Every Crown Heights school joined the Crown Heights Beis Din and a long list of local shuls encouraging residents to register to vote in order to be able to vote in the upcoming Democratic primaries.
The schools issued a letter to their parent bodies, and the shuls and rabbonim issued an open letter to the community.
Both letters urge community members to register and vote, to ensure the community has a say in the issues that will affect them over the next four years. The need is especially urgent as there are forces who are working tirelessly to undermine and hurt our Yeshivas.
Below is the letter sent by all Crown Heights schools.
Dear Parent,
On Tuesday, Yud Beis Tammuz (June 22, 2021), they city will hold the democratic primary election for Mayor, Comptroller, Borough President and members of the New York City Council. (There are three council districts that serve Crown Heights. Districts 40, 35 and 41.)
The people chosen in this election will run New York City for the next four years, and will have a major impact on the lives of every family and individual in Crown Heights, but most importantly on our schools.
There are forces who are working tirelessly to undermine and hurt our Yeshivas. Therefore, we are calling on you dear parent to please help us fight to protect our Yeshivas. We need you to go out register and vote. Your vote will help us unite with our fellow Jewish brothers and sisters across other communities in the city to ensure we protect and secure the future of our Yeshivas. Every vote will count and make a difference!
We must make sure that every person over 18 in our homes are registered at his or her Crown Heights address to vote.
So, please help us to help you, and vote to protect our community, our way of life and most importantly our children’s future. Their future is in your hands and the hands of those elected.
If not, us then whom, and if not now than when?
