We as frum Jews follow the psak of rabbonim, not our feelings!

2) When the opposition chooses a battle ground that is uncomfortable – i.e. Maskilim using the WZO, do we back down because we don’t like the battleground and simply let them win? of course not.
3) How will it feel to not have voted and visit the Kosel next time and the mechitza has been removed? Or the Mivtzoim tefilin stand be completed to cater to women ? will you feel a sense of self righteousness or regret?
4) Besides for the funds that Frum Jewry will have access to ($2,000,000,000!) this will give Orthodox Jews major influence in Israeli Politics to accomplish things we hold dear
5) Mi Yehudi/Mamzerus is on the line here! The reform movement wants to change marriage and divorce laws in Israel. If the succeed ( and they have been majorly successful so far) we will become a nation of Mamzirim!
6) From the Rebbe RaShaB to the Rebbe RaYatz the Rebbe, The Rebbeim stood against Zionism 100% but also adjusted they’re “line of fire” as circumstances changed. When the “Medina” was created, the Rebbeim no longer fought against the Medina (like Satmar) but fought to keep the sanctity of Shabbos, Yahadus etc. alive in the new State.
7) This is Reform Jewry’s last gasp, if orthodox Jewry defeats them in this election – they will have nothing more to go on. The JTS ( Jewish Theological seminary – Where people go to become Conservative Rabbis) has had basically ZERO applicants. This is can be the decisive blow, How can we not seize the opportunity?

You register to vote
The $5 goes to pay expenses of voting
Secular voting company gets paid
Money cannot be used for anything else
Please re ask the question
You do not become a member
No money goes to any organization
We are stopping reform from harming yodishkeit
