The sad part is that NO ONE was really responsible for achieving this “success”…

The election baord never had a signed lease from the organization, and they sent out notices none-the-less… if the board had a signed lease, they wouldn’t have backed out…. and yeah no one would have voted.

I hope that there is now some rabbi in the neighborhood who will open up his handicapped-accesssible synagogue to the Elections Board.

If the Agudah did it then thank you Agudah. Give credit where credit is due.

“We have a deep love and respect for our Jewish neighbors,” said development officer Marilyn Miller. “We understand that coming into a Messianic Center might be uncomfortable for some. …”

Oh sure they have a deep love! Far too much of it in fact since they are after us like wolves after sheep!

What this article omits is the skilled diplomatic and effective efforts of a dedicated Agudah Askan, who wants no credit for his tireless work.

I know the truth! I watched him work behind the scenes & resolve this while others took the credit.

Thank you Mr. Askan and thank you Agudah!

I live in this district & I personally complained to a local Askan that works for the Agudah. Withing HOURS the problem was resolved. Thank you Agudah for once again being there for the Klal.

“Jewish voters complained to the board, noting their strict faith wouldn’t allow them to vote at the center.”

Most of unzere guys don’t vote anywhere, center or no center.
