So now there is a Vaad of newbies who think they know the score. They will soon find that they don’t. The whole learning process will go on for years until somebody screams for new elections. PS: the bylaws of the CHJCC continue to be a deep dark secret. And there was no vetting for possible conflicts of interest.

It’s a pity they didn’t have the seichel to vote in Rabbi Woolstone.
He could probably be of great benefit to the community.
I know him from Sydney. He ran a successful social welfare organisation for decades here and has a wealth of experience. Was matzliach oich mitt gelt and oich with seichel hayoshor. A yerei shomayim and chossid.
