Oliver registered for the Bnei Baruch One Congress but was later told that his registration to attend the conference was declined with a vague reason mentioning not being able to communicate with each other. He was later called by a member of the EC and advised he should not attend congress. Oliver's friends in the Young Group were shocked to hear this, especially because he attended last year's NJ Congress and he participates in the YG meetings regularly where he reads and participates in workshops throughout the week. He added so much to last year's congress and needs our help to attend this year. Oliver wants to go to Congress and we need to show our support for him. We need your signatures to show our support for Oliver so he will be allowed entry to the congress and ensure our friend will not be denied unjustly from this opportunity of a lifetime.

By signing this petition you support Oliver in his effort to go to congress, would be glad to have him at the congress and vouch for his character.

Please help us bring Oliver to congress, where he belongs.

Seeing so many of you vouch for Oliver shows how much he means to our community. I am still pushing behind the scenes to get a real answer about why he was excluded and I will not let this silence go unchallenged.

Seeing this level of enthusiasm for Oliver has been overwhelming and reminds me why we are fighting to get him to the congress. It means the world to see everyone recognize what a positive addition he truly is to our community.

Oliver's participation in our Tens on Zoom is often the high point of our workshop. He deserves to attend the Congress just as anyone else. Please resolve this misunderstanding in favor of Oliver Kopec attending the ONE Convention.

I cant imagine why any student who has attended this congress in the past without "incident" would be denied. At the very least, a clear COMPREHENSIVE answer should be given to Him and his friends as to exactly why ? Perhaps I (or apparently ANYONE else) don't know the whole story, but from my perspective, he seems to have tremendous desire to physically connect with the friends.

Oliver is sincere friend in our workshops. After receiving the letter denying him a place in the Congress, he didn't get angry, he continued to express his desire to attend - it is his main desire.

Unless a substantive reason is formally presented by the congress moderators why Oliver would create disruptions I cannot support his rejection from attending Congress.

I see Oliver almost daily in the 7pm zoom room, he reads articles and answers questions just like the rest of us. Doesn't get angry or make any kind of problem, just a great friend, with a huge desire to connect. Please help Oliver come to congress.

Oliver adds to the group and is not a distraction with his communication. He is a mighty friend and is needed to complete the circle

Perhaps congress feels as though he is not corrupt enough to attend...LOL...seem's as though ANYONE with one bit of integrity would of course be disregarded and shunned by congress.....NOTHING new and nothing short of shamelessness.
