Really?
Cant you lose your non-profit status for endorsements of an political nature
some of these names work for the same 3 schools.
there are 46 elementary schools in Lakewood, where is everyone else?
Can you still get absentee ballot, if so how
I would think to be a board member of BOE one should be properly educated and represent the BOE with educated members.
kol hakavod
most large Mosdos are not here
I have an opnion, but in Lakewood we value the BLOCK vote, it will only be for our benifet in the long run. VOTE AS A BLOCK
may the best man win

ALL the large mosdos are not signing
How come this was not …..
I was in Glatt Bite tonight. The place was jammed!
i happen to know friedman and grrenspan. they are both excellent candidates with tremendous experience in klal work. i would definitly vote for them. hatzlacha to them.
All the major Mosdos are on board.
Sometimes a tacit approval is the wisest course…especially in politics…
FriedmAN and Greenspan are real Klal people. Freddy #1 Shaddchan, and Greenspan great administrator in Rabbi Shlomo Friedmans Yeshiva. They are people that would give their shirt off there back for anyone. Good choice Mosdos and by mosdos I mean all the MOsdos even the ones that didn’t sign are behind them and we all know it.
