I can just imagine how much aggravation the Rebbe must be feeling watching all this! The powers that be should have enlarged the shul when they collected everyone’s money for that purpose and then this would not have been necessary

Antisemitism has never been so bad in US history, young Americans calling for the destruction of the State of Israel and the genocide of Jews … Clearly in CH the Shoa day of October 7th forgotten already , and you guys have promising Moshiah for decades….while all you do is fight each other what a fiasco! To say the very least

Excuse me?

“All we do is fight each other”?! Are you unaware, or pretend to be, about the enormous amount of good work that Lubavitch has been doing in the last 30 years – the shlichus, the chessed, the shiurim, the raising of an entire generation of Chassidim who are still bound to the Rebbe despite never having seen him in person? Maybe we need to better ask what you’ve been doing all this time.

Stop

January 15, 2024 10:58 am

All Yidden do chessed and have organizations that help everyone including helping chabad/lubavitch. It’s just that they don’t publicize it. You don’t have to be a shliach in order to qualify as doing chessed. Everyone has their part.

FINALLY!

Sorry, I’m no fan of the activities. But a group that threatens Jews with police for that obviously hasn’t read Rashi in shlishi of Shemos

The dollars people, which I find objectionable, don’t raise hands. And the NY attitude of calling police, this group of law enforcement on everything that would always been handled privately (am not talking about sick stuff, am referring to skirmishes) which even Non-Jews don’t do is just plain sick and shameful. It’s also mesira with no reason and no one should support this or those who encourage it.

January 13, 2024 8:27 pm

The biggest worldwide Chilul Hashem last week came from publicizing the actions of idiots and hooligans. It should have been handled quietly. There are anti-Semites using the tunnels to make blood libels because unlike any other group in the world, the spokesmen for whoever they claim to represent has to publicize our idiots and hooligans. No one else does that. Read the National Post article on the Jewish tunnels (770) and what publicizing it has caused. It was these people and their brilliant idea to make media wars that fueled the machlokes to ridiculous proportions 30 years ago and they’ve… Read more »

The entire world knows what goes on in 770. All the famous jewish celebrities go there. It’s not some little shtibel on the lower east side. If there’s news, it’s going to be everywhere and all we can do is give some explanation. But it will still be a news story without our involvement

They publicized it themselves when they started destroying the wall. When you say “handled quietly” you just mean do nothing. Tell us, how exactly do you handle a mob destroying property “quietly”?

The NYPD were called in because the situation was out of hand. If you wish to quote Rashi please don’t forget that one who raises his hand to his fellow Jew is called a rasha. They raised their hand against their teacher.

some of us are saying Yechi before Hisgalus, some of us are waiting to say Yechi after Hisgalus – that is not a reason to hate each other.

some of us say Shlita, some of us go to the Ohel – that is not a reason to hate each other.

we all know the Rebbe is Nassi Doreinu – that is a reason to love each other.

no one should be compelled to say Yechi.
no one should be prevented from saying Yechi.

we are all doing our best to fulfill our Shlichus.

It’s like saying some people believe in the Jewish god some people believe in Islam it’s Al the same

It’s very clear from the Rebbe what we have to do
Whatever he didn’t say to do is clear he doesn’t want us to do so STOP SAYING YECHI

We will never stop saying and believing yechi

Henna is exactly right. Your lack of understanding doesn’t give you the right to negate multiple sichos and multiple mashpeim with a horrible Islam comparison .
Be humble and be kind.

The Rebbe encouraged yechi before gimmel tammuz AND AFTER! just like chitas the 10 mivtzoim etc… they are all suppose to stop because gimmel tammuz happened?! All the shluchim are suppose to return because gimmel tammuz happened and the Rebbe never said to stay?! Seriously?! ( although certain shluchim are not shluchim at all but that’s a different story)

Those threatening to call Police are no better than anyone who believes in Islam.

Islamists use power and control to force what their version of their belief to force others to be the same ways.

Anyone saying Yechi or giving dollars for Tzedaka is doing the opposite, not forcing anyone to do anything only allowing each person relate to the Rebbe in their own way as they choose.

When a “holier than thou” Shliach came to the Rebbe 65 years ago, complaining that some Lubavitcher in his community is ruining things for him with his Baal habatim because he is going around telling people ( in the 1950’s) that the Rebbe is Moshiach, the Rebbes response was “but what should I do, that he believes it with an אמת”!….
The Rebbe wants yechi to be said. If you are not up to that then don’t say it, but don’t knock anyone who does!!!

Who’s “us” in this sentence? You are a tiny minority who don’t represent more than a fraction of Lubavitch, while almost all chabad chassidim are solidly on the side of merkos and aguch in this matter. In fact, many wish they would dare to take much more drastic action than this!

The mockery is the reporting of every hotheaded teen by older people who should know enough to cool things down and open some dialogue instead of adding more smoke and back and forth fighting to the mix. Then they go to the newspapers, which is the biggest chilul Hashem and chilul Shem Lubavitch. I’m against the dollars. The Rebbe is for Yechi. Everyone should be against publicizing every crazy action by every crazy kid no matter what side you’re on. And masering Jews because of handing out dollars, as hefker as their actions are, is beyond all pale and against… Read more »

This whole tunnel thing just woke up a lot of Jews, jews who support chabad around the world, that there are many serious problems with the way things are going on in crown heights. You want that people should donate to expand 770? They are not going to donate if they think the money will go down the drain

Gezarah
January 13, 2024 7:02 pm

Maybe this was a Gezarah because the Rebbe came out to a Even Hapinah for extending 770 and nobody did anything
this is a tremendous Chilul Hashem with everyone asking if the Rebbe wanted to build 770 why did they not do it ????
Lets build together with Achdus
