One of the leading Gedolim Hagaon Hagadol R’ Shmuel Kamenetsky, the Rosh yeshiva of Philadelphia and member of the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah, has endorsed Lee Zeldin as New York’s next governor. See the full text and signed statement below.
13 Cheshvan 5783
We are all aware of the attack on Yeshivas in New York State, New York needs a Governor that defends the Yeshivas.
I therefore encourage everyone to vote for Mr. Lee Zeldin for Governor. Mr. Zeldin has pledged to help the Yeshivas, and Yeshivas will benefit from his governorship. When the Yeshivas benefit, Klal Yisrael benefits, and we have an obligation to help Klal Yisrael. Voting for Zeldin is doing something for Klal Yisrael.
I hope that everyone understands that we are obligated to do this. We must take the time to go and vote for Lee Zeldin.
We must vote for Zeldin. Hochul is a disaster for frum communities – how could any rav endorse her unless Kickback Kathy offered them money?
But we can’t blindly vote Republican either. Anthony D’Esposito is unworthy of being our Congressman. He talks the talk but has done NOTHING for us. He resigned from the NYPD in disgrace and said nothing when people in Rockville Centre tried to ban the construction of new shuls. To frum communities he puts on a kippah and says he’s on our side but then he allies with anti semites!!
