Here is a video from a debate last week where Jane Deacy says she opposes gay marriage and Phil Goldfeder refuses the question. Phil is a fraud in community.

20 what did I or anyone else say that is a lie or Mesirah? I am a FR resident who is undecided who to vote for, while I have a great deal of respect for many individuals and mosdot who support Goldfedder, i have a real issue with the fact that he and people who speak for him seem to contradict themselves. I do not see how that makes me a moser or a bottom feeder.

I don’t really have much to add that has not been said (in one form or another) already, but it seriously boggles my mind how any supposedly frum jew can (i) start taking potshots at another frum jew and (ii) do so when the impact could harm an entire community – b/c, bottom line, if Phil does not win this election, the entire FR community will essentially get shut out of state funding. It really is that simple.

What is even more egregious is that this commenter clearly doesn’t know any of the facts on the ground, making him at best a dangerous ignoramus and, at worst, someone who is intentionally trying to harm an ehrliche yid and an entire community.

What absolute and utterly shameful behavior.

I don’t normally comment on online articles but this is an emergency exception! Anyone with half a brain can see that this is an 11th hour attempt by his bottom feeder opponent Jane Deacy to sway the votes. And you’re all falling for it!!Those of us in Far Rockaway who have the priviledge of knowing Phil Goldfeder know him to be a special neshomah and a REAL mentch! He will do wonders for us all.The same cannot be said for his VERY anti-semetic opponent! Anyone remember Mayor David Dinkins?? That turned out well for Crown Heights didn’t it?? ALL of these accusations are based on complete LIES!! We are aware of whats at stake here and are doing our best to make sure the RIGHT candidate wins!! Morty Katz you need to stop what you are smoking and take up a hobby. You know nothing about anything and are making a dangerous situation much worse!!!! VOTE PHIL GOLDFEDER!!!!!!!!

First of all L’ev Malachim Beyad Hashem. Hashem is in charge here people. He is the one we serve. And Yeruchem is an upstanding yid, with a beautiful and G-d fearing family. And that same Hashem that he serves will NOT be pleased with all the unnecessary name calling, Loshon Hara, rather Motzi Sheim Ra that is being perpetuated in this forum. Ask anyone in Far Rockaway, close friend or not to Yeruchem or his family, and they will tell you what a yashar and tamim person he is. I am SICKENED by this fighting we are doing with each other. When the real person who should be fought against is Jane Deacy and her campaign, who are obviously hiding under false, Jewish sounding user names. People, don’t you see the manipulation here????? She feels threatened now and wants this race to unravel by throwing uncertainty our way.Don’t let her win. Vote, Vote, Vote Phil Goldfeder!

I am quite APPALLED that the bottom feeders of the “frum” world have stooped so low. For Jews who have absolutely no ties to the Far Rockaway community to spread OUTRIGHT lies about an upstanding servant of klal yisroel for no gain whatsoever to themselves is THE DEFINITION OF MESIRA!!!

I am a close friend of Yeruchum’s and I cannot point to too many of my friends or acquaintances who have a bigger heart or more yashrusdike values than him. He has devoted his life to helping people and now he has a chance to change the lives of an ENTIRE frum community for the better – WHAT GALL IT TAKES FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS COMMUNITY TO GET IN THE WAY OF THAT????

Phil has the unequivocal support of Rabbanim, Askanim, Talmidei Chachamim, Political Activists and EVERY member of the community who has watched him grow into the outstanding person he is. This is not a forum for bored, angry people with their own agendas to voice their venemous lies. You are playing with the lives of real people, men, women and children who rely and Phil’s support and live-saving help, day to day (THAT IS NOT AN EXAGGERATION!)

I IMPLORE those of you who are involved in this dangerous and destructive undertaking to PLEASE STOP, for the sake of the lives of your fellow yidin, and for the sake of DAAS TORAH. And those of you who are members of our precious community to IGNORE THE ABSOLUTE LIES – and for your own good and the good of the Far Rockaway community – GET OUT AND VOTE FOR OUR OWN YERUCHUM GOLDFEDER. STOP THE MESIRA!!! HASHEM IS NOT PROUD OF THIS!!!

If Goldfedder and the askonim would simply come out and say that as a Democrat, Phil was forced to not oppose gay marriage and be against vouchers, but in exchange for that he will get funding for the yeshivas, I personally could live with that. Where I have a problem is that Phil seems to say one thing when he talking to the general community and another when he is talking to the Frum. In the candidate forum in the local non Jewish paper, Phil said he was anti voucher, that he would not work to change the gay marriage law and was not sure how he would have voted had he been asked to vote on it. On the other hand, when he is speaking to Frum people he says that he 100% would have voted no and will do everything to lower tuition. We all understand that politics is a dirty game, but there is a large potential for a Chilul Hashem when it is a Frum candidate doing the double talk.
