Editing Crown Heights Beis Din (section)

== Elections of 5745 ==
About a year after the passing of Rabbi Zalman Shimon Dvorkin on 19th of Adar 5745, the members of the Va'ad Hakahal in Crown Heights requested from the Rebbe to appoint a new rav. The Rebbe's response was "This naturally belongs to the decision of the Jewish residents of the neighborhood, may they live." Following this, they established in the neighborhood an election committee called the "Representatives Organization," to which one representative from each shul in the neighborhood was sent to the committee, and Rabbi Eliezer Zirkind was appointed as its head.

While the Representatives Committee was preparing for elections, members of Agudas Chassidei Chabad decided to appoint a rav chosen by them and wrote about this to [[the Rebbe]]. The response was: "There were many meetings about this - with representatives of many shuls of the neighborhood and its institutions, and what is this sudden Agudas Chassidei Chabad world organization??" After such a clear response from the Rebbe and another sharp response, this interference attempt was dropped, and indeed on 1st of Nissan 5746 the Representatives Committee published the election details with the candidates being: Rabbi Avrohom Osdoba, [[Rabbi Mordechai Dovid Altein|Rabbi Mordechai Dov Altein]], Rabbi Dovid Chanzin, Rabbi Sholom Marozov, and [[Rabbi Yehuda Kalman Marlow]].

On 4th of Nissan the elections were held in the women's section of 770 and 90% of the neighborhood residents came and chose three rabbonim: Rabbi Dovid Chanzin, Rabbi Yehuda Kalman Marlow and Rabbi Avrohom Osdoba.
