Any Frum city has an infrastructure of essential needs that are here for the tzibbur and belong to the shtut. Many frum communities have services and organizations such as Mikvaos, Chevra kadisha, Kashrus, Mosdos haTorah,Mosdos hachesed such as hatzolah, bikur cholim, and many chesed organizations. In a perfect world, they are under a elected vaad haair which are appointed by the tzibbur and there is accountability and transparency in those who are appointed to run these services.
Services which are communal in nature that are controlled by yechidim serving the needs of a few at the expense and quality of life of the klal. Unfortunately, when yechidim control the services of the tzibbur their personal interests come first. Self appointed community liaisons with government officials is no help when the focus is only on furthering ones personal interest and advancement.
Self appointed spokesmen and Vaads who claim to represent the majority are a perfect example. They issue statements to the media which only do harm. The
reaction and statements to the press following the public arrests in Lakewood is a prime example of the majority of the Tzibbur held hostage by a few individuals. The עוסקי תורתיך were thrown under the bus and publicly shamed. A city and town of טהורים is taken advantage of by a few who abuse the koach Hatzibbur for personal gain.
