To be a part of the Geula, redemption, we need to be on a winning team. On G-d's team. Do we really want to partner with the Democrats right now? Are they G-d fearing? Are they advocates and adherents of the 7 Noahide Laws incumbent on all of humanity.

It doesn't really matter what they promise the Jewish Community if it's only quid pro quo. If they are G-dless, we will one day be at their mercy chas vesholom, Heaven forbid, if we empower them now. Think of the unfortunate elderly in nursing homes who recently died of the virus due to mismanagement from the Governor down and due to an uncaring attitude and poor judgement. Think of those in hospitals who died of neglect due to the unscrupulous life and death decision making of individuals given the authority to make life and death choices when there was no G-d fearing oversight.

Now we see more than ever why we must only elect G-d fearing public servants. That is our Hishtadlus, our required intervention. The rest is up to G-d.

Are Chaim Dovid Zwiebel and Leon Goldenberg supporters of deBlasio as the NY Post articles suggest? Maybe seeing the treatment of Chasidim in Williamsburg who also supported deBlasio serve as a wake-up call. Are we so blinded? Hashem Yishmor! May G-d Protect us!

Let's not be sheep who simply follow the sheep in front of them (to paraphrase Rabbi Alon Anava). We must rid ourselves of a sheep mentality as the Israelites did when they left Egypt and tied the sheep to their individual doorpost and then slaughtered it.

Let's individually and united, join the winning team.. G-d's team.

Emails reveal Mayor de Blasio 'abused his power' to help stall yeshiva probe

Is Goldenberg a "longtime friend and donor" of deBlasio? Are we blinded from joining a winning team because of all the millions coming from the city via Democratic party for pre-k and security and stem? Yaffed stinks in that this Organization is being used for payback for real or imaginary abuses.

Yeshiva education as a whole has a proven track record of being high quality, compared to public schools with test scores usually scoring higher than public schools..

However, if certain Yeshivas are not up to secular standards it can be proven that even without a solid background in secular studies, graduates of such Yeshivas have a great track record of not being delinquents, drug addicts and criminals. They can always supplement their education. They do not pose a threat to society at large.

Of course Yeshivas should be encouraged and motivated to provide quality secular education, the 3 Rs reading writing arithmetic in early education and a regents diploma option . But even if mastery of the English language doesnt quite meet standards, more importantly, values that respect personal and property rights of others, as well respecting the law of the Land דינא דמלכותא דינא has far greater importance . These values are an integral part of Jewish religious education and upbringing in both ultra Orthodox as well as modern Jewish Orthodox circles.

However if Sodom laws of immorality and protection of dangerous criminals, laws that threaten a G-dly society is legislated, how can we as a people " A Light into the Nations" respect and obey the "law of the land"?

Even students whose English skills are sub standard, but are highly literate in Hebrew,Yiddish and Aramaic and have advanced analytic skills from their Talmudic studies, have the tools, if they need, to master NY academic standards. So long as the curriculum does not negate fundamental religious and moral teachings, even ultra Orthodox and Chasidic communities should have no objection should parents or students choose on their own to supplement the education of private schools who don't meet State standards.

Pushing progressive leftist values such as gender equality, pro choice (ie late term abortion etc,) should not be even subtly incorporated into required common core, as these values are inconsistent with Judaism as well as the 7 Noahide Laws. Such a curriculum should not be dictated by the State. So long as "parent's choice" don't violate the 7 Noahide Laws and the Judeo Christian values this great Land was founded on, there should be no punitive action taken against such parents even if the "standards" of the private run school doesn't match the same "standard" of the secular State.

Of course, traditional English and math proficiency is required for society and for many jobs as well and therefore desireable. Students therefore will eventually supplement the void when necessary.

In search for debate-qualifying donors, de Blasio finds help among Orthodox Jews

Money we get from the city with a quid pro quo understanding is too often blood money buying silence in protesting the Iran Deal and problematic legislation. Democrats, like Sodom are legislating or attempting to legislate, criminal and immorality into the law of the Land and with a majority voting against traditional values, voting the party line, there is not much we can do to change the law unless we change the governing party to overrule such legislation

Is NY going in the footsteps of California who have voted more left as the years go by?
