If anyone thinks they may be available to lead a vaad please email GYE.Vaad.Project at gmail.com or PM me.

You don't need to have it all figured out to lead a vaad. Just some amount of clean time and the willingness to do it!

It's a fantastic way to give back to the community.

I strongly recommend the vaad, if you are not ready to make a personal call. When I started out I was not willing to call but the vaad felt safer because it was not one on one, more people who are in the same boat. Once I saw how understanding they were, that gave me the courage to make that phone call. But if you can, go all the way. You will not regret it! I have gotten , empathy, love, and the sledgehammer from HHM. As stated he usually reserves the hammer only for those who are mistreating their wives. Go for it. We are rooting for you!!!

Now there's a haskama!

From a very chashuve yid too (some would say talmid chacham, but I think he's a tzadik).

Hit that link and join a vaad. I dare you.

I am not sure if my haskama is worth much but as you quoted me, I do strongly believe the Vaad is Fantastic! I think I told you privately but I will state it publicly as well. IF I am ever zoche to kick this (hopefully I will) The vaad will be a huge reason why. Thank you to Proud Yungeman and Shem!

I've heard about GYE for years, and I'm finding the resources a little overwhelming...where to start when there's so much. The thought of a weekly conference call to touch base sounds great.

Go up 2 posts on the screen to find the link to join the VAAD, under the user name chosemyshem. I have spoken with him many times. He is a true tzadik and one of the nicest people you will ever speak with.

New vaad starting soon. Now is a great time to join! Hit the link in the signature and get on board.

If you've previously joined a vaad and didn't stick to it 1) hop back on anytime, you don't need to be re-approved, and 2) please reach out and let us know what wasn't clicking so we can optimize the product.

If you're looking for a way to give back / be of service / earn oodles of Eden, joining a vaad as a leader/gabbai is extremely helpful and not very difficult (some minimum amount of clean time is required, pm PY or me for details).
