Crown Heights, NY — A new civilian watch group in Crown Heights is bringing together blacks and Jews in a neighborhood once synonymous with racial tension.

If all goes as planned, a Caribbean-American pastor could share a car with an Orthodox Jew on the NYPD Civilian Observation Patrol - or blacks might volunteer for Friday night shifts, when their Jewish neighbors can't work.

Something has to change

We have two Botei Din claiming authority over this community.

We have two factions now fist fighting over the community council.

We have two groups (shomrim, shmira) who are “ensuring” that we are safe, meanwhile ensuring that the other group sits in jail.

CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] – Lawyers representing both the old and new Vaad’s appeared in court yesterday, and each left with the feeling that they were victorious. In arguments the judge dismissed the initial action attempting to bar the elections from taking place altogether, saying it was moot since the elections have already taken place. But the judge ordered a hearing on an action contesting the “legality and validity” if the entire election process.
