The following is a letter that was released late last week by Rabbi Avrohom Osdoba clarifying his position regarding the upcoming elections for the Vaad Hakohol and Gaboim. In response Rabbi Aharon Yaakov Schwei redistributed his letter from the last elections. Last night there was a meeting where the candidates of the upcoming elections got to introduce the basis of their campaigns. An article with videos will soon follow.
To the members of the community,
I would like to clarify my position regarding holding the elections, that have been discussed lately.
In my opinion one should not vote in these elections (for Vaad Hakohol etc and Gaboim) for the simple reason: the idea of elections is to give an equal opportunity to upstanding and honest individuals to be elected to the important role of Gaboim and community activists. In the present situation there is no possibility to maintain this fundamental provision.
