Dear Community,
Yesterday a fourteen-second clip went around telling folks why Eric Adams is the wrong choice for our community. We as a group did not want to respond to this, since this was a move to sow discord between members of the Crown Heights Jewish community.
Let’s address some of the facts and reasons why we chose Eric Adams as our only choice.
For starters, Eric has represented our community for the last fifteen years. He was our State Senator, and then our Borough President. As State Senator Eric was constantly engaged and had an ongoing dialogue and communication with members of the community. Eric hired Reuven Lipkind who was our man in his office. Reuven was there to assist members of the community with their issues. Many within the community have Eric to thank for helping them resolve their concerns.
So, we need to look beyond the cropped fourteen-second clip and see the full interview which is below. Eric swas referring to a specific model that former Mayor Dinkins developed. A tactic that his predecessor Giuliani and Bloomberg both continued. He wasn’t referring to Dinkin’s incompetence or weak policies.
In closing, this is the first time in years that all of the community Askonim and leaders are united as a group to endorse one set of candidates.
Please go out and encourage everyone you know to vote, and vote.
People from around the city will be looking to see what Crown Heights does in this election. So, let’s unite for ourselves, our community, our yeshivas, and most importantly our children who are our future.
Sincerely,
United Crown Heights

I am still planning to vote for Mr, Adams – voting for anyone else would be “suicide” – but I really wish he would not have invoked Dinkins.
Andrew yang is the best option for our community
HES A WICKED PERSON. HE SAID TO CHEAT IN THE GEORGIA ELECTIONS. HE HATES JEWS!!!
WE MADE A HUGE MISTAKE BY VOTING BIDEN, DONT MAKE THAT MISTAKE AGAIN WE WILL PAY THE PRICE!!!
I NEVER VOTED FOR BIDEN R”L . AND I HOPE NO JEW ESPECIALLY A RELIGIOUS JEW AND A LUBAVITCHER COULD HAVE EVEN ENTERTAIN THAT THOUGHT
Cuomo murdered thousands. Now you want more?! Vote for Curtis Sliwa and Andrew Guliani. Vote REPUBLICAN!
What is your information,proof
The COMMUNITY LEADERS endorsed Dinkins.
In fact the reasoning (as one told me) behind it
had little to do with his competency or potential.
It is well-known what became of that, unfortunately.
So, let it be that, BE”H, the reasoning this time will
be well-founded, and he will be a good mayor, if he wins.
HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF ALL THE TIME. ANY FORM OF DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP IS THE STAIGHT PATHWAY FOR DESTRUCTION . THEIR WHOLE BEING IS HATE AND CHAOS
These social media clips really take everything out of context and are fear mongering — ihe is really the only candidate who can make our community safer
Glad you payed that clip!
Adams is NOT a friend of the Jews.
He says things in order to get elected!!!!!
But his true colors came out in that clip!!!!
He did not even apologize or say ” I am sorry for Dinkins mess up in
Crown Heights”
I truly think that he is hiding his real feelings!!!!
I believe it is inappropriate that a group of activists, some of whom are closely associated with the CHJCC should be endorsing any candidate in the name of the “ community”.
Each eligible vote should make his/ her informed choice and vote accordingly.
Why is it inappropiate? How do you think all other communities vote? They follow the endorsements of the community and vote as a bloc. With your attitude of each to his own, we lose any leverage we have. We need to speak with one voice if we want to have any influence on politicians.
And with the mentality that you have we’re going to just keep voting in people that don’t end up helping us and really only help the people on top. then we wonder why we have such bad politicians. Well that’s because people aren’t going out and making their own decisions anymore they’re letting their communities make them on their behalf. people should be doing their own research that’s how voting has worked in this country for the last 100 years I don’t understand where this new mentality of you’re going to let your community decide who you’re going to vote… Read more »
When the community starts endorsing candidates people that are lazy and don’t really feel like going out and doing their own research will just back whichever idiot the community leaders do. I can’t even begin to explain why this is just a very dangerous type of mentality if you’re going out and voting you should not be voting because the community leaders told you to do so. you should be voting because you did your own research and are voting for somebody that you believe policies are actually going to change your life and your community. I always begin to… Read more »
Adams will turn his back to jews at his first opportunity
EXACTLY.
WHEN PUSH GOES TO SHOVE, the yidden will be the 1st to be thrown under the bus.
In the memory of Yankel Rosenbaum we can’t vote for this anti semite!!!!!
Curtis Sliwa
I don’t agree that Yang is better. But I think Adams is less horrible. As much as they are preaching that he is there for our community I think they are wrong and it’s all just politics.
Do we get to tell them to not weigh in the next time if this doesn’t go as they are promising.
How many times do they get to be wrong before we stop listening? or before they are not allowed to weigh in.
Curtis Sliwa
I think Curtis Sliwa would be better!
Vote for Curtis Sliwa for NYC mayor and Andrew Guliani for NYS. Only options.
Curtis Sliwa
Is the way to go
Never democrat
I heard and did research that Curtis Sliwa
Is planning on running for mayor ! I think he would be amazing (he is also one of the top people at guardian angles which protected crown heights during anti Semitic attacks )!he is also a republican which is just another plus ! So please endorse Curtis!
Yang and Adams are both rabid ANTI-SEMITES that HATE JEWS! They are both members of the anti-semitic anti-religion anti-business anti-Israel anti-American democratic party! Why vote for people that hate us and want to destroy us?! Vote Curtis Sliwa for NYC mayor and Andrew Guliani for NYS. Vote only REPUBLICAN. Vote only for appropriate people that truly care about you!
To all the Andrew Yang supporters out there. He recently gave a speech in which he said he is *for* lowering the voting age to 16 and giving green card holders the right to vote. Let’s add this to his socialist agenda list. -He is pro universal income -He is anti bris milah (circumcision) -He is pro open borders -He says he will support the Yeshiva system until he wont -He double masks outdoors in his ads -His young children are in masks outdoors in his ads *Andrew Yang is not a candidate whose policies are good for anyone but… Read more »
Why didn’t the community council support Curtis sliwa ??!!! All the democratic candidates are horrible .
In an ideal situation we should elect republicans like guliani. The community activists who made the endorsement dont disagree with that. But they are aware of something that you guys may not be aware of. No republican candidate stands a chance of becoming mayor in nyc. You might as well vote for your own mashpia to be mayor, because his chances are about the same aa a republican. Therefore, the community activitists have taken a practical approach and decided on the best that the democrats have to offer, despite all his shortcmings. If you take an all or nothing approach,… Read more »
Vote Eric Adams our only hope for the future!
