I’ve been here every year for the past 6 years and the crowds are pretty similar to what they’ve always been even with “Shemtov” in charge. Namely you have many Israeli’s whether or not you like them they have chayus, a very vociferous Australian contingent and all the other smaller groups and sideshows. Always has been like that.
P.S. If there’s a slightly different crowd earlier on when there are more families I don’t knkow, but for the majority of the night it’s definitely like I said.

number #9 Needs full tune up
October 7, 2009 5:53 pm

to number # 9
How many maamorim did you study this tishrei
you need a full tune up . your way off the radar, your words are not reflecting a lubavitcher chosid way of talk ,. you have sinas chinom issues . stop hanging around the eirev rav
hundreds of Chasidishe from Williamsburg and Boro pk danced . I am shocked of your words , come tonite see for yourself the most beautiful simcha ever .
The Rebbe does read comments too .
Always speak nice of the Rebbes community .
This will surly bring the Hisgalus of Moshiach now

Wonderful to see the Aussi boys with their flag. Hope to see you boys from Down Unda again next year. On second thought: hope all of us will be together in Yerushalayim Ir Hakodesh THIS year.

I was there the whole night and I am a regular American lubavitcher in the center of the crowed I did not see one sad soul and ya there might be a lot of tzfatim but thats simple because the average American Lubavitcher doesn’t have an interest in staying up till 6am dancing

From my perch overlooking and “overhearing” yesterday’s evening’s festivities I have drawn a conclusion. Simchas Beis Hashueiva has turned into a conglomeration of Tzfatim, bored Flatbush youth, and a bevy of other sad souls. The community that is Crown Heights was conspicuously absent, and I wondered why? I concluded that the annual Kingston Sukkos gathering (that was so dear to the Rebbe z”yal) has turned into a classless, alcohol fueled gathering that allows Israel imports to assert their demented Mishchism in the only way they know how – constant – annoying – repetitious – rote- brainless – Yechi singing. Oh… Read more »
