It's frustrating and difficult to put pen to paper sometimes (or fingers to keyboard), seeking principally to provide information, drive transparency and further improvements knowing that the capacity for misinterpretation or extrapolation can be easy and far from what is written.
But first, let's begin with the success stories.
There has been much to comment on regarding the ongoing Yeshivah Election Process, with a number of the kick-off issues regarding process and transparency outlined in the Blog, SO LET'S TALK ELECTIONS of 9 October, which generated enormous interest.
It was the appropriate service to the Yeshivah community to see the letter released by Mr Yudi New, on Friday14 October providing the answers to so many of the issues raised in the Blog.
Getting it right 2nd time around shouldn't really be a matter for congratulations, it's important to have these matters sorted from the beginning. Nevertheless, congratulations, for being responsive to the community call over the past week and addressing the issues.
I hope many of the readers of this blog have felt positive in seeing the provision of clarification that has come out of the Yeshivah Centre on this subject.
This blog has had nothing to say on the Royal Commission, no doubt everyone in the Yeshivah Community awaits the relevant Report. This blog has expressed no thoughts about whether anybody should serve on a Yeshivah Board nor whether Trustee appointees could be trusted to do the job or ‘represent’ Trustee interests. This blog has had no over-arching emotive remarks to make about the election process, about sharing a Board with Trustee appointees or whether one should join a Board at all.
Whether one chooses to join one of the Yeshivah Boards is a personal decision based on evaluating the personal risks and benefits as well as one’s capacity and wish to serve the community in such a role.
What better reason to be typing away than to share facts, utilise the organisational documents and governance standards in conversation with the community while the realities, rather than the emotions are shared around together.
