great for williamsburg smell the fresh egg kichel herring vodka
Felder is looking for a new job.
וויפיל איז געווען די חילוק אין וויליאמסבורג זעלבסט???
I cant believe he lost-sorely disappointed
How much did Silver win by?
it is time for a change, when williamsburgh housing is geting worse from day after day.
Squadron’s victory is great news,for all kehillos,
in williamsburg.
This breaks the unjust Monopoly,that was in the
hands,of a few machers,from the OLD SATMARS.
From now on all the kehillos,and organizations,
will share,in the representations,to to the Klal.
The kashrus of the Eruv in williamsburg,is now
on a stronger footing,as the old Satmar,can no longer claim that he is the MORO D’ASRA.
Any breakdowns from WillY and BP?
stop this anti Felder. He is not a bad person. He may have made some mistakes, but stop. Let him live life as a private citizen, poor neshume
so sad felder lost
Oy reb simcha
OK so now for all of you lets see what your winner will do!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A note to felder. Many of us young voters are republican and could not vote.
Poor Simcha Felder. So much money spent on his campaign…and he gets nothing out of it.
Not nice that people are dancing he is a yid. I guess people do not vote blindly and demand results, but still we should not celebrate.
Connor won big time in Willy, 2791 versus Squadrin won got only 1548.
Ki B’Simcha Tzetzeui
Oi, If Simcha loses we all lose
Long live King Dov Hikind! He picked the winner yet again.
Let him not forget to clean out his desk in City Hall
oy simcha… what will we do without simcha… oy vey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A real tragic loss for felder and the jewish community. He really could’ve helped us (mosdoses especially) with his position as a state senator.
My sympathies to Simcha, he ran an excellent campaign. But the voters have spoken, and lets hope Kevin Parker will continue to deliver as he has in the past. There is no reason to celebrate that Simcha lost – that is vicious! We are before Yom Hadin, may we all be zoche to score big, but we certainly wouldnt expect people to celebrate our “losses” C”V.
wait, now that felder lost does that mean that his ads are true? did all the yeshivos and children in the yeshivas lose too???
SIMCHA DON’T GIVE UP
Some observations by a total ignorati:
1. Someone up there writes “The kashrus of the Eruv in williamsburg,is now on a stronger footing, as the old Satmar, can no longer claim that he is the MORO D’ASRA”!
I pulled out Hilchos Eiruvin, looked carefuly with a microscope, but couldn’t find for the life of me how a NYS Senate primary strentgthens the tora’dige foundation of the Willie Eiruv!
2. History teaches us that TOIVOS we can have graciously and gladly, in more abundant fashion, from a Goi rather then from one of ours.
To anon 10:58. Re: “The voters have spoken”. Maybe the reason he lost was because he had no voters. Just think, all he needed was less than 2500 votes more. If only more people went out to vote……..
sorry simcha, try running as an independent in the general election. it was a close race. as a previous commenter noted- republicans couldn’t participate in this primary vote. in addition I think many more people who abstained from voting in the primary for whatever reason will now come out to vote in the general election especially because you lost the primary & they won’t take your re-election for granted. best of luck & thanks for good work you’ve accomplished. remember- go independent. hope to see you in november
Don’t Forget Its
Rosh Chodesh Elel
Whats the deal with squadron and meziza, was it just a campaign tactic?
Chayachu kudmin- I need the extra $8.00, were paying enough toll.
Always be B’Simcha
we all (boro park)feel like a family without a father!! SIMCHE! WE WILL MISS YOU DEARLY! but we know you will make it thru. and stay B’SIMCHE….
bh satmar won the people of williamsburg won,it was time for a change,and our voices were heard loud and clear,we want housing we dont want bike lanes,we need more then just our garbage picked up on pisech,
mazel tov shelly silver.
you are a shining star to all the yidden!
MAZAL TOV TO DAN SQUADRON A HUGE WIN – BIGGEST VICTORY OF THE NIGHT IN THE ENTIRE NYS
run as independent it might work.
i want to see the bike lane removed!!! i want action from the ahronim not words i want to see housing!!!
If you think that Squadron winning will make a difference to any 1, wake up!!.
The only one who wins is Bloomy, he wanted to get rid of Conner.
to 26 as a btw I’ll teach you that to make an eiruv you most obtain permission from an official city worker acording to halacha and now as we-the frum yiden who follow the halacha-can have an official that represents us we all know of someone in the city who gives full permission for the eiruv
I went to vote this evening (16&56), I found out that SIMCHA was not running in my district, there seemed to be some confusion to which part of Boro Park Simcha was running in. Can some please clarify this.
We will miss you Simcha!!!
Actually, i went to vote for felder but they didnt let me vote for him because they said he’s not in my district. Does that make sense? I live in 54th street area. Anybody else have this problem with your voting places?
Less then 4500 Jews voted in Boro Park, so could someone tell how the Voters have spoken? We never voted, not only is Parker right that the Jews don’t vote, but any Candidate that runs for any public office will know now that us in Boro Park don’t vote and won’t care, Just like Parker didn’t care for the past 6 years.
There were two problems and reasons why Simcha Felder lost. many voters that were interviewed at polling sites stated that they were angry that he voted for the congestion pricing plan. Some voters insisited that he was a good person but could not care less how many good things Simcha has done and what bothered them was congestion pricing ans this was to stick it to him and Bloomberg.
And the main problem was frum jews did not go out and vote. All we do is complain about everything under the sun and about every politician and how we do not get the needs for our community met. When we have a chance to do something about it and all it takes is 8 minutes at a polling site everyone has dumb excuses why they can’t go out and vote. This election says it all and nobody should dare complain that elected officials do nothing for housing, school vouchers and other needs of our community.
We do not vote and people in governement know it.
Do you realzie that important officials never come running to Boro Park,Flatbush or 5 towns because people in these communities do not vote.
We always see elected officials running to Willaimsburg and New Square and towns that mean something when it comes voting time.
Keep on sitting on the tuchis and get the same results every year. NOTHING.
felder had it coming he should not have gotten involved with the dumb satmer poltics it was a dumb politcal move
Felder made 3 big mistakes.
1) not listening to Dov Hikind when DOv told him for what to un for
2) congestion pricing
3) getting invovled with taking sides with Satmer
Two out of the three had nothing with doing what is right. SImcha Felder did not practice his own preech!
Simcha messed up here and we wish him well. Simcha just did not play his cards right and this also proves that voters sent a message to Bloomberg that we will not vote for anyone that he wants because all it means to city residents is the people Bloomberg wants are his little puppies.
Bloomberg screwed up with the congestion pricing and now voters are sticking it to him and any elected official that went along with it.
All the people that lost tonights elction were for the congestion pricing and has close relationships with the mayor.
To Anan 11.52
As you can see people in BP did go out to vote for Simcha, but he was not on the ballot.
Nothing we can to about it
To all the people that didnt stop campaigning, Zooming, Booming, & turning wmsbg. in2 a WAR ZONE 2day:
U all said: “WMSBG NEEDS A CHANGE”… doesn’t that sound familiar……??? isn’t this a sentence create’d by our (LOVELY) O’bama???
lets all see now WHAT SQUADRON WILL DELIVER!
u ALL did it DAVKA 2 beat & b M’tzaar our big asken & tzadik REB MOSHE DUVID NIDERMAN.
& by the way: in “wmsbg” (YIDISHE VOTES,) its 100% sure that conor MADE IT, but be advised that not only yiden r voting, so WITH THE HELP OF NON-JEWISH VOTES squadron will keep us all siting & waiting 4 his “o’bama changes” till bias hamushiach…..
bimheru b’yumeinu amen.
There are about 11,000 registerd Yiden in the 21st Senate Disrict. Felder got 6994 votes about 4500 Yiden voted, he lost by 2340 votes, Any elected official looking at these numbers say one thing JEWS DON’T VOTE.
Shande and a bisha!!!
Oh forgot tomorrow people are going to call Felder’s office please help me with this or that. Shame on all of us.
Jews do not vote because they have to get paid to go out and vote. Nebach. If only a few thousand can actually get off their couch and do something for the community.
People in Boro Park are so lazy.
Maybe if the rules for benefiting from section 8, food stamps, wic, medicaid and all the other freebies were only if you go out and vote would it make a difference.
Do we have to pay people to go out and vote?
Do we have to give free bagels and lox or a 5.00 door prize?
What will it take for people to realzie how dumb they are for not voting?
The entire community is now effected by poor dumb decisions.
And the Aguda wonders why they lost 11 million dollars in funding? Maybe this is the reason?
