How Borough Park Helped Bring Assisted "Suicide" Legislation To New York

After Seymour Lachman left the State Senate The Jewish community had a chance to put in someone who would fight for decency in the senate instead we stayed home and those who voted did so in what looks like a majority for a leftist pig (Diane Savino) who was one of the leading pushers behind same sex "marriage" and now Assisted "Suicide"


look at this map below and ask yourself could the Jewish community have brought out even 5,000 votes for someone decent?
now add in parts of Bensonhurst and Sea Gate and you'll see who is at fault.
Borough Park portion of Savino's 2004 district (click to see entire district which includes parts of Bensonhurst and all of Sea Gate)

Instead we had the Jewish "leaders" support this thing including outgoing state senator Seymour Lachman and Assemblyman Dov Hikind.



From her '04 flyer
"she has the energy, she has the intelligence, she has the integrity and she has the experience to be state senator"     Seymour Lachman  (I hope he has changed his mind since then)

notice that in the 48th and 49th AD's which Jews were most likely majority of the voters Savino actually won



Here are the Staten Island numbers when added together Savino only got 4,621 votes (including Jewish traitors)
When looking at these numbers it's obvious to everyone that we failed miserably and we unfortunately will be held accountable
And for the record just looking at her endorsements and we knew back in 04 that she was terrible.
  • She got the support of the Democratic Socialists of America (page 7) (they only endorsed 4 candidates in the state)
  • She was the only the only candidate who got the working families party line (it was more idealistic (meaning leftist) then too)
  • She was endorsed in the primary by Liz Kruger, and Toby Ann Stovisky 2 of the most leftists in the senate
  • She was endorsed by NARAL (a super pro abortion group)
  • MOST IMPORTANTLY SHE GOT THE ENDORSEMENT OF BROOKLYN'S GAY POLITICAL CLUB 



State Senators Look to Introduce ‘Death With Dignity’ Legislation This Month
By Jillian Jorgensen | 01/15/15 9:23am



After a terminally ill woman made headlines when she moved to Oregon so she could end her life under a doctor’s care, two State Senators are hoping to bring a similar law to New York.
“There are only five states in the country that allow for people to make end of life decisions similar to what Oregon does, and New York is not one of them,” former Borough Park State Senator Diane Savino told the Observer.

Brittany Maynard, 29, was suffering from brain cancer when she ended her life November 1 with a lethal dose of secobarbital prescribed by her physician. In New York, doing so would have put her doctor at risk of manslaughter charges, Ms. Savino said. She and State Senator Brad Hoylman want to change that with legislation Ms. Savino said they’d look to introduce by the end of the month.

“I was moved by Brittany’s story. I had seen her videos and felt compelled by the need, if I or any of my loved ones find themselves in a similar situation, to have that choice—and what a wonderful "gift" for her, that she was able to have a modicum of control over her end of life,” Mr. Hoylman told the Observer.

Mr. Hoylman, whose interest in the legislation was first reported by the Daily News, and Ms. Savino said the legislation would be modeled on the law in Oregon, a state Ms. Maynard moved to specifically so she could access its “Death With Dignity” law.

“What we’re looking to do is two things: amend the public health law in New York State to allow patients and doctors and family members of patients? to make end of life decisions that make sense for them, and two, to inoculate doctors who choose to do this from prosecution,” Ms. Savino said.
And Jewish leaders continued to support her




A patient would need to have a terminal illness that was verified by more than one physician, and have a prognosis of fewer than six months. The patient would need to be found to be of sound mind in a mental competency hearing verified by another independent psychologist which is not in Linda Rosenthal's bill (her's only mandates a psychiatric evaluation if a doctor demands it) which is presumably the same bill these 2 plan on sponsoring happens. If the patient met all the criteria, he or she could request in writing to be prescribed the lethal dose of medication.

“What we’ve found in other states that have this now is the vast majority of patients who elect to do so never use the prescription and that only 3% of people had a psychiatric evaluation,” Ms. Savino said, but simply want to know they have that power over their illness. “They have some control over what is an uncontrollable situation.”

The senators are working with "Compassion" and "Choices" who's founder Derek Humphry wrote a guide book on how to commit suicide that actually led to be people committing suicide, the advocacy group that published a video of Maynard discussing her choice to move to Oregon and set a date for the end of her life that put her—and the issue of "aid" in dying legislation—in the spotlight late last year. The group is continuing to lobby on her behalf for similar laws nationwide, along with Maynard’s husband Dan Diaz, who this week gave his first interviews since his wife’s death. Compassion & Choices also lobbied on behalf of another priority of Ms. Savino’s—the medical marijuana law passed last year.

Several years ago I got a call from a suburban police officer who sounded close to distraught.

He and his partner had just finished coming from the apparent suicide of a young woman who died of carbon monoxide poisoning in her family`s garage.
Among the young woman`s possessions, the officer had found a book. The book was called ``Let Me Die Before I Wake.`` 
``The book appears to be a guide to how to commit suicide,`` the officer said. ``It appears that the young woman may have read it before she killed herself.``
He wanted to know if such a book was legal. He said that it was written by a man named Derek Humphry, who was affiliated with something called the Hemlock Society. The police officer didn`t know if this was some sort of a cult, or what: ``It just seems wrong that people can read this stuff and learn how to kill themselves.``
(Chicago Tribune)


“Compassion & Choices, as Diane proved, is a terrific partner and has a lot of experience in the New York State legislature. That’s why I’m thrilled to partner with Sen. Savino on this issue,” Mr. Hoylman said, also noting Ms. Savino’s ties to leadership as a member of the Democratic Independent Conference which means that this bill might pass if she makes a deal with Dean Skelos who helped pass same sex "marriage" and the rishaim/idiots of the 5 Towns keep electing.

Still, the legislation could face an uphill battle. Many religious groups strongly oppose such measures, and it’s unclear if it would find favor with leaders in the Senate, dominated by Republicans, and Assembly, or with Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

It’s very controversial because it makes people uncomfortable, it really does. I never run away from the uncomfortable,” Ms. Savino said. like she did with people opposing same sex "marriage?  “But in passing I mentioned it to a couple of members and I was somewhat surprised to how supportive they were. There’s not a person who gets to the age of 30 in this world who doesn’t see, or hasn’t seen, someone they love suffer terribly.”

The "open minded" senator hung this outside her office during the fight to destroy marriage


Mr. Hoylman too thought it would be possible to pass the legislation, saying the state had a “sophisticated electorate”meaning  evil/liberal electorate and that they would work to educate means pressure colleagues on the need for the legislation.

“We’ll work on a bill that people are comfortable with, including the advocates, including groups that are concerned about making certain that there are adequate safeguards like Washington where only 3% of people had a psychiatric evaluation? in the legislation, and address concerns like insurance meaning you are now going to pay for murder and be a full partner in this crime and who makes these decisions I though they claimed it was the patient? and issues that are crucial to making certain that the process is not taken advantage of,” Mr. Hoylman said.

Similar legislation was passed by the New Jersey State Assembly, and Ms. Savino said she’d be watching the progress of the neighboring state closely. which is why everybody should lobby in NJ to stop this bill She’ll also take lessons from her lengthy push to pass medical marijuana, she said.

“Lesson number one: pay attention to your colleagues. Their opinions count,” she said. “Also, there’s a very distinct possibility that this could be a multi-year bill. I’m prepared for that.” which means we also have to prepare for that.

Why No Jew Should Vote For Chris Christie!

Currently, there is a grave issue in this country with Republican politicians caving in on same gender "marriage" and other devastating homosexual bills.


There are currently 3 Republican Senators in favor of same gender "marriage", including 2 in states where there is a large Orthodox population (Rob Portman- Ohio, Mark Kirk- Illinois, Lisa Murkowski-Alaska).  Last year there were none.  All these senators ran on a morality platform and have betrayed their constituents. Politicians do this because they know you are going to vote for them anyways. The only way to prevent them from voting like socially liberal democrats is if you don't vote for them.  

Recently, John McCain wrote an article condemning Russia's laws prohibiting the homosexual propaganda (teaching in schools about homosexuality, banning parades, etc). 
  • They write laws to codify bigotry against people whose sexual orientation they condemn.  (John McCain)
 Most prominently, former president, George W. Bush, was a witness in a same gender "marriage".

In fact the Washington Post Recently Wrote An Article Titled "Gay rights supporters wage a quiet campaign to push Republicans to the middle.  Furthermore they wrote

  • "But by proactively retracting his appeal, Christie gave voters in his blue state another reason to pull the lever for him in next month’s election.   Dropping the appeal did something else. It was an exhibition of the kind of leadership more national aspirants in the GOP would do well to emulate. Denying those couples the rights and responsibilities that come with civil marriage, denying anyone the full benefits of the American Dream, is not a winning strategy."     (Washington Post)
 Finally Christie has done more for the Toevah agenda then all the previous NJ governors put together. He passed a law that mandated teaching about homosexuality in public schools, banned therapy to help children lose their unwanted homosexual desires, and allowed same gender "marriage" to pass in the courts.
 
If you vote for Christie after he finalized the same gender "marriage", you will in essence be telling Republicans around the country you don't care about moral issues and that will lead to more Republicans caving in to the homosexual lobby. If you don't vote for Christie, but write in a vote in mass "no gay marriage" and Christie loses a lot of support because of that, Republicans around the country will be less likely to cave in to the homosexual lobby.

Gays Use Salgado's Overall Poor Numbers To "Show" NYers Are In Favor Of Toevah "Marriage"

So how did the National Organization For Marriage's endorsed candidate do in NYC primary?


by Jeremy Hooper
NOM publicly endorsed anti-gay Democrat Erick Salgado, a protege of their pal Rubén Díaz. This is what a NOM endorsement gets you in New York City:
(98% reporting)
201309110752
NYC primary results [New York Times]
In the endorsement of Salgado (which humorously misspelled Salgado's first name), NOM and its president, Brian Brown, also blasted Republican candidate Joe Lhota for supporting marriage equality. Joe Lhota easily won his primary and is now the city's Republican candidate for mayor.
A banner year you're having, NOM!

some of their comments
  • In any other organization such a stellar record of failure would have resulted in the top guy getting the axe long ago.

  • Today's lesson: If you are running for public office, one of your first priorities must be to assure that NOM does NOT endorse your candidacy.
  • Anthony Weiner got double the vote their bitch-boy got. The people have spoken. #NOMFail
(Goodasyou)
If the entire Jewish Community supported Erick Salgado this major Chillul Hashem would have been avoided! 
This Means You, Williamsburg

Williamsburg Votes Against Erick Salgado, Showing They Don't Care About God Or His Torah

Click on picture to see percentages clearly
Despite the fact that Williamsburg's is the Jewish Community that is most strongly effected by the anti Torah gezaros that have been passed recently, (the stores that the city is suing are in Willi, no neighborhood in the city practices MBP as much as Willi, They are the only majority Orthodox neighborhood that has a lot of toevanicks living in the area etc.) the community decided to continue supporting anti Torah political candidates.  Showing the clear disregard for the Torah, is the fact that Erick Salgado did much better in the Hispanic parts of Williamsburg then the Jewish parts. Only 1%-2% of  all the Jews who voted in Williamsburg decided to vote for a candidate that was supported by many rabbaniem for his stance on morality.  The day before the election there was a robo-call by Rabbi Nelkenbaum (the Mirrer RY) that went out to Williamsburg urging all the Jews to vote for mayor candidate Erick Salgado the only candidate to oppose toevah.  Both the Aroniem and the Nalmoniem continue to show they don't care about God or his Torah by supporting in block candidates who support kol hatoevos tachas hashemesh.

Flatbush Picks Erick Salgado; Votes Like Ovdai H' And Not Avodi Askoniem

Light blue are areas (EDs) where Erick Salgado won a plurality of all votes
The Jewish Community in Flatbush voted strongly for Erick Salgado showing the world that the Jewish people oppose toevah.  Mr Salgado's best area in the city were in Flatbush where he was pulling over 20% in most Election Districts (ED).  Salgado's best ED (numerically) in the whole city was in Flatbush where he got 41.6% The very Strong support for Erick Salgado is in a large part due the backing of many rabbaniem there especially the Sefardic Rabbaniem.  The largest credit goes to Rav Nelkenbaum the Mirrer Rosh Yeshiva and Posek who was moser nefesh for this campaign.  His last robo call urging Jews to vote for the Torah got many Jews to vote for the Torah and Kavod Shamiem.

Why It's Politically Smart To Vote For Erick Salgado!


Why It's Politically Smart To Vote For Erick Salgado
"Respected" members of our communities have impressed upon us the importance of maintaining a relationship with elected officials.  From the perspective of the administrator of a charity organization or its supporters, a stable relationship with the political establishment can be the key to successful advocacy.  However, from a community perspective, a philosophy of electing candidates based upon maintaining the relationships with our community spokesman is selling our community needs for pennies on the dollar.

The sad fact that most Jews don’t realize is that while a close personal relationship between askanim and politicians are often useful in securing “earmark” grants (otherwise known as “pork” to the secular world) for a few institutions.  On the most important issues of our time the rest of the community doesn’t benefit from the “close relationship” at all.  In fact, the continued support from askanim gives these politicians a sense of entitlement and being insulated and protected in their continued opposition to things that really would help yeshiva families, like enacting tax credits for tuition dollars (which do not violated the Blaine Amendment prohibiting government money to support private schools).

If we simply vote for a politician because he’s going to win anyway, then he’s not going to listen us, because he knows we’re going to vote for him anyway.  Why should a politician (who's main goal is to get reelected and/or advance to a higher office) make any sacrifices or risk crossing powerful anti-Torah social movements or unions, if he knows we’re going to vote for him simply because “he’s going to win anyway, or is slightly less evil than his opponent?”.

The lifeblood of a vibrant democracy depends upon the fact that the elected officials are held accountable to the public for re-election.  A politician who does not fear that he will be voted of office by his constituents will feel virtually no responsibility to respond to their needs and desires. 

Until now, our adversaries have demonstrated far more commitment to holding their elected officials accountable for supporting their ideologies that are counter to ours.  Our adversaries have demonstrated time and time again that they are willing to vote a politician out of office if he doesn’t support their agenda.  As a result, when an elected official for our communities is put under pressure to bow to their  anti-Torah measures, it takes virtually no time for him to weigh the threat of punishment from our adversaries against the promise of support that he’s received from our communities to choose the bad measure. 

The Jewish community has shown an ability to rise to the occasion to rally and prostest when things become urgent concerns (like Eretz Yisroel, or when Bloomberg wanted to get rid of the child care vouchers).  But the most important time to act should not be when the evil decrees are proposed.  We need to make our voices heard before then, at election time, to make sure our elected representatives know we mean business. A protest can only have value if the elected officials know that we are prepared to carry through on election day.

Now is the time to make our voices heard.  It’s not really Thompson, Quinn or DeBlasio that needs to hear our voices.  Whichever one who wins is not going to come back to ask our opinion once they’ve won office.  Mayor Bloomberg held a meeting with Rabbonim and askonim regarding metzizah b’peh when he was running for office.  But he had no problem reverseing course when he no longer needed something from us, he promised us the vouchers before his election and revoked them after he got our votes and was reelected.

The main act of speech is directed for the future candidates.  Elections happen every year.   Overreliance on the philosophy of choosing the “lesser of two evils” based on who is likely to win has led us to the situation where the lesser evil keeps getting more evil every election cycle.

Remember 20 years ago Christine Quinn wouldn't have even been able to run for mayor.

Every single one of the candidates except Erick Salgado has demonstrated that they lack the fortitude to stand against the political wind and defend our interests – our values, our pocketbooks and our safety – while the political trend is to do the opposite.

Dov Hikind's Wife Supports Erick Salgado For Mayor!

Erick Salgado's Petition
Blown up





Dov Hikind endorsed pro gay "marriage", UFT endorsed candidate Bill Thompson for mayor "based" on "education".  We respectfully ask Dov to from now on listen to his wife on all political decisions.

Dov Hikind said regarding his Thompson endorsement ”The bottom line is this: I support people who I think are going to be best. I don’t look at poll numbers.”   Dov seems to have confused himself with his wife!

Christine Quinn Sends Pro Gay "Rights" Literature Into Borough Park



A few questions to ponder
1. If she's already promoting homosexuality in BP before she's elected what will she do if CV she is actually elected?
2. If these pro toevanicks (gay activists) are so dedicated to be out on such a hot day doesn't that show us how dangerous they are?
3. how come Yosef Rapaport doesn't understand questions 1 and 2?
4. would Yosef Rapaport have a problem with her doing this if Quinn "only" did this in non Jewish areas (MZ is also assur for a Ben-Noach)?

Rabbi/Mohel Romi Cohen Endorses Erick Salgado


Erick Salgado's speech start at 7:23



 see a moving (different) video of R Romi Cohen's endorsement


Erick Salgado, the only conservative candidate running in the Democratic Mayoral Primary, has been endorsed by Rabbi Romi Cohen.

Rabbi Cohen, a respected leader in the Jewish community who has performed over 30,000 brisos, said, “I know one person who has in mind family values, ethics, morals and religious freedom, and this is Erick Salgado. He not only understands it, but is willing to fight for it.”

Beyond just endorsing Salgado, Rabbi Cohen issued this statement to the community, “It’s the obligation of every person, who’s concerned about the future of New York and the future of our lives and our children, to elect a person like Erick Salgado.”

Salgado thanked Rabbi Cohen saying, “I am most honored to have received Rabbi Cohen’s endorsement.  Rabbi Cohen is a community leader who has gained the trust of tens of thousands of parents over his long career one family at a time.  His sending out the message that community members should vote for me is especially meaningful.”

Salgado pointed out that, “My accent might be strange. My accent might be different. But my values are very similar to those of the Jewish community. I believe in a big family structure, in G-d Almighty, in family and in tradition. And that’s what separates me from the rest of the candidates.”

“Many of the candidates are very liberal and they mock us because we believe in G-d, because we believe in our religion.  We have to show them that we stand united, unwilling to compromise our beliefs and dedicated to maintaining the traditions we are required to follow.  City Hall must not interfere,” Salgado added.

Salgado has previously received public support from other leading rabbonim including Rabbi Avrohom Yaakov Nelkenbaum, Rosh Yeshiva of Mir;  Rabbi Israel Portugal, Grand Rabbi of Skulen; Rabbi Auziel Admony, of B’nai Yosef;  Rabbi Eliyahu Ben Haim, Av Beis Din, Rav Kehillah Yotzei Mashad, and YU Rosh Yeshiva; Rabbi Yisrael Neuman, Lakewood, Beis Medresh Gevoah Rosh Yeshiva; Rabbi Moshe Green, Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshiva D’monsey; Rabbi Shlomo Tzvi Stern, Debreziner; Rav Khal Yesodai Hatorah; Rabbi Amram Klein, Ungar Rav; Rabbi (Samuel) Shmuel Dovid Krausz, Udvari Rav and Rabbi Beni Rachmanov, a student of Rabbi Eliyahu Ben Haim and a leader in the Queens Bucharan community.

Lesbian Quinn Goes To An Orthodox Shul On Friday Night

 

Attorney General Eric Schneiderman accompanied Christine Quinn to Orthodox Shul on the Upper West Side Ohev Tzedek.  I do not know whether or not she got official approval from the Shul to show up, or if she even got any official acknowledgment that she was there.  It's also unclear if she used this opportunity to preach to Orthodox Jews about her "wife" like she did in Flatbush.  It is clear that for some reason she seems to be targeting the Orthodox Jewish community as of late (that makes zero political sense in terms of getting her elected) .  However It's clear to anybody with any sense that she only cares about our communities opposition to toevah, and by showing up for meaningless appearances she will lessen the Jewish communities opposition to toevah.

Mayoral Candidate Who Wasn't "Invited" Wins FJCC-COJO Forum

FJCC forum 018
Erick Salgado Wins FJCC Forum
 After Inviting, not inviting, inviting, and not inviting, and then re inviting him only for the last few minutes of the event Erick Salgado "crashed" the forum and won it, showing that the Jewish community follows the Torah and not "askoniem".

Erick Salgado won the event by being the strongest on MBP and other religious infractions even linking MBP to the previous Bris Milah ban attempts and the FACT that gays march every single year in NY's gay "pride" parade.  He further spoke about how the Jewish community came to this country for Freedom of Religion and how that is under assault. He also spoke very strongly about defending the Yeshiva Parents from high tuitions.

Rumor has it that COJO and the FJCC are very upset that Erick Salgado attended the event and even worse gained support in the Orthodox community.



From Yeshiva World News

It’s only a straw poll, so don’t give too much thought to the results. However, based on the response to our questionnaire by a diverse group of ages and gender, the results of our straw poll, conducted Tuesday night after the FJCC mayoral forum, reflect the overall public opinion polls.

There’s one exception though. Christine Quinn, who didn’t hide the fact that she’s from the LGBT community, switched places with Erick Salgado. Mr. Salgado, whose Orthodox supporters are passionate about his candidacy, got the support of 26% while Ms. Quinn was the preferred choice by 7.4%. Former Councilman Sal Albanese didn’t pick up any support among attendees at the forum. Yet he managed to impress, good enough to be considered as the second choice by 22%.

A whopping 62 percent said they do not trust the candidates based on their promises on the campaign trail while 20% said they do trust the candidates. 18% expressed no opinion.

While the Democrats can rely on the Orthodox Jewish voters to turn out in the primaries and influence the vote, they are unlikely to get the same level of support in the general elections when faced with a Republican challenger. According to our straw poll, only 26% are committed voting for the Democratic nominee in the November election while 34% plan to vote for the Republican nominee. 40 percent were undecided.
Full results below:
Q #1: If primary elections for mayor of New York City were held today who would be your choice in the Democratic party?
Erick Salgado 26%
Anthony Weiner 18%
Bill de Blasio 15%
Bill Thompson 11%
Christine Quinn 7.4%
John Liu 4%
Undecided or NE 18.6%
Q #2: Who is your second choice?
Bill Thompson 27.5%
Sal Albanese 22%
Bill de Blasio 17%
John Liu 16.5%
Anthony Weiner 6%
Christine Quinn 5%
Erick Salgado 5%
Q #3: Do you trust the candidates based on their campaign promises?
Yes 20%
No 62%
No opinion 18%
Q #4: In the general election November 5th, would you vote for the Democratic nominate, the Republican or an Independent?
Democrat 26%
Republican 34%
Undecided 40%

Video Of Rabbis Supporting Erick Salgado For Mayor



for Video of Rav Nelkenbaum's speech click here

Video of Rabbi Auziel Admony, Rabbi Beni Rachmanov, and Rabbi Romi Cohen (7:10) a Holocaust survivor and noted mohel. plus Ruben Diaz

Text of Rabbi Romi Cohen's speech
After World War 2, my country was Czechoslovakia, I was fighting the Nazis in the forests with the partisans, a unit of 250 men, and 25 of us survived, there's no one who was not injured.  I had the highest decorations which the could be give, for freeing the countries from the Nazis. I was very comfortable in my old county, all my friends had very high positions in government, I had open door where ever I went, and I decided to leave that country and decided to come to America. And I came here for only 1 reason because the Constitution provides freedom of religion. Unfortunately we just experienced the last few months, it's not really so.  The City of New York, the largest city in the world, having a mayor who is Jewish, his name is Bloomberg, and he came out with full force, with all his might, to fight religion, to deny circumcisions, which is a fundamental, the most important, basic of Judaism, and he is fighting it with all his might.  He came introduced a law, not to be able properly complete the Mitzva of Bris Milah (circumcision) with all kind of pretexts, blood libel, lies.  It's unheard of a Jewish mayor, the largest Jewish population in the world (the city of New York) and came out against; fighting god, fighting religion.  He was fighting, he was the main force fighting for homosexuality he was fighting for (some one called out toeivah).  We all know our bible, we know there was the flood in Noach's time, the world was wiped out (it was the great flood) and the final nail in the coffin was when they legalized homosexuality.  It shows you the demorality of our mayor, is something which you know, which is zero.  Therefore it's obligation to every decent person, if it's Jewish, or Christian or Muslim, any American who has a little bit of decency himself, has to make sure we don't get another Bloomberg, make sure we have a person like Erick (rest is obscured by clapping)

Rosh Yeshiva Of Mir, Rav Avrohom Yaakov Nelkenbaum Gives A Shiur On Why It's A Mitvah To Vote For Morality

Last night there was a fundraiser for mayor candidate Erick Salgado.

The rabbis who spoke were as follows:

The first speaker was the Mir Rosh Yeshiva, Rav Avrohom Yaakov Nelkenbaum, who missed seder to speak.

 He applied the Gemara in Shabbos daf 54B (kol me sheyaish biyado limchos, veainoh moche, nitfas beoso avon  If someone has it in his power to protest and prevent someone from doing a transgression and he doesn't, he's also punished for that transgression) to voting for pro morality candidates.

 He provided an additional insight, based on a vort from Rav Shmuel Berenbaum ZT"L, on the Rashi in Netzavim (Dev. 29:16-17) "vatiru es shkutiem v'ais gelulahem" - "and you saw the their disgusting thing and dung like idols... (and you'll be draw after those idolatries).  Rav Shmuel asked: why would you be drawn after such disgusting things?  He explained that when you see other people doing things - even disgusting things - you think that if everybody else is doing it, then there must be something to it.  So too, we, in the Jewish community, are affected by our surroundings.

He ended by reminding people that both Bob Turner and David Storobin "had no chance", but God runs the world - and they won.


The next speaker was Rabbi Auziel Admony, assistant Rabbi of Bnai Yosef Torah Center, who spoke. He said "This is not considered a political event. It's a religion issue. It's a religious obligation
to be here tonight and support the campaign of Mr. Salgado."  Afterwords Rabbi Admony gave Erick a 100$ check for his campaign.

The next speaker was Rabbi Beni Rachmanov, a Bukharian Rabbi in Queens. He compared Jews in America today to Jews in Spain before the expulsion.

Finally Rabbi Romi Cohen a Holocaust survivor and noted mohel described how he came to this country - specifically because the first amendment guarantees freedom of religion - a liberty currently under assault.  He ended off by describing Mishkav Zachar as the avariah of the flood (Bereishis Rabbah 26-9)
