHANGES AS OBAMA DID, for the worse. The grass is not any greener with this clan then the old clan, a bunch of false messiah’s, they won’t help you or me one bit.

  • Shmuli

    Millhouse is right. It orders the old Vaad to come to a hearing on the 17th of June in order to clarify the situation. However it does give the new Vaad jurisdiction until the future hearing.

    Nice to see that the only person who can read English is Millhouse! Oholei Torah Chai Vekayam!

  • BTW

    remeber this post

    this election and this vadd ill come back to haunt us for many years.

  • oh my stars

    I do not want any part of this mess. All I have to say is besides the problem with Yeshivas, Modest behavior and general wellfare you guys should lose some weight. You all look at least 40lb over. Lets all get together and go on a diet. Shalom in!!!! Fat out!!!!

    Attention Crown Heights Residents:

    Don’t be fooled by any posts which are trying to distort the actual and factual truth. There was a honest fair and aboveboard election, by legal standards, ethical standards and community standards. There is a faction in the Crown Heights Community that it’s interest lies in keeping the previous Vaad in power to the extent that they have been summoning the winners of this election to court time and again. They lost in Supreme Court, they lost in the Appelate Division, again lost in Supreme Court, again lost in th Appelate Division and last but not least lost the last and very crucial hearing this past Monday. To put a stop to all of their shenanigans, the present Vaad (the winners) petitioned the judge to order that the previous Vaad be enjoined from monkeying around with the offices books and bank accounts of the CHJCC and Vaad Hakohol. The judge granted their motion and scheduled the 17th of June to hear why this petition shouldn’t remain permanent. That is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

    I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING BESIDES #1, FOR IT THEY SUCCED IN ALL THE OTHER 9, THEY WON’T NEED SHCWIE ANYMORE

  • hashem should have rachmanus

    it’s interesting, these are the people (except for poltrak) who used to speak about Kovod harabanim (rabbi osdoba) with the whole machloikes in ’87. (that was when the Rebbe spoke many bitter sichos about respecting a rov and much more – some refering directly to rabbi osdoba). how can people turn around and ad kedei kach of DEGRADING this Rov is baffeling – it can only be the Samach Mem at a desparate last attempt to stop the geula… People are CLUELESS about the halochos of rabonus, rabanim etc… and the sichos the Rebbe spoke about Rabbonim and the shchuna… maybe its time to really research with a pure heart?????? get down to the bottom of this????

  • Nice but...

    I would trust the checkbook to Fishel Brounstein than to the Rubashkin’s any day. I wonder what the bank records for the past 4 years say. In any case, yidden should go to a din torah.

  • Wanda Ring

    Maybe that’s what they need the money for, to make a kosher gym, so we can all get in better shape!

  • Milhouse

    Noson A Kopel.Esq., if the other side had been there and the judge had rejected what they had to say, the order would have mentioned this. There isn’t even a hint of it in the order, therefore it is not true. Despite the headline of this article, THERE WAS NO HEARING. The order makes no mention of any hearing; all it refers to is a bunch of affidavits, and an emergency affirmation. Those affidavits and that affirmation are surely full of perjuries, and when they are detected they should be sanctioned.

  • noson

    Mr. milhouse, keep on dreaming, you have no idea how things work in the courtroom. This was a hearing and the other side aregued their side. Its pretty convinient for you to create those assumptions just to suit your cause. The only one maybe facing sanctions would be your friends that submitted fraudulent papers, and were caught with open lies, which resulted in them losing.

  • Noson A. Kopel, Esq.

    Milhouse’s statements above of 06/10/09 23:20, are in error. His “speculations” regarding the holding of a hearing (albeit brief) are incorrect.

    As to the statements of “noson” above at 06/11/09 08:25, Thank you for helping to set the record straight, but please clarify that you are not me and post at lease a last initial with your name. We already have too many Imposters participating in this sordid affair.
