Politicians in New York looking for the Rabbis homes

This summer is expected to be hot in New - York - primarily in the Orthodox - internal political arena.

In November municipal elections will be held in the country, in which will compete and be elected mayor, city council members and managers of every department. This is the moment of haredim in New York, as many politicians beg for the orthodox vote, hoping to gather votes and support among the most significant and disciplined sector, especially in time for the primaries in the democratic parties.

Because of this, many visits of the likely candidates are due to take place to the home of Rebbes and Rabbis, hoping to get their support for the elections. It is likely that the issue of 'mouth sucking' during circumcision, which stirred quite a storm last year, will be one of the pressing and critical issues on the rabbis table, during the visits of the candidates.

The first wave of visits is already underway. Today arrived the New York Senator Eric Adams, seeking to run for the role of 'Brooklyn district president' in New York City, which is the springboard job role and more senior level, to the Hatzalah offices in Williamsburg, accompanied by haredi politicians. Following that he came to visit the Kerala Rebbe and was warmly received.

Adams is the first to come, and time will tell if he indeed will be supported by the ultra-Orthodox.
