The big question is “Who do we vote for”? There seems to be a lot of opposition against Simcha Felder even amongst the frum people. Dov Hikind is endorsing Kevin Parker. This really confuses the situation!
To all those that work in Manhatten: Just remember, that Simch Felder voted for congestion pricing! Think about what that would of done to your wallet if it would have passed!
What you need to understand is the Jewish community has stopped going to the polls. Our ability to gain access to our elected officials has become diminished. Other communities are registering thousands of new voters and we cannot afford to lose our political clout.The point is we must show that we vote. Every precinct in our neighborhoods are analyzed down to the block.The numbers don’t lie.If we have a specific candidate to support all the better but the most important point is we must vote.The Askanim , activists and community leaders are asking us to vote because it will help us. What is the question?
This year being Presidential, next year being Mayoral with the Senate and gubernatorial to follow our Koiach to get things done and catch the eye of the officials lies with you.We must teach our children the importance of voting as well.Our parents and grandparents considered it an honor and a privilege to vote. The Gedoilim of the last generation called upon Jews to vote as a Chiyuv and a Mitzvah. Be Makayem the directive of Rav Moshe Z”L and Rav Yaakov Z”L and help your Tzibbur.
There is no excuse. It does not cost you money, the myth of Jury duty is just that, a myth. You must VOTE!
It’s obvious that the Rabbonim on this KOL-KORAH want you to vote for SIMCHA FELDER because if not why are they writing this now for this election.
It has only Boro-Park Rabbonim on it
What’s nice about this KOL-KORAH is, that you have a lot of rabbonim from different sects on one Kol-Korah Like Satmar & Agudah both Bobovs and more.
A real KIDUSH HASHEM!!
Please check that your candidate of choice is actually running in your district before showing up at the polls. Many districts have no candidates running and those polls are closed. Literature for Simcha Felder was widely distributed in the frum community and reached people in districts where he is not a candidate. For example if you live in the Ocean Parkway and Avenue N area and normally vote at PS 226 (23rd Avenue and 61st Street) the polls are closed today – there are no primaries in ED 079 or AD 47.
I don want to go to vote!! Every time I vote I get at least 10 Jury duties via mial even when I was Jury just a few days before!! Then I have to spend an entire day sitting in court just waiting to check there records to see that I was just there! I wiil lose my job bec. missing so many days my pay is forget it!!! So let Simcha Felder first stop this madness then will go out for him!!!!

Then there was no competitive primary in your Assembly and Election Districts.
I had the same thing.
And for those not registered, register now so that you can vote, IHY, on Tuesday November 4th.
You can also choose to get an absentee ballot so you can do it ahead of time when it is convenient for you.
