Assembly Member Aron Wieder Expands Outreach to Rabbinic Leaders Following Chinuch Bill Victory

Following the historic passage of the Chinuch Bill, Assembly Member Aron Wieder has continued his dedicated outreach to rabbinic and community leaders to share the details of this landmark legislation and its significance for the frum community. In a series of meetings in New Square, Wieder visited the Skverer Rebbe’s sons, Rabbi Aron Mendel Tversky and Rabbi Chaim Meir Twersky, both of whom were deeply involved in advocating for the bill. The rabbis expressed keen interest in the legislative process, and Wieder recounted the remarkable achdus among askanim that led to the removal of the gezeiras hachinuch through the new Chinuch Bill. He highlighted the collaborative efforts of frum elected officials, community leaders, and key allies in Albany, which were pivotal to this success.

Rabbi Aron Mendel and Rabbi Chaim Meir were visibly moved by the account of unity and dedication, offering heartfelt brachos to Wieder and all involved for their tireless work in safeguarding chinuch for future generations. They praised the strategic coordination that ensured the bill’s passage, emphasizing the importance of continued advocacy to protect the community’s values.

Wieder also met with local rabbonim in Monsey to personally inform them of the Chinuch Bill’s impact and implementation. Among those visited were Harav Halberstam, Gaavad Satmar of Monsey; Harav Vozner, Av Beis Din of Yitav Lev Satmar of Monsey; Harav Wettenstein, Domets Belz of Monsey; Harav Rabinovitch, Av Beis Din of Bobov 45 Monsey; and Harav Grunwald, Av Beis Din Pupa of Monsey. Additionally, Wieder met with Harav Shabbes, Harav Langer, Harav Levitan, and Harav Neuberger. In each meeting, he shared the critical role played by New York State Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, whose support was instrumental in navigating the legislative process.

The rabbonim expressed profound gratitude for the bill’s passage, commending Wieder for his leadership and the unprecedented achdus displayed by the community. They were particularly encouraged by the collaborative spirit that united askanim, elected officials, and community organizations in this effort. Each rav offered warm brachos, praying that Wieder continue to serve as a shliach tzibbur, bringing further positive outcomes to the community through such unity.

Wieder emphasized his commitment to maintaining close ties with rabbinic leaders and community stakeholders as the Chinuch Bill moves into its implementation phase. “This victory belongs to our entire community,” he stated. “The achdus we’ve shown is a model for future advocacy. I am deeply honored to work alongside our rabbonim and askanim to ensure our children’s chinuch remains strong and protected.”

These meetings underscore the strong partnership between Wieder, rabbinic authorities, and community leaders, reflecting a shared dedication to advancing the frum community’s priorities. As the Chinuch Bill begins to take effect, Wieder’s ongoing engagement signals a proactive approach to ensuring its success and building on this momentum for future legislative efforts.
