MIAMI BEACH, FL [WSVN] — What was smeared on the walls at the home of a South Florida rabbi has left a community outraged, and police are calling this a possible hate crime.

“We saw, on the window right here, it was smeared all across here,” Rabbi Aaron Rabin said making a sweeping gesture in front of his large picture window at the front of his home. “Dog feces smeared all over this window and on the floor here.”

The following is a letter that was released late last week by Rabbi Avrohom Osdoba clarifying his position regarding the upcoming elections for the Vaad Hakohol and Gaboim. In response Rabbi Aharon Yaakov Schwei redistributed his letter from the last elections. Last night there was a meeting where the candidates of the upcoming elections got to introduce the basis of their campaigns. An article with videos will soon follow.

To the members of the community,

I would like to clarify my position regarding holding the elections, that have been discussed lately.

In my opinion one should not vote in these elections (for Vaad Hakohol etc and Gaboim) for the simple reason: the idea of elections is to give an equal opportunity to upstanding and honest individuals to be elected to the important role of Gaboim and community activists. In the present situation there is no possibility to maintain this fundamental provision.
