Chicago (VINnews)-At a recent Agudath Israel event held in conjunction with the Democratic National Convention (DNC), Rabbi Avi Schnall, a New Jersey Assemblyman, delivered a strong message about the importance of the Lakewood, NJ community in the electoral process. He emphasized that the votes of this community should not be taken for granted, urging political figures to recognize the influence and significance of Lakewood’s electorate.

Rabbi Schnall’stressed the political power held by the Lakewood community and cautioned against dismissing their impact. He made it clear that any candidate or political party that overlooks or writes off the votes from this community does so at their own peril. His speech served as a reminder of the critical role that Lakewood plays in shaping the political landscape in New Jersey.
How does Aguda and this clown represent us if they support the contemporary Democratic Party?! The same party that wants to provide nukes to Iran, support hamas, import millions of islamonazis to America, shut down the yeshivos, force perversions on the society and perform the mengele style procedures on children!!!
Is this clown trying to make the Lakewood community vote Democrat?! Ra bi as in reish ain space beis yud?
How does this bold fat galach represent our community?!
Never been so embarrased by our leaders in my life and i am over 60
Kofuy tov groise kof.
No POTUS has be as good to the Jewish community & Israel as Trump.
The lives that were saved in 4 years of peace in EY makes it incumbent on every caring Jew observant on Lo saamod al dam reiacha to vote for DJT. I know, I will although I detest his personality vs RFKjr who’s the only one acting like a mentch.
Why is this guy called Rabbi? He may have a sizable Orthodox constituency in his district, but he is a politician, not a man of the cloth.
Any YID who votes for Commrade Kamala is a total MORON. If all youre concerned about is Yesheiva tuition, what a poor excuse for a frum Yid. Think about what is good for the ountry we live in, what is good for Israel. The Demorats are pandering to the extreme left socialist agenda. SOCIALISM does not work! Doing the same thing over & over again & expecting a different result is INSANITY. Why should Illegal Aliens (criminals) be given free education, free medical care, free housing etc. I am a US Army combat veteran, senior citizen struggling to make ends meet and these CRIMINALS are getting everything for free. FDR refused to allow Jews in or even bomb the railways to the Polish Death Camps and yet you MORONS will contine to vote for anti-semetic Demorats because they promise to give you Yesheiva Tuition.
Let’s not exaggerate here. It has votes, but cannot by itself flip NJ as a whole.
What is he warning? That if they don’t extend tuition relief, the community will flip to the GOP, since he didn’t deliver for them? Nice.
What is Rabbi Schnall talking about? In statewide races, Lakewood votes overwhelmingly for the Republican candidate, no matter who the Vaad endorses. That was true in gubernatorial races and senate races for the last decade at least. The Vaad endorsed Bob Menendez in 2018 after he voted against the JCPOA, and Lakewood still voted for his opponent Bob Hugin.
The Vaad endorsed Phil Murphy for reelection in 2021, but most Lakewood residents either voted for his opponent or didn’t bother voting. But even if every Lakewood township resident who voted for Trump in 2020 had voted for Ciattarelli in 2021, Murphy would still have won by over 50,000 votes. And this race, in which Murphy became the first Democrat governor to win reelection in NJ in over 40 years, saw Murphy win by a relatively small margin.
Biden won NJ by over 700,000 votes in 2020. Obviously Lakewood votes made no difference there.
Lakewood has sent Republican Chris Smith to the House of Representatives for decades now. They’ve sent Republicans to the NJ assembly for decades for years too. Rabbi Schnall is the lone Democrat from the area.
The DNC isn’t taking support from the Lakewood community for granted. They haven’t expected or received support from Lakewood for many years now. Democrats generally do well in statewide races despite Lakewood, not because of it.
This is a great example of the problem of staying within one’s bubble to much. All the frum centers in New Jersey couldn’t flip nj to trump even if they all voted for him ( which they won’t)
Let’s face it. The Dems can put armed Palis in every political appointment, and Aguda will still be voting for them. For shame!
New Jersey has a large Jewish population. Why isn’t there more government assistance to help parents with tuition for Jewish schools?
Someone should have asked him who is voting for in 2024. I don’t think he would say Harris with a straight face.
Schnall is part of the Donkey party. Enough said.
Schnall is a rabbi like Al Sharpton is a reverend.
