Crown Heights has, unfortunately, seen controversy in virtually every aspect of its political structure under the present administration, leading many to doubt whether a new election can take place. Among the potential obstacles are divisions within the Beis Din, which would rule on any disputes or halachic questions; the Vaad HaKahal; and the Netzigim themselves, who are charged by the bylaws with the task of conducting elections. However, Netzigim leaders insist that the scheduled election will take place as required.
Vaad HaKahal Election Anticipated
As required under the bylaws of the Crown Heights Jewish Community Council, the terms of that organization’s board of directors—who also comprise the Vaad HaKahal—expire three years from their election, or January 30, 2008. Accordingly, the Netzigim must shortly begin preparing for a new election.
