Not MY councilmember (in response to the news from #4, above)
December 12, 2018 10:32 am

(I live in Councilmember Eugene’s district.) #4, I know you are just the messenger; not that you are happy or sad about the intentions of these two politicians. If Ms. Cumbo WERE the councilmember from my district, I’d NEVER want for her to rise to higher office. Why? https://collive.com/show_news.rtx?id=27982&hl=Cumbo (“‘Jews Success Triggers Resentment'”) Yes, she supposedly “apologized” for that, but to me it was a total non-apology because her ATTITUDE is unchanged: semantics–“my words did not convey what was in my heart” (!), don’tcha know? https://collive.com/show_news.rtx?id=28017&hl=Cumbo and https://collive.com/show_news.rtx?id=28096&hl=Cumbo THIS IS A COUNCILMEMBER WITH AN attitude problem about a big percentage… Read more »

Speak about the dictates against Yeshivos
December 11, 2018 10:14 pm

The new mandates from the Commissioner of Ed (7 hrs of secular study AND all public school mandates, such as “tolerance” courses) would have the effect of forcing everyone who cares one drop about their kids’ chinuch to leave NY. While these are city, not state, officials, they can be effective voices against what amounts to a modern day expulsion (anyone who stays is risking his children, R”L). Ask them to insure that NY and NYC remain viable places for Jews to live, religious Jews who have given so much to society.

District 35 demographics
December 11, 2018 9:34 pm

It seems to me that this location is very close to the Crown Heights Jewish Community. The meeting is in one of the main Crown Heights institutions at the Southern end of Council District 35. Community Board 9 meetings used to be held at MS 61. This is actually Council Member Eugene ‘s district. CB9 meetings are now mainly at Medgar Evers College.Keep in mind District 35 has 4 neighborhoods and 3 of them are on the other side of Eastern Parkway, including Prospect Heights, Fort Green and Clinton Hill. People coming from these neighborhoods will have much further to… Read more »

Solve the Black on Jewish Hate Crime Issue with More Cops/Cameras
December 11, 2018 5:14 pm

If you are a City Council person, and you have a large amount of Jews who are subject of hate crimes, you hold a meeting in the center of the Jewish community, like at MS 61 where the Community Board 9 meetings are. There is no parking by or around Medgar Evans, and it is clearly out of the way for the Jewish community. This reminds me of when the political bosses wanted to decide what to do with the Bedford Armory, they had meetings in the Baptist Church, on Saturdays. Leadership is when you tell your constituents how you… Read more »

December 11, 2018 5:10 pm

This will be a good opportunity to meet your elected officials and hear about a wide range of issues going on and around the community, meet members of the wider Crown Heights, Prospect Heights, and Fort Green communities.
