this is so far from being a copout. what about all those people who for them this is a big step? who, for them it’s a big deal to publicly announce their belief in Moshiach. Or those people who find it so difficult to take on hachlatos or to even keep torah and mitzvos. i think that this is really inspirational and that it’s a way for people to show Hashem that they haven’t lost their faith even though at times it may seem like they have, or to show that even though sometimes they forget to daven for Moshiach,… Read more »

To #1 and others
August 4, 2013 1:00 am

There are MANY more like you. My friends and I are looking for ideas as well. We understand that the petition may not reach every Jew- specifically those who do not use internet. This was started as a means to get people involved using a derech they may have not, as of yet, seen used for such purposes. The Rebbe clearly stated that to bring Moshiach we need to do “one more mitzvah”. But how can we get others excited to bring Moshiach? We need EVERY HEAD AVAILABLE to creatively get Klal Yisroel involved! Let’s use effective marketing techniques: Whatever… Read more »

Ridiculous!!!

This is a cop-out!!! Rachamono liboh boi !!! (G-d wants the heart) Eizehu avoidoh sheboleiv – zuhi TEFILLA (What is “service of the heart”? – It is TEFILLA) What’s so wrong with doing what chassidus Chabad has emphasised and what Chazal have taught us for thousands of years?
