CH Shuls and Vaad Hakohol: A New Chapter in Community Leadership 

Marking a new era of community involvement and leadership, Crown Heights Shul representatives (Netzigim) invited the new Vaad Hakohol/CHJCC Board of Directors to an inaugural meeting to build on the success of the recent election. The meeting was graciously hosted by Tzeiri Anash on Tuesday evening 26 Sivan, July 2nd.

The first part of the gathering saw a significant step forward for Crown Heights: a vote establishing a Bylaws Committee dedicated to reviewing the rules governing community elections and voting. The goal is to update the bylaws to reflect the current needs and realities of our times. 

Shul Representatives spoke about the need for broad representation in this transformative process. With every shul sending a representative, every segment of the community can have a voice and a stake in shaping our collective future, fostering an environment of transparency and collective decision-making. 

If your shul is not yet participating, please speak with the shul management and encourage them to join. 

Please contact netzigimfiles@gmail.com for more information on joining. 

Brainstorming future initiatives, the Representatives discussed ideas like developing a unified platform bringing Crown Heights shuls and the broader community together. This would strengthen the bonds within our community and create a more cohesive and supportive environment for all members. 

As the Vaad Hakohol and CHJCC Board of Directors joined the session, the Shul representatives extended congratulations on behalf of the community, as well as the community’s eagerness to support their success. The floor was then opened for the Vaad to share their vision and the early progress they have made on various fronts. Representatives relayed questions and suggestions from their respective shul members, offering insights into how the Vaad can further enhance its role in benefiting the community. 

The meeting concluded on a high note, characterized by a palpable sense of unity, energy, and mutual understanding—a true embodiment of ‘achdus’. This gathering not only signifies a step forward in community engagement but also sets a precedent for future collaboration and dialogue. 

Shul representatives offer heartfelt gratitude to an anonymous sponsor of the refreshments, whose generosity reflected the spirit of giving and community that is the lifeblood of Crown Heights.

  • What a joke

    This is a complete joke. Nearly two months since the election, and nothing has changed. Why hasn’t the entire CHJCC staff been fired? The website remains outdated, there’s still no new Rov, and who do these so-called Netzigim even represent? This is a clown show. They’re all pretending to make progress while nothing improves. Enough with the incompetence and empty promises—it’s time for real actio

      Exactly! This Vad Hakol should have brought Moshiach already! They didn’t do it and now we’re suffering in the golus miserably. Shame on them!

      Firs and foremost get your colander straight. Where was your name on the ballot. BIG TALKER.

  • תכלית

    Real politicians whining and dining, talking about everyone else’s problems while patting themselves on the back. What about us, the constituents? It’s been weeks, and we’ve seen no progress or change. My fear is this will drag on for the next 14 years. The election felt like a summer color war—a nice spectacle, but where’s תכלית!!!!

      try asking in your school office.
      most of the schools will help you with it to some extent

    I will tell you what I expected accomplished during this brief time: Community Safety! More police patrols! Stronger Shomrim!

    Community Safety does not take months or years of planning!

    Yidden in the community get attacked. That must be stopped. IMMEDIATELY!

    There is no excuse why this has not been accomplished.

    Demand more patrols! A volunteer drive for Shomrim!

    It can be done TODAY, NOW!
