New LJN Feature for Upcoming Elections – Connect to your Candidates

Leave a Comment

In an effort to take the local elections from a list of recommended names on a website or piece of paper in shul to something “real” with issues that do really affect us and real people behind them, we have come up with a new feature just in time for the November 5th election. We have asked selected candidates from various races in the localities of our Orthodox Jewish communities to share a little about themselves and to highlight their own opinions and positions that may be important to our community. This is a purely unbiased non-editorial feature. Recommendations from JVOTE and other LJN readers will continue to be available. Look for our first feature introducing Melissa Yasinow.

Melissa Yasinow, Candidate for CH Council – LJN “Connect to your Candidates” Feature

1 Comment

yasinow(OOPS!I mistakenly put the wrong name. MELISSA!! If you have any questions for this candidate, leave a comment.)

As a candidate for Council, I am proud to continue my family’s long tradition of Jewish leadership in Cleveland Heights and in Greater Cleveland. Ever since my great-great grandfathers Menachem Mendel Madorsky and Jacob Makoff founded Zemach Zedek and Heights Jewish Center, civic engagement has been part of my and my family’s very being.  For example, my grandfather, James Yasinow, is a former candidate for the CH-UH Board of Education, and he, my aunt (Debbie Yasinow), and my father (Dr. Eric Yasinow) are all in the Heights High Alumni Hall of Fame.
