Preparations for local elections in the city of Emanuel are
at their height. Residents of the city feel these elections,
on the upcoming 23rd of Cheshvan, are more critical than
ever, and will determine whether the city will flourish from
a spiritual and material standpoint or, chas vesholom,
fall apart.
Support is building for the Lev slate, which includes the
Chanichei Hayeshivos and Gra kehillos, as well as the
Slonim and additional Chassidic groups. The Lev slate is
running for the council only, and is headed by Rabbi Abir Har-
Even, a representative of the bnei Torah community who
is also a rosh kollel in Emanuel. Rabbi Har-Even was
formerly the chief scientist of the Kitan Dimona
enterprise.
Second on the slate is Rabbi Yitzchok Weinberg, director of
the Rechovot kashrus network of Rav Avrohom Rubin.
List supporters are certain that these two candidates will
serve them honorably.
Other slates are also running for the council. It was decided
that it is healthiest to field a number of groups rather than
to try to unite in one large party. This will serve to ensure
that every individual social group finds full expression for
its needs.
All of the slates have united for the election of Reb
Yissochor Frankental as head of the local council.
Communal leaders note that the Emanuel campaign serve as an
model of an election without disputes, and of outstanding
cooperation among all sectors of the populace.
Broad groups from all circles of the city feel that the
prospects of effecting an improvement in the city's situation
depend upon the election of Rabbi Yissochor Frankental. As a
result, they are doing their utmost to help him win and to
influence the residents of Emanuel to vote.
Every evening, residents of the city, among them talmidei
chachomim, communal leaders and laymen, arrive at
election headquarters, and offer their help. Former residents
of Emanuel still eligible to vote there are urged to utilize
their rights to vote. Their vote will contribute to the
success of the campaign.
Emanuel's activists ask all those who can organize car pools
or other vital activities to call the election headquarters
