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.

QUEENS, NY — The Queens assistant principal stricken with swine flu succumbed to the deadly virus today, the first person to die in the city from the disease, hospital officials said.
“We were treating him very aggressively,” said Flushing Hospital spokesman Ole Pedersen. “Unfortunately, he did expire at 6:17 p.m. this evening.”
The sick man, Mitchell Wiener, 55, an assistant principal at IS 238 in Jamaica Estates, first fell ill more than a week ago, but didn’t seek help at the hospital until his symptoms became severe early Wednesday morning.
Since that time, he’s been in a medically induced coma, on a ventilator.
