A new
dawn has risen over the Adass Israel School and Mosdos Hachinuch.
Although
Board Elections were called, a new committee has been installed by default
after Y.Z. Fixler removed himself from contention after a contentious meeting
at the house of the Adass Israel's Rabbi Beck. The meeting was attended by all
election nominees, as well as a representative member of the Election Committee
and Professor Israel Herszberg.
The new
committee members are:
- Moshe Benedikt
- Yitzchak Benedikt
- Yumi Friedman
- Moshe Friedman
- Chaim Klein
- Nosan Klein
- Yoili Klein
- Benyomin Koppel
- Yossi Spigelman
- Arele Strasser
- Avremi Weiszberger
A short outline of the new committee:
· Moshe Benedikt was in the committee
previously. He is also a member of the Adass Chevra Kadisha.
· Yitzchak Benedikt has been in the
committee and the President of the committee for a number of years. He is also
a member of the Adass Chevra Kadisha.
· Moshe Friedman was in the
committee previously. He is also a member of the Adass Israel Kehilla
committee.
· Chaim Klein was in the previous
committee and is also a member of the Adass Israel Chevra Kadisha.
· Nosan Klein is a newcomer to the
committee. We wish him great success. He is also a member of the Adass Chevra
Kadisha.
· Yoili Klein was in the previous
committee.
· Benyomin Koppel was in the
previous committee. He is also a member of the Adass Israel Kehilla committee
and the unofficial Rosh Hakohol.
· Yossi Spigelman (Jnr.) is a
newcomer to the committee. We wish him great success.
· Arele Strasser was in the
previous committee. He is also a member of the Adass Israel Kehilla committee
· Avremi Weiszberger was in the
previous committee for some time until he resigned last year for personal
reasons.
We
wish the new committee lots of hatzlacha.
We hope and pray that this new Committee use this special opportunity to serve the community with honesty, integrity and heart, and avoid making important decisions based on personal feelings or bias.

ReplyDeleteIs this blog meant for the entire Melb community or only Adass?
ReplyDeletewho needs a blog
ReplyDeleteThe previous committee members did a woderful job and I expect the new committee to continue this trend of growing torah and yiddishkeit within our wonderful community for many years to come.
ReplyDeleteWhat about the new Adass-Chabad Shteebel that just opened on McHenry St?
ReplyDeleteI hear that Mendel Vechter was the star of the Mezuzah attaching party last night.
More info please
We had about 30 people present, It was an unbelievable event something never to be forgotten. I heard some guys in Adass are upset i cant understand why.We just want more toarah and a chasidish bern
Deletewhat happened at the contentious meeting? details please
ReplyDeleteIt seems that there are many people in the world - especially Satmar chassidim - but others as well - who are very upset at the way Vechter stole children from their parents. While taking money from them for teaching Torah in what they thought was his private - Satmar _ yeshiva, was actually brainwashing them with Lubavitch stuff - and warning his talmidim not to reveal any of this to their parents.
ReplyDeleteA Gerrer rosh yeshiva who knows the whole episode claims that had vechter done this to Gerr boys, he would've been DOA
First of all it's not chabad not adass it's a shul for any chasiddim that are interested in davening in a place without any politics and a place that welcomes everyone to talk if it's according to הלכה, and btw I would be more worried about talking לשון הרע then then kids being stamer or chabad as long as they are jewish and keep תורה ומצוות, and besides the point (about r' mendel vechter) it's not completely ture, (there's always two sides to a story), and one thing for sure he's probably a little bit more choshev then you for he doesn't have access to Internet which I'm sure you do, (not that I im, as you can see that I have access to) so next time please read what's written underneath about the considering before commenting
ReplyDeleteDidn't someone call this new place Lelav?
ReplyDeleteThat sounds OK to me.
Please come and support - they are struggling for minyan on Friday nights
Please give it a chance at least for a couple of months until they use up all the rental credit
Great blog!!
ReplyDeleteExciting new articles every day
whats going on with rabbi greenfeld ?
ReplyDeleteIS there even one person on the Addass committe with any involvement in education / chinuch ? Any qualification or shimush for anything what soe ever.....Does not paying any money to the kehilla for hechsher make you pusel to be on the committee ??
ReplyDeleteWhat about Professor Heszberg...great if they were building an airport or aeroplane, but what does he know about kids, schools or people skills....
How about recording all meetings and giving paid members access to them so that people actually know what is happening within their own kehilla ??
Lucky it's not a 3 day YomTov or else things will overspill in Adass shule this chag.
