 From avi solomon , he Did not give permission to lakewood scoop to post his video. he does not support the vaad and ... refuses to remove video Dear .....: I have emailed you once to please take down the video of me on the scoop as I did not give you permission to post it. .... and as per the Chofetz Chaim it is usser to be involved in any way, shape, or form with such people. The video was made for my night seder chat on whatsapp and not for you ....
Furthermore, in the video I was careful not to speak any loshan hora. If I'd elaborate and explain the seeming contradictions in the video between the 4 points it would not be something the VAAD would agree with. Please take the video down within an hour or less. I do not wish to go to the place reserved in Gehennim for those who speak Loshan Hora or those who associate with such people. Thank you.

The planned Asifa at Barclays center is still underway however in order to have a broad coalition of the Litvish and all Chasidshe communities there is some talk of postponing it. As of now the Satmar faction led by Reb Zalman Leib Teitelbaum are the ones that will be going.

This is no Win for the VAAD

June 6, 2017, 7:20 pm

Still to early to go through the numbers and see how the districts voted. The Seniors voted strong for the incumbents. As For The frum Vote it was a low turn out and unfortunately no one could get backing by any Rav in a town with over 150 Rabbonim. if they would have all backed one candidate they would have a chance.

For the Vaad to declare victory would be a slap in the face to the thousands of Lakewood residents who have been ignored and disenfranchised. There are many who dont have a voice and the powerful leadership is not connected to them. The bnei Hayeshiva are shortchanged. If only the Vaad would have put the same kochos and passion to help as it did in this last "panic week" to win and remain in power maybe things would be different. The VAAD attitude of undermining the plight of so many Lakewood taxpayers who sit and traffic, who struggle to pay high taxes, can not go on. Controlling the media, naming residents as balei machlokes just to remain in power, is weakness its not leadership. Telling people "we were here first"or  "no one asked you to move here" etc. is just insulting. Regardless, the way it is can not go on. 

The grassroots campaign is only taking off. Thanks to all the courageous candidates who listened to the people.

Unprecedented Election Campaign to Beat The Unqualified

If your looking for a silver lining the election, the Vaad with all its control and power, panicked. A few weeks prior, they wrote off the candidates as a joke and sat comfortably. Then the arrogance wore off they got very nervous and went into full panic mode. The  campaign they ran was unprecedented in Lakewood history for a primary election. To beat 4 unqualified candidates they spent over $50,000 dollars and went all out. Primaries used to be a cakewalk they would issue a letter the day before and that was it. For the first time  they got the Roshei Yeshiva to write a new letter in support of the Vaad, if that wasnt
enough the roshei yeshiva again put up new letters in yeshiva buildings on Election day telling the bnei yeshiva to go and vote. They cleverly painted the non endorsed candidates as bringing machlokes and pirud and called them names. They took control of the media and did not allow the message  from other candidates to get through to the masses.  There was a lot of money from special interest put in to fight off the unqualified and get the base to go out and vote. The Day of elections they hired workers stationed at strategic places around Lakewood handing out fliers who to vote for.  They did enough to win with help from seniors and all those who make money off construction and development. 
It was money well spent to know that 2000 residents took the time to vote for a better quality of life and a grassroots campaign has begun.

An Emboldened Vaad continues With Its spins

As the saying goes "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me".

Fresh off their "landslide" victory the Vaad goes back to the same games. Oh, they plan on setting up a forum or email for the residents to interact and reach out to the Vaad members, who were unreachable until now.
Read the Vaad letter below from 2006 what they also promised to do back then. 

The vaad had more than enough time to regroup refocus and truly represent the needs of the entire Lakewood tzibbur but did absolutely nothing. 

See you again in 2027 with the same spin.

From 11 years ago:
As for the restructuring of the Vaad, (Meir) Lichtenstein said: “The outreach the Vaad did before, and the issues that arose, were fewer because the community was smaller. I think the Vaad realizes that as the community grows they have to grow with the community.”

LAKEWOOD — The Vaad, an influential council of Orthodox Jewish leaders, will be restructured to better respond to the concerns of the township's fast-growing Orthodox community, the organization announced in a letter to Orthodox residents.

A council of rabbis is to be formed for the purpose of giving guidance to the 11-member Vaad, which issues political endorsements and takes positions on various civic matters. "It is the intent . . . to place the Vaad under the guidance of the Ichud Rabbonim (council of rabbis) and through that to ensure that the needs of the entire Kehilla (community) are appropriately met," the letter stated. The Vaad was created by leaders at Beth Medrash Govoha, the country's largest rabbinical college and center for Talmudic studies, which has long been the magnet that's drawn Orthodox families to Lakewood. Now, however, many of the newer Orthodox residents have no connection to the yeshiva, which has injected a new dynamic into town politics, say close observers of the Lakewood scene.

"We sincerely recognize that the Vaad . . . must adapt in order to better represent the needs of a growing and diverse (religious community)," the letter stated.

Joe Atlas, a Vaad member and spokesman for the group, said it has become increasingly difficult for the Vaad to respond to all the various concerns of residents as Lakewood's population grows. "As much as the Vaad tries to meet the needs of everybody in the community, it cannot meet with every single person," Atlas said.

The Vaad comprises 11 Orthodox leaders. The council of rabbis will include between 60 and 70 religious leaders from Lakewood's Jewish congregations, Atlas said.

The expectation is that the rabbis will be better able to keep their fingers on the pulse of the community and bring concerns to the Vaad, Atlas said.

In its endorsement letter, the Vaad wrote, "As we see it, municipal government needs to drastically and rapidly change across the board and become much more responsive to the needs of the Kehilla (community) and Yochid (individual)."

The Vaad endorsed two incumbent Orthodox committeemen seeking re-election — Meir Lichtenstein and Menashe Miller.


"We have asked Meir and Menashe to implement a forceful program of change in the way town hall is run and operates," the letter stated. "This will include some significant personnel changes and restructuring, backed by a continued aggressive advocacy for the needs of each and every individual in Lakewood.
