Dear Mr. Berger,
This shall serve as a response to your letter addressed to Dr. Lang but distributed to my clients and the community at large. Your letter is patently false and a blatant attempt to intimidate my clients and sow confusion in the community with respect to the upcoming elections.
As you well know, I appeared in the Appellate Division pro se, as well as on behalf of all of the other Respondents—except for Zaki Tamir and those represented by Mr. Rudofsky. This is reflected in the RADI form and was clearly stated during our conference with the court attorney.

NEW YORK, NY [CBS] — New York City synagogues are stepping up security in the aftermath of this week’s terror plot arrests. Even with the suspected mastermind and three others behind bars, police aren’t taking any chances.
NEW YORK, NY — Struggling to subdue a crazed suspect, an NYPD cop broke a cardinal rule of law enforcement and handed his gun to a Manhattan janitor, telling his stunned new deputy, “I need some help here,” The Post has learned.
Even though his idea of backup usually involves clogged drains, Placido Contreras, 51, said he took hold of the weapon and pointed it at the floor after the cop told him, “Keep your eyes on him and shoot him if you have to.”

Dear Dr. Lang:
You asked me for an advisory opinion about the current status of the Injunction (T.R.O.) that we obtained tins past Wednesday restraining tile Sunday elections called by Yisroel Best, as well as tile lawsuit in general as it pertains to the elections.
With regard to the injunction, the Appellate Division yesterday issued a “stay” of the “TRO” to the four persons who appealed, those being Respondents Yisroel Best, Yisroel Sandhaus, Yisroel Landau and Eli Poltarok. As none of the other 14 Respondents (candidates) appealed the injunction, a very strong argument can be made that the Appellate Division’s Order does not protect or apply to them. The other 14 Respondents are: Kalman Bialestock, Fishel Brownstein, Zev Cadaner, Yossi Keller, Yossel Motchkin, Yaacov Rogalsky, Mendel Shagalov, Chanina Sperlin, Zaki Tamir, Uri Niazov, Gershon Chaimson, Motel Chein, Zalman Lipsker, and Y. Boruch Spielman.
Attorney David Berger's statements regarding the Order issued by the Appellate Division, regarding the election tomorrow, are unfortunately mistaken. All of the respondents were represented at the Appellate Division. I appeared for Yisroel Best, Yisroel Sandhaus and Yisroel Landau. Elie Poltarak, who is also an attorney, appeared on his own behalf and on behalf of all of the other respondents. Thus, everyone was represented and is without doubt the beneficiary of the Appellate Division Order which stayed the TRO issued by the lower court the previous day. Anyone who doubts the above should go to the Court and check the Request for Appellate Division Intervention (RADI) form, which clearly identifies the parties and their attorneys.
CrownHeights.info published a letter by attorney David Berger. Responding to that letter is attorney Edward Rudofsky.
