Elections for the Prague Jewish community’s 25-seat Parliament will be held Nov. 6. Once votes are tallied, the winners will choose a chairman. More than 100 members of the community have submitted their candidacies, including Tomas Jelinek, the former chairman who was ousted in an extraordinary meeting last November. Jelinek does not accept the legitimacy of the ouster.
