1. Congrats to Councilman-Elect David Greenfield.

2. Congratulations David! Job well done victory well earned. Wishing you much success.

3. Im actually shocked. Good Job David.

4. Mazal Tov David. Your actions until now spoke more than words and that’s why you are now our new councilman elect.
   May Hashem guide you every step of the way, and may you be able to serve your constituents and their needs with health and happiness.

   On another note, Joe Lazar we hope you continue working to help the klal as you did until now.

5. I am happy he won I am happy Hikind er Lazar has no monopoly, thats 0-2 for Hikind does anyone want to challenge him?

6. Mazel Tov David!

   Integrity and Honesty prevailed!

   May you continue to be Matzliach to serve us as you did till now and grow to greater heights. And I know you will, but remember, you are the people’s candidate and don’t break under pressure from the Hikind allies. You took on Brad Lander and continue fighting such policies that are immoral and anti-religious views.

   Hikind, sorry for your loss, next time know better, threats and intimidations are history! People are tired and fed up with the way you play politics with us. Brace for a campaign, because you’re next!

   We all see that ‘Sheker Ein Lo Raglayim’ and they fell big-time!

   Signing Mitoch Simcha that finally most fellow Jews got together to support true Achdus,
   Dave Hirsch

7. Mazel tov may god give you the wisdom to help all the inhabitants of boropark

8. Mazal Tov David we cant wait to see you change the face of this city.

   Well deserved, and we wish you all the best!

10. mazel tov

11. Next up is Hikind.
    Pack your bags.

12. Yes! Congratulasions our dear R’ Duvid!
    R’ Duvid! You didn’t simply win, but with a landslide!
    That’s all because you’re an ‘ish emes’ & people are not blind!…
    R’ Duvid we gave you the win with a landslide, cause we really believe in you.
    Now it’s your time to keep your promices & show us what you can do!
    R’ Duvid! The community is looking forword working ‘together’ with you!…

13. that deplorable other website and hikind lose.
    Greenfield and YWN win BIGTIME!!!

14. GO DAVID!

15. my kids yeshiva told us to vote lazar, but when i shut the curtain i pulled it for greenfield.

16. AGUDAH LOSES MAJOR.
    Vhamayvin yavin

17. David will make us all proud.
    May he have much success in representing all of us i”h.

18. Mazal tov!! David is a true yid and that shown thru today! Hatzlacha!

19. This proofs my point. The so called community leader don’t lead anybody but them self. If you want to win elections you have to listen to the small guy.

20. Mazel Tov and congrats! My whole family voted for Greenfield. I’m. So happy he won! Baruch Hashem. I really look forward to seeing the positive changed that Greenfield will make for his constituents. He’s a real class act who cares about the Klall.

21. terror has been defeted in boro park tonight

22. Councilman-Elect David Greenfield
    Mazel Tov Mazel Tov Mazel Tov
    may hashem help you to go From strength to strength .
    i am so happy the days of Hikind are over.
    and hope and pray to see the end of the Hikind days very soon.
    god is being good to the jews

23. Does anyone realize that David won EVERY SINGLE neighborhood in the district???!!

    THIS IS HUGE

24. What a mentch. Him and his wife and two beautiful children should see lots of nachas.

25. Hikind will soon claim that he’s “best friends” with Greenfield, and that he actually helped him win.

    I can just hear the radio show this motzei shabbos.

    More lying from Hikind and Co. coming up.

26. David has brought money to the mosdos, and now he will bring even more.

27. some1 tell hikind someone just painted a swastika on a public toilet at a rest area in nevada.

    get him out of our neighborhood now

28. Shelly Silver is probably crying with Hikind right now.

    Two biggest losers around.

    I feel bad for Lazar. Hikind will never talk to him again. Lazar does not realize what Hikind is all about. He probably forgot the name Lazar already.

29. I personally had spoken to dozens of people on my block telling them to vote Greenfield. I am so happy I was able to contribute.

    It’s much better to win by a landslide then a few lousy points.

    Good riddence to the Hikind machine.

30. Shocking that David won. I am speechless. Amazing race.

31. Can Lazar please send his twin sons back to my block and pick up all the Greenfield signs that they personally ripped down late Thursday night (that we captured on video)?

    Not to mention that they hung Lazar posters in their place.

    How low.

    Boruch Hahem David won. A really sweet erlich honest person.

32. Frishe koiches in boro park

33. I’m glad my vote counted.

34. Mazel Tov to David Greenfeld !! Baruch Hashem the best candidate won and it broke up the Hikind machine !!

35. mazel tov very proud of his mother that raised such a son!! mazel tov again
    your father is smiling from shomayim. dont forget to help all the yidden just like your father and mother always did . bhatzlacha

36. Mizmor L’Dovid.

    Even with his limited experience he will soon be a leader of the heimishe community. Good bye Joe.

37. GREAT!!! The Moysdes and Kehiles got a good setback tonight!!! They ran after Lazar out of fear that some rich guy wont $$$$support them anymore. Kehiles were ready to throw us all under the bus and give us Lazar just cuz a few powerful people wanted so, but we all decided that we will NOT be stepped on anymore, and we voted for Greenfield.

    I doubt that much will change with just 1 new person at the Council, but the election did what was long in the coming: Moysdes and Kehila bosses who cater only a few and themselves while using their power to have the gullible public to follow like donkeys, got kicked where it hurts.

    I hope voters in all Jewish areas will from now on look beyond the “Kehilas” and “Moysdes” request, and vote for the candidate that they, the voters, believe and see is right for them!

    hahahah…

38. The real winner in this campaign is the Brooklyn Syrian community who have bankrolled Greenfield and now have their man in office. The real loser is Agudath Israel who no longer has a candidate as a city council member. It really speaks to the demographics of the Brooklyn jewish community.

39. The real winner is YWN!

    YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!

40. Mazel Tov David and your family.

41. Where are all the losers who bashed ywn for supporting david all along?

    probably hiding in their caves

42. ******NEWSFLASH******

    Rumor has it that YWN has now secured the exclusive “ask the councilman”.

    This will soon change: http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news_cat.php?cat=20

    YWN called this from the bitter begining.

43. dov hikind is stiing and reading all these comments at home now.

    gotta be a sight to see.

    tisha b’av in nissan.

    the community has had enough. his time is up. and he can ignore these comments, but today’s election speaks for itself. weve had enough, and are fed up

44. David Greenfield 7070 57.83%

    Joseph Lazar 4842 39.61%

    Kenneth Rice 313 2.56%

    Reporting: 119 of 119 precincts – 100.00 percent

45. Ha. The other jewish website is making it look all pretty now. They are the big loseres. They would never approve one comment which was pro-Greenfield.

    Their day will soon come too.

46. Just left the party. David rocks!

    I’m thrilled that we have a superb mentch in office. COuldnt have asked for a better choice.

47. People have spoken and are just fuming at the mosdos as is obvious from the numbers today.

    Enough of the terror, arm-twisting, backroom deals, PHONY askanim, organizations, and the rest of the gangsters.

    We took our streets back, and there is more to come.

48. I don’t live in NYC, but listen to David every week speak at his weekly audio show on YWN. The man is highly intelligent, and speaks the truth.

    I actually miss the weekly show.

    I hope it will resume soon.

    Thanks, and mazel tov.

49. Mazel tov David and family.

    Mazel tov, mazel tov.

50. SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS ON YWN. YOU ARE ALL DOPES. I HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR LOUSY COUNCILMAN. I MYSELF AM HAPPY I LEFT NYC FOR THE 5 TOWNS. LESS DOLTS. REAL ACHDUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

51. nuuuuuu….video of speech? pictures??? where are they??!!
    i saw hillel engel snapping away!

52. Jeff Lebb, kalman Yeger and of course Mark Botnick win big today.

    Don;t forget Mayor “Mordche” Bloomberg!

53. Does anyone know when he offically takes office?

54. Great news indeed.
    This was a message to Hikind and co. David it was nice to see you in Bobov this morning!! As far as Agudah goes, shame on them for folding in into the Chicago politics of Hikind.

55. Yes! Just about time the individual ‘PEOPLE’ Spoke, & not getting effected by the terror & force of the old fasiond polititions!
    HIKIND! YOUR DAYS ARE OVER! IT’S JUST ABOUT TIME FOR A NEW STUNING GENERASION!
    GO DAVID GO!…

56. Working closely w/ Joe on the election was a honor & i would do it all over again. At the same time I salute David for the come from behind victory no matter what tactics he used. Joe to me is the true example of a mentch that is too good for the political cesspool.

    Benzie

57. Replying to Shmerel.
    You said it yourself, ‘Lazar is a mench ect. That doesent mean he’s good for politics.
    WHAT WE NEED IS A ‘REAL’ POLOTITION!…

58. Boruch Dayan Emes.
    First Obama, and now this.
    Ad Mosai?

59. how often are these elections? anyone know?

60. I hope the politicians will learn from this not to poter after the few selfish politicians like Dov, Julius, and Shmuel.
    Great clean campaign, David.
    Please stay yourself, and don’t turn into a politician.

61. When the Hon. David greenfield came to our school “Yeshivas Tiferes Shulem” about three weeks ago to speak to our teen-aged students and inspire and motivate them to fulfill their potentials, I immediately knew that David will be receiving my endorsement.

    He related to our students in a way no one else was able to, he gave our students hope and aspirations in educating themselves and being the best they can possibly be. Thats what David Greenfield is all about.

    I strongly believed that David was an opportunity for our community to have real and strong representation in the city council!

    I’d like to wish Councilman David Greenfield good luck in all your endeavourers, and know that were all rooting for you!

62. 45 Bobov is the most powerfull mosdes in boro park they where the one’s who brought out the most vote’s for David

63. R’ Duvid! I saw the pictures, the enthusiesum that surrounded you.
    But never forget that ‘we the people’ bought you into office.
    & never ever turn your back on us as an polotition. Thanks.
    Speaking for the voters…

64. I am sure you all remember what I said a few weeks ago. This election be like the Lakewood Vaad endorsing Corzine BUT thwe whole community voted for Chritie. I WAS RIGHT. Learn A lesson Listen to the community and don’t think they will follow blindly.

65. Postscript: …or at the very least, change its name.

66. This is great! Now as he promised (just yesterday) there will be no more child molesters in Brooklyn (schools).

67. Ironic how my comment on the over liberal freedom-of-press policy of YWN in publishing readers’ derogatory/senseless comments was censored! (Though, in all fairness, it did publish my now non sequitur postscript.)
