Overheard on our shailah hotline

Q: There are some kehilos that upon the hanging of Haman clap and have extra celebration. Is this a violation of what Chazal teach us- "?מעשה ידי טבו בים ואתם אומרים שירה"

A: Rav Moshe Kaufman responds:


Even if that idea applies even to the umos haolam, it does not apply to the destruction of Amalek, in which Hashem commands us to destroy (see Pri Tzadik Chanukah 15) and many other sources.

Skokie Residents: Order Your Mail Ballots for the Critical Upcoming Municipal Election

Agudath Israel's Voter Concierge Service is here to assist Skokie residents with voter registration, early voting, and ordering mail ballots for the critical upcoming municipal election.

The best way to ensure your vote is counted is by voting early. Early voting begins on Monday.


Locations:


Early Voting hours at these locations are Monday – Friday 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM, and Sunday 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM.


Registered voters can order mail ballots online to be delivered to their home or any other address in the country (e.g. students attending school out-of-state, snowbirds, etc.). Simply click here to order your ballot, or contact us for assistance. Upon request, our Voter Concierge Service can provide secure ballot pickup and delivery as well.


Please note, if you order a mail ballot, you can still choose to vote in-person at early voting locations beginning March 17, or at your polling place on April 1, as long as you bring the mail ballot with you, or sign an affidavit that you lost/destroyed the mail ballot.


It's a great way to vote from the comfort of your home, as well as a way to ensure you cast a ballot if unanticipated circumstances make it difficult to get to the polls.


If you are not yet registered, click here to register online. The deadline is this Sunday.

For all your voting needs and questions, reach out to Zahava Weldler, GOTV Coordinator via email or phone at vote@agudahil.org or 773.318.6011.
