AUSTRALIA — On Friday, Cheder Chabad in Sydney had their grand finale for the ‘Kovod Ze Lzeh’ program. With boys walking away with glass chess sets, pictures of the Rebbe, and lots of other prizes.
The polls have officially closed and the estimated count of those who came out to vote is around 2000, by far the largest turnout for any elections in Crown Heights history.
Over the next hours the ballots will be counted and the tally will be announced when done.

More than 100 teenagers from Jewish youth groups across New York City’s tri-state area descended on a wooded park in West Milford, N.J, for two hours of paintball fun and a massive barbeque designed to boost their collective Jewish pride.
To Crown Heights Residents, Toshvei HaShechuna Sheyich’ :
We are holding community elections to choose candidates for Vaad Hakahol / CHJCC and for Gabboim, to run the crown jewel of crown heights, 770 Eastern Parkway – the Rebbe’s shul.
I will ask of you to please read the following with the attention that it deserves, and don’t judge the ideas by the writer but by the content.
The Rebbe once said that everything which happens in Crown Heights has an effect on the entire world. In a footnote, the Rebbe adds that (being that this generation is the last generation of golus, and the first generation of geulah, hence the culmination and climax of all generations therefore, the Rebbe emphasizes that) everything that happens in Crown Heights has an effect (not only on this generation but also) on all the previous generations.
