LAKEWOOD (VINnews) — The Roshei Yeshiva of Bais Medrash Govoha (BMG) have released a letter reaffirming their backing of Democrat Avi Schnall while condemning those within the community who oppose his candidacy.

It also denounces false rumors which have been spread, suggesting that one well-known Rav changed his endorsement.
The letter, signed by Rav Malkiel Kotler shlit”a, Rav Yeruchem Olshin shlit”a, Rav Yisroel Newman shlit”a, and Rav Dovid Schustal shlit”a, makes clear that those opposing Avi Schnall’s bid for NJ Assembly are not supporting the tzibbur’s best interests.
A post-script to the letter, signed by Rav Schustal, condemns those who have recently spread false rumors about Rav Elya Ber Wachtfogel shlit”a having retracted his endorsement of Avi’s campaign.
The letter comes one day before Election Day, with Mr. Schnall seeking to unseat Republican incumbent Ned Thomson, for New Jersey’s 30th District in the State Assembly.
What did Rabbi Avigdor Miller say 40 years ago?
And he disagreed with all Gedolai Yisroel at the time.
He foresaw things which happend 25 years before his time
Should we vote for Yeger or Tischler?
The letter addresses the claim that there has been a retraction from a previous position and thus states, in no uncertain terms, that there has been no change in their earlier endorsement. I’m quite certain too that Rabbi Serotzkan made that claim with absolute certainty.
Coming from a community that the “Menahel” of the Yeshiva never endorsed anyone (he would say who he’s voting for for those not interested in researching candidates themselves) but it was never to endorse, block vote, or in anyway instruct the Kehilla who they should vote for.
So when I see this Micky Mouse show about endorsements, the Vaad (who nobody seems to know who’s on it or which “Daas Torah” is guiding them), block voting, the obligation to vote as one, the Rabbis endorsed Schnall, no they difn
Stop the machlokes NOW

They say that they heard all the taanos and all the tzedadim but it would be in their best interest to address the elephant in the room specifically. IS TUITION GOING UP IF WE GET VOUCHERS???? That’s the question that needs to be answered very very clearly. Beating around the bush and being vague I understand the way you want to work and show your above it but it doesn’t work unfortunately
Okay. Calm down everyone. Avigdor won. It’s all over.
Fake news!! NOWHERE in the letter does it say a word about schnall! It just says to go out and vote.
Yiddin STILL voting Democrat? Arent we supposed learn from mistakes?
Why is he running as a Democrap? Because most of frum Lakewood are registered Democrap voters?? Something stinks here. And trying to unseat a Republican?? Uch un vey!
