Editing Rabbi Yosef Yeshaya Braun (section)

== Election to the Crown Heights Beis Din ==
In Elul 2010, he was announced as a candidate for the Crown Heights Beis Din by Rabbi Aharon Yaakov Schwei. On 26 Elul 2010, he was elected by majority vote as the neighborhood's rav with over one thousand residents voting for him[5].

On 12 Shevat 2011, Rabbi Braun was installed as the third rav in the Crown Heights Beis Din, alongside the serving rabbonim Rabbi Osdoba and Rabbi Schwei.

With Rabbi Braun's relocation from Sydney to Crown Heights, and his active service as one of the neighborhood's rabbonim, a significant positive change was felt in all the activities of the Crown Heights Beis Din. The main emphasis was on strengthening the connection between the Beis Din and the kehilla, expressed through halachic guidance sheets before yomim tovim, frequent visits to the many shuls scattered throughout the neighborhood, a seasonal newsletter reporting on the rabbonim's activities in the Beis Din and office hours, and more.
