The following is a statement by Chaim Deutsch in response to Ari Kagan’s call, earlier today, to apologize for his remarks at the candidate forum last night:
“I was merely pointing out the fact that Ari Kagan only uses his Hebrew name when it is politically convenient for him to do so. That should raise questions about what his motives are.”
“The fact remains that I am the only frum candidate in the race for the 48th City Council seat with a 22 year record of community service.”

No question that he is the only frum candidate and he does have a 22 year record of community service. He’s the best choice for us.
if this is true, then there is no reason to apologize, Mr Kagan is obviously trying to pull something over on the Jewish community
Why does Deutch keep referring to his religion when running for political office? What’s his religion got to do with it?
ALL political candidates advertise their name in various languages. Deutch needs to get with the program.
To ujm
This is because when Ari Cagan ran for Assembly he didn’t spell his name in hebrew & is only doing it now when it is convenient for him to do so.
Eli51: All political candidates target ethnic voters in their district with ethnic language advertising. Kagan’s Assembly district does not include a large Yiddish/Hebrew (or French or Italian) speaking voter base, so he didn’t advertise in those languages. The council district he currently is running in does have such a large voter base, so he advertises in it as such. Capich?
No one still answered why Deutch keeps ranting that he is Orthodox. He isn’t running for rabbi. Why doesn’t Deutch advertise he is White so what White people should vote for him? Or that he is male so than men should vote for him.
hes mearly pointing out that hes the only candidate whos qualified to represent the jewish community and is on the same page as us and understands our needs…hes by far the most qualified candidate
