Gov. Kathy Hochul tried to gain support among New York’s frum kehillos today, releasing a new letter in which she promised to support and help the Jewish community, asking for their vote in the gubernatorial election next Tuesday, November 8.
“I recognize that education is an important value in the Jewish community, and I want to assure everyone that Jewish schools will always be treated with fairness and respect,” Hochul wrote.
“As lieutenant governor, I visited many Jewish summer camps in the Catskill mountains, and I got to see, firsthand the wonderful children coming through our yeshiva system across our great state. As governor, my understanding of, and appreciation for the Jewish community has grown even stronger.
“I ask you for your support in this upcoming election and look forward to continuing to serve as your governor.”
Okay. If that’s the case, I’ll vote for her. Plus, she does have a nice shaitel.
go blow u loser, get lost.
u didnt say a word when the sed came out against yeshivos but when the frum community that u lost is ready to turn on you u wake up
get lost u moron
a day late and a dollar short
sorry no signature here nice letter
Too little too late. She’s not promising anything, anyway: “Jewish schools will always be treated with fairness and respect,”–as they are destroyed.
Anyone who votes for her deserves her, but the rest of us don’t.
political banter
she does not say she will reverse her position on yeshiva curriculum
all she basically says is that she will treat us with fairness and respect
she lost my vote and probably yours too
No specifics. I wonder why….
Yeshivas, not my problem!
Too little, too late
If she won’t pay up no vote for her. Pay up and pay up big time. U owe us pay up.
She oh, so totally, supports the orthodox community! It is totally obvious by the way she set up extra security when orthodox Jews were getting beaten up all over Flatbush and upstate…
She pledges nothing in the letter. Just the standard vague promise of “doing everything in my power” (Which based on her record she sure has not done yet) along with an even vaguer reference to continuing to support peoples right to religion and recognition of importance of religious education etc. There is absolutely nothing in this letter that the SED and those who are pushing pro criminal policies couldn’t have written too.
Kathy Hochul also says that crime in New York is a figment of your imagination. Why anyone would believe anything coming out of her mouth is beyond me…….
That is what our affermative action Mayor also said. The governor is up in Albany. In all honesty, you can’t blame Mrs. Hochul for the crime in NYC. Our black Mayor, Eric Adams IS THE ONLY ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS TERRIBLE CRIME WAVE!!! Eric is responsible for innocent blacks being thrown to their deaths in front of moving subway trains! Adams is the one who should resign or be recalled!
crime in New York is a figment of your imagination like they claim the fact that there are over a million deaths and severe injuries from the vax a figment of imagination
No one told me that. I was lectured by my naysayer neighbors that if I wear a disposable mask 24/7 up to my eyes, and stop davening and doing mitzvos, I would live forever. If I refused, I would be labeled a rodef & rotziach and would cause aiva.
Reading your ignorant comment reminds me why I stopped going to Matzav. I came back by mistake and will try to remember to stay away. Matzav and its readers assume that the vaccines are harmful, that COVID doesn’t really exist and other ignorant, false beliefs. Believe it or not, there are frum people who thought COVID precautions were a great idea & who are extremely grateful to Hashem and his shlichim for sending us the vaccines, which are saving lives. Bye, Bye Matzav.
No no. Please come back! We missed you terribly.
Little late in the game.
Also where is she on crime and other issues that affect the community
Sadly you seem to have impressed your friends at Satmar, but no-one else is falling for your lies
Which promise will she break first?
From Ish Emes:
All Gedolei Yisroel should learn from the Satmar Rebbe R’ Zalman Leib shlit”a how to deal with politicians and emphasize clearly without fear ברחל בתך הקטנה to vising governors, mayors, presidents or their assistance what the Yehadus Hachareidis needs, especially regarding our chinuch which cannot be altered in any form or way and there’s NO 2 WAYS ABOUT IT. And as long as the politicians don’t affirm clearly that our educational system is correct and they will not enforce upon us non-acceptable learning methods and learning material, they will NOT RECEIVE OUR ENDORSEMENT. PERIOD!
The Satmar Rebbe shlit”a pointed out to the politicians they should not think that they will be able to convince the askonim because the Rebbe is on top of everything and he has the final word which many other chassidus will follow.
Although I’m not Satmar, I’m amazed and admire the leadership power the Rebbe carries without embarrassment or fear to say the pure truth in a very precise way.
If Mrs. Hochul can somehow solve the dreaded shidduch crisis and end the Age-gap, she might just be the Moshiach.
When she makes promises, it’s not a question about keeping them. It’s about which promise she’ll break first.
SHE’S PROMISING MONEY BUT NOT PROMISING “NOT” TO DESTROY JEWISH EDUCATION.

Just like in Israel where they promise “support” financially as long as you do I say whether it’s teaching treife and immoral stuff or inject the students with the death jabs.
Skver and Satmar will pay for this “perush min Hatzibur”.
If Hochul wins, they will lose the power over their Yeshiva education. If Zeldin wins, he will not be giving them their wanted zoning variations and freebies.
Plus, Hochul will give them nothing and neither will Biden.
This was a Baaaaaad decision.
