What a treasure to see all the pictures of what it takes to make a float! I have such a great appreciation, now more than ever, of the dedicated work it took to make this happen. Thank you for posting these photos. Kol Hakovod to the Bochurim for their hard work and to the Lag B’omer organizers for a fabulous parade this year. The Rebbe is smiling 🙂

Crown
May 30, 2011 11:18 am

It’s all very nice, & it’s what the Rebbe MHM wants, a letter in the
Sefer Torah, Crown for the Torah, etc. But it is not so important
or even relevant Biz Maan Hazeh, in this time. The only Crown
that will help the people of the world, in general, & the Yidden
in particular, is the CROWN of MOSHIACH. Wake up Yidden.

WOW!
May 30, 2011 11:13 am

GO KALMENSONS!!

what now?
May 30, 2011 11:11 am

May 30, 2011 11:10 am

where did all of this go?
will it be featured in the museum
i cant imagine that they might have disposed of this after all the amazing work
is it available for rent?

Wow!

Wow! I donot know who the young men are who devoted themselves to, must be months, of hard dedicated work from the plans right to the absolutely fantastic product in the end. The Rebbe would have had such “nachus” from them…as I am sure their families and friends do. I know I do!!
