At 10:30 this morning one of the candidates running for the Elections in the Vaad Hakohol announced his resignation citing the Psak Din, which we reported on early this morning.
His announcement stated: “With much disappointment I regret to inform you that last night (5/19/09) I received a Psak Din (dated 5/18/09) prohibiting my involvment with the upcoming elections. The Psak labels the election as Illegal. Considering that Unity and Humility must (at times) come before freedom, I beg the apology of all the people that supported me and all the caring hearts that yearned swift change. I hereby announce my resignation from candidacy to the CHJCC.”

Mazal Tov! – It’s A Boy!
We would like to wish Mazal Tov to Yossi and Shleema Vogel on the birth of their son.
May the newborn be a source of Nachas to his parents, grandparents and Klal Yisroel.
A few years ago, my son came home from Yeshiva. He told me about the discussions of the day in Yeshiva concerning the arguments between Rabbi Osdoba and Rabbi Schwai regarding the necessity of a filter for tap water. My son told me that the discussion became very heated amongst the bachurim and everyone began taking sides. I asked my son, “Which side did you take?“ He answered me, “When it comes to Rabbanim, I don’t take sides.”
I also have tried very hard to stay neutral, and B”H maintain a good relationship with both Rabbonim.

My Dear Friends & Neighbors,
Thank you for joining me tonight, together with my esteemed colleagues, all running for a seat in the Vaad Hakhol. I am pleased to see that there is a positive move to clear up the internal politics and strife that has been eating away at our community for so many years.
Op-Ed: A Letter to my Supporters
Note: This is a speech I would have given to my supporters, as a contestant in the Vaad Hakhol elections. This speech is purely hypothetical, as I unfortunately cannot see the value of spending time and effort in running for a seat, being that there is so much politics, name-calling and smearing going on. Please use it as some food for thought.
