Come Friday afternoon, 20 nominees will enter the final round of the “Jewish Community Heroes 2010” contest of the Jewish Federations of North America.
Firstly, I would like to take this opportunity to thank those that have participated in this effort and who continue to vote every single day (Think for every visit to COLlive.com = Vote again).
I am aware that there are many who visit this website who think to themselves that they are either too busy with their daily schedule to take a minute to be involved in such petty competitions or who get upset with the public who continue to pester them to vote for their particular nominee.
Yes, it may be annoying, but the impact your vote has to our Mosdos is more powerful than your click of the mouse will lead you to believe.
With that being said, I would like to ask you to please visit http://www.jewishcommunityheroes.org/nominees/leaderboard/ and vote for the Lubavitch and chabad affiliated nominees for whom your vote will make a major difference in how Chabad is viewed in their city and nationwide.
When doing so please keep in mind that the Chabad nominees in the 20-25 part of the competition need your vote even more! We thank you for your time and we really do appreciate everything you do for us, be it large or small.
The Chabad affiliated nominees in the lead are:
Dmitriy Salita – Brooklyn, New York
Rabbi Dovid Tiechtel – Champaign, Illinois
Pinny Lipshutz – Monsey, New York
Rabbi Yisroel Bernath – Montreal, Quebec
Rabbi Dovid Goldstein – Houston, Texas
Rivkee Rudolph – Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Vote for them and other Chabad runner ups – click here
that lubavitchers have nothing better to do than vote for their affiliates as jewish heroes?
this whole thing is rediculous and demeaning. i totally don’t get it.

The Federation is not getting any information, just people who don’t read think they need to put in their information.
This is not about money, although I’m sure some shluchim will be happy to get 25k, but that goes just to the first winner, this is about Kidush Sheim Lubavitch, last time we had half of the finalists lubavitchers, this time around people weren’t interested, much less lubavitchers were nominated and whoever was didn’t work hard besides a few, but we could still get them in especially since part of the Judges are lubavitcher.
there is no need to put in your email address
Anyone who lives in the real world knows there is no such thing as a free lunch; if someone’s offering it, step back and look at the bigger picture. We’ve already seen the Chase Friendship Circle campaign, and the Kohl’s day school voting mania. Despite all the emails you recieved to come and vote “this one time” the phenonema is here to stay. Companies have found the backdoor to get their ads to their target audience, and the “charity” prize money being give away is still less than conventional advertising costs, and tax deductible to boot. Technically, it’s a win-win… Read more »
PLEASE VOTE FOR RIVKEE RUDOLPH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What’s the point of this competition?? Why should I vote?
from a fan.
This is probably the first op-ed that I agree with 100% lets hope that we manage to push in many Chabad related people into the Top 20 maybe then company’s like Kohl’s wont be shocked when we preform so well in their contests
BS”D
If your computer doesn’t save your info in the boxes, go along the whole line and click “vote” then type your email address in the first one and copy and paste it into all of the emails boxes. then do the same with the zip codes and click submit. the whole thing shouldn’t take more than a minute
and SO easy tooo… GENIUS!!
I voted for all in under 15 seconds…
what is with americans (most), who struggle to think beyond their country the USA, “your vote will make a major difference in how Chabad is viewed in their city and nationwide”.
If you would add the word internationally in may encourage people from overseas to vote. It’s amazing that even when it comes to your own benefit, you still seem to forget that theres a whole world outside “planet USA”.
