What an incredible big heart Nochum has! The fact that his mishpacha supports him 100% makes it more beautiful. Zicher the Rebbe is kvelling and Nochum deserves all the brochos the Rebbe promised to those who take care of his guests.

Agreed with 68

Exactly right

Huge Yashar koach to Rabbi Don Joel Levy
September 30, 2013 1:13 pm

Anyone who has spent yom Kippur in 770 especially Neil knows what it feels like by the end of the fast
Therefore I want to thank the Levy and the OK family from the heart for literally restoring me and thousands to life on Motzei Yom Kippur

Rabbi Levy does so much for the community, from his hashgacha to his beautiful shul and mikvah to this. God bless him

Greatest deed
September 30, 2013 9:10 am

There no single thing greater than feeding people.

Like a factory
September 30, 2013 8:57 am

This is spectacular. Wishing could be there to witness it.
What was the Rebbesrreaction to the project? One of the comments referenced the sign, but I don’t understand hebrew
Anyway kol hakovod

The aibershter should end this bitter golus in this zechus

The Rebbe's Sukkah?
September 29, 2013 7:11 pm

Howcome the Rebbe’s sukkah can be seen next to the front door of 770 in some of these pictures and in some of them it’s not there???
Were these photos taken on the same day?
Just wondering…..

Love that there are so many guest...But...
September 29, 2013 6:46 pm

crown heights is an amazing place. people having 50 to a hundred guest in their succos,… we are honore to have all the orchim…
regarding the boxes of food by 770, it’s so special
HOWEVER, IT IS THE HEADQUARTERS OF LUBAVITCH , And it is where many people live. if you are going to host, have CLEANING CREWS twice daily, keeping the place clean and presentable.

thank you simi and yerachmial jacobson for helping out the community and supporting this great event.

Love the sign
September 29, 2013 3:28 pm

The answers from the rebbe are wild

The rebbe would wait
September 29, 2013 3:23 pm

Before Reb nachum began the kiddushim the break between the Rebbes farbrengen and hakofos was about 15 minutes. Once nachum began feeding the rabim outside the rebbe would break for 45 minutes or so, it my understanding from mazkirus that it was to allow the olam to eat

R. Nochum
September 29, 2013 2:10 pm

Kol hakavod!!!!!!

What impressed me
September 29, 2013 1:48 pm

I saw markovits serving people from Tahalucha like at 4 or 5 am

Thank you Don Yoel Levy and family
September 29, 2013 1:41 pm

Rabbi Levi from OK is legendary for sponsoring the yom Kippur break fast I saw that this year was above and beyond. There was so much water before and after the fast and plenty of food. Don Yoel has a lot of zechusim for it

No such thing as leftovers
September 29, 2013 1:34 pm

September 29, 2013 2:42 am

Sb drizin is the greatest Bal tzedek n CH followed by his sons and daughters. They have been sponsors of nochums food trucks for as long as I can remember and are always behind such great things.

Yerachmiel and simi have awesome examples I’m the form of the drizins and I am glad that there is a new generation of Bal tzedaka

Thank You Nochum Markowitz!!!!! We should all thank his entire family who sacrificed this whole month, anytime I went to 770 before, after, during a meal he was THERE while I’m sure his wife and family were hosting plenty people. May this man and his family be showered with BROCHOS just like he showered everyone with what they needed this whole month!

Thank You
