Kiryas Joel Committee of Peace & Harmony ad in the Times Herald Record Sunday June 28, 2015.
Dear Friends & Neighbors,
We the undersigned are living in Kiryas Joel and are members of the newly formed Kiryas Joel Committee for Peace and Harmony. According to the Torah by which we abide we must live peacefully and humbly with our neighbors. This is the way of the Jewish people and the beliefs which our blessed founder Grand Rabbi Joel Teitelbaum dedicated his life to spreading with his known war against Zionism and the state of Israel which have broken the laws of exile.
From United Monroe:
Yvette D’LuXe D’Void, this is a complex situation.
It’s the KJ leaders, who we refer to as the KJPE (Kiryas Joel Power Elite) who wield all of the control over their citizens.
This so-called government controls everything- the housing, who gets to pray and where, the yeshivas, it’s all connected.
From Preserve Hudson Valley:
Awareness is everything. Telling your family and friends about the causes Preserve Hudson Valley is supporting is extremely important and helpful. When you are out around town, or anywhere in the region, make sure to spread the word. Forward our newsletter emails, re-tweet our tweets, share our blog posts, all of these actions are a display of support.- preservehudsonvalley.org

Abandoned toys litter the village. Tricycles are toppled on lawns. Red wagons rest beneath mailboxes. Big Wheels are strewn across apartment-complex courtyards. Hundreds of toys are sprawled over these 691 acres, but there’s not a child in sight. It’s midmorning, and all the kids are in school.

Since taking leadership of the Village of Kiryas Joel in New York in 1990, the political leaders have exploited the ‘bloc’ vote to control local and state politicians and judges.
Jacob Teitelbaum has been severely emotionally injured by the Kiryas Joel Village leadership. As an effect of their Block Vote abuse:
His family was broken up

“What has Harley (Doles) promised KJ?” Kassoff said. “What did he receive in return for the bloc vote? In the one time that we were given the privilege of the floor at the last meeting, there was not a single answer to a single question posed. We spoke for over an hour, and the town board will not answer. They’re acting like a dictatorship. This was an outrageous election, we were completely disenfranchised.”

Village leaders claim lawsuit has ‘no merit’

Conflicts continue to brew between two factions in the Village of
Kiryas Joel, leading to a federal lawsuit announced Monday. In a
previous skirmish between the two Kiryas Joel groups, the majority
faction sent a backhoe to demolish part of the area in front of the
dissidents’ shul in October 2009. Dissidents prevented it that day,
but demolition resumed the following June.Times Herald-Record/TOM BUSHEY
A letter from Assemblyman James Skoufis to DEC Commissioner Martens urging him to designate the Monroe-Woodbury Central School District or DEC as lead agent in the 507-acre…
February 13, 2014
Mr. Joseph Martens
Commissioner
New York State Department of Environmental Conservation

Albany, NY 12233
We counted 250 people inside the Senior Center and many were forced (once again) to stand in the cold outside due to Harley Doles’ refusal to accept the School District’s offer to utilize one of the auditorium’s for board meetings.
To boil down the latest on the annexation issue, there is a definite dispute going on as to who will be “lead agency”. Lead agency is designated by the DEC (Department of Environmental Conservation) when there is a dispute over which party should have lead agency status.
***FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE***
(KIRYAS JOEL, NY)—Kiryas Joel Village is known by their corrupted leadership which is corrupt from top to bottom. There is no need to dig a lot to get familiar with the Kiryas Joel history. By doing a simple Google search you will find court proceedings and media stories about continuous election fraud, abuse of political power, government and tax funds and violence and corruption. The more you will search the more you will find.
Now Kiryas Joel wants to extend their borders, and annex from the Town of Monroe another 500 plus acres. The people who live in the Town of Monroe are terrified for their well-being, and the security of their future. They feel as if the grave has opened underneath them, and with good reason.
From United Monroe
Town Board Meeting Synopsis- Monday, January 27th.
Thanks to all who showed up last night, waited in the cold to get in the building, held signs, and passionately stood strong for our community.
There were around 300 people present at the meeting. There were 4 armed security guards present. One guard was stationed at the door with a clicker counting citizens as they entered.
The situation in Monroe is not ‘hopeless’ or ‘unwinnable’
The Photo News: Published Jan 17, 2014 at 11:06 am (Updated Jan 17, 2014)
I would like to clear up confusion regarding the proposed Kiryas Joel annexation: Kiryas Joel filed a petition requesting to annex 510 acres of land from the Town of Monroe into Kiryas Joel.
You are invited to come to New York.
Crime does not start or end at Ney Jersey.
Kiryas Joel also deserves your attention!
