Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney met with leading rabbonim of the community in Monsey, on Monday, amongst them HaRav Chaim Shia Halberstam of the Satmar community, the Pupa Rov, HaRav Wosner of the Satmar community and the Belzer Dayan. They all expressed their upmost appreciation to Congressman Maloney for what he has done for the Orthodox Jewish community over the past decade.
The Congressman was accompanied at some of the meetings with Rabbi Moshe Margaretten of the Tzedek Association. Rabbi Margaretten passionately expressed the numerous times that Congressman Maloney lead the effort to free individuals with excessive sentences from prison. He compared him to being a “Nachson”, often times being the first in Congress and his party to sign letters, take charge and see matters of Pidyon Shvuyim to fruition. The Rabbonim were deeply moved by his successful efforts in the area of pidyon shvuyim, each Rov separately thanked the Congressman for various successful advocacy he has done for their various kehilos.
Congressman Maloney spent time at every stop discussing the issues on the minds of the great rabbonim, amongst them first and foremost the issue of chinuch in our Yeshivas. The congressman assured the rabbonim, although this is an issue on the state level he vowed that he will never allow federal funding to be cut for Yeshivas and pledged to the Rabbonim that he will continue fighting and standing up for Yeshivas, and stressed that the Yeshiva education is an extremely important issue and not one to play politics with. The Congressman also pledged he will individually work with the rabbonim in his next term in Congress and looks forward to building on his decade plus record of accomplishments of delivering meaningful actual results. The rabbonim thanked him for his forceful stand against the attacks on our Yeshivah system and our way of life. They all gave him a bracha for victory and continued success.
Several of the Askanim throughout the meetings expressed sorrow that Congressman Maloney is disingenuously being tied to the yeshiva education crisis facing New York. They acknowledged this is an Albany issue, not a federal issue. They said that Congressman Maloney has a stellar reputation working with defending chasidishe Yeshivas for 10 years and as Gedaliah Szegedin the Village Administrator from Kiryas Joel remarked “Congressman Maloney has been a leading proponent for us. From our infrastructure needs, to attacks on our way of life to taking the lead on Pidyon Shvuyim- We never had to wonder if he was there for us. He has proven this over and over. While we are sad that we will be loosing an effective Member of Congress- we are excited for our friends in Monsey to gain a proven champion for our way of life.”

Despicable . HE is married to a MAN. Why do Chasidim love supporting people who do and are for disgusting things. Would you want your children learning about that? I don’t think so. It’s all about the dollar signs… VOTE ALL REPUBLICAN.
Did the menuval come with “his” husband? How can they even allow the Sodomite into their homes?!
gross
Just seeing “satmar” in the long list of names, is an immediate give away of Just how corrupt this entire אסיפה is.
I shall abide by the פסק of the venerated HoRav Avigdor הכהן Miller זצללה”ה and so definitely shall not be voting for a Mizhkav Zochor-nick
Why is there no video of them dancing מה יפית before the פרוץ???
Margaretten compares him to Nachshon? אוי לאזנים שכך שומעות, אוי לעינים שכך קוראות.
Who made him a Jewish leader? Better let him go back to his Afghan football (US: Soccer) buddies and stay away from mixing in to Yiddishe zachen.
and what about him being totally in line with Biden? That’s okay with them?!
are they aware he is a “proud” pride mishkav zachornik

Do these Rabbonim know he is a menuval? Perhaps no one has informed them.
He should be shown appreciation for what he’s done, but that can’t guarantee a vote, because he may still be a rubber stamp for ideas that are against the Torah. In any case, people should follow the Rabbonim in their community and let it play out, not angry commentators on YWN.
he should of came with his husband and “son”
I said it before and got attacked money talks and these supposed leaders have sold their soul.
They probably don’t differentiate any goyim when it comes to their personal choices. Sometimes it’s the devil you know. It could be for their institution it’s better to vote for a familiar state. This isn’t a theocracy
funny how he had to leave his district to find some rabbis willing to meet with him!
lakewhut he is NOT an incumbent in Monsey, the Monsey assemblyman Lawler is a good person married to a woman with a child.
@lakewhut, Maloney represents the next district over, Lawler represent Ramapo in the State assembly
This is disgusting. I am not a heilege chasidishe rebbe who goes to the mikve 10 times a day yet cannot fathom how they can bring themselves to shake the hands of such a disgusting ba’al aveira!
