A new poll in New Jersey suggests that Republican gubernatorial candidate Chris Christie has a 12 point lead in the race. That didn't stop Brooklyn Rabbi Shea Hecht from attending a fundraiser for sitting Governor Jon Corzine. Photos

As a NJ resident Corzine is terrible. All he did was raise taxes. stop the property tax rebate… Why is R. Hecht mixing in to our problems?

R Hect is contradicting himself

A few weeks ago R Hect was in NJ, pushing for school vouchers. This is one state issue that is so very important for the frum communities in NJ as well as here in NY. How can R Hect go out of state to support a man who opposes them, after rallying for them? When in fact Chris Christie supports them!!! I can not fathom why people like Hect, and a month ago, 3 members of the Vaad ha Kol are supporting these pawns of the teachers union, who oppose vouchers, when school vouchers would do so much to help… Read more »

who said rabbi shea is supporting corzine?
I’m sure that if rabbi shea would be invited to an event by Christie he would go to.

As a Friend of Shea, I am shocked that he would support this master of sleaze. Yes, Corzine is a multi millionnaire. But he’s in NJ Shea, how can he help you in NY? Are you supporting Bloomberg? He’s even worse than Corzine. Both of them think they can buy the elections.

I don’t how good Christie is but he can’t be worse than NJ Dems…what a bunch of lousy losers!

I hope you were successful
