In First Post Election Meeting, ‘Achdus Team’ Shows no Achdus

In the first post election meeting members of each side sat down with Rabbi Avrohom Rosenberg in the offices of the Vaad Hakohol to discuss the elections and its outcome. Members of the ‘Achdus Team’, who were the ones to call for the meeting, gave various suggestions from remaining in office throughout the summer, to calling for new elections, and even refusing to work with individual Vaad members.

Stunning turnout for the Vaad Hakohol elections left Zaki Tamir, a relative newcomer to Crown Heights politics, holding the reins.

Opinion: “I’m Impressed with Friday Activity for Kids”

by Anonymous

If Crown Heights doesn’t offer everything to everyone, I did want to point out one thing that was offered to the young boys that wish to play with their friends on Friday afternoon. As the boys gear up to grow up to use this time for Mivtzoim – but until then, they get to enjoy their time playing with friends in a nice Jewish atmosphere with an older game leader. Teaching, the boys how to play together as well as deal with a call that doesn’t go their way, something some have difficulties with.
