Editing Rabbi Ahron Yaakov Schwei (section)

== Crown Heights Rabbinate ==
On 20 Sivan 5760, [[Rabbi Yehuda Kalman Marlow]] passed away after a serious illness. About two years after his passing, the members of the Representatives Organization announced elections for the position of Rav. No additional candidate ran against Rabbi Schwei. The elections were held on Sunday 22 Cheshvan 5763 and thousands of neighborhood residents came to vote at the ballot box located in the basement of 770. After counting the ballots, it became clear that Rabbi Aaron Yaakov Schwei was elected as Mara D'asra and Beis Din member, receiving over ninety percent of eligible voters' votes.

A month later, during the central Yud Tes Kislev farbrengen in Beis Chayeinu, Rabbi Schwei was crowned as the neighborhood's Rav and Beis Din member in the presence of the other Beis Din member [[Rabbi Avrohom Osdoba|Rabbi Avraham Osdoba]], the representatives, Va'ad Hakahal members and neighborhood residents.

He served as an example and role model of bitul and hiskashrus to the Rebbe, and all his days he was permeated with anticipation for the true and complete Geulah. In his role, the Rav encouraged and strengthened belief in the Rebbe's eternal life and supported those involved in spreading the message of Geulah and the Redeemer. He also supported institutions that championed Geulah and Moshiach topics in the neighborhood like the Beis Moshiach weekly, Ohr Menachem Cheder, Eshel Hachnosas Orchim, World Ach Tmimim, Kupas Bochurim and others.
