A missionary was seen roaming on Kingston Avenue in Crown Heights today, attempting to approach and speak to Jewish residents, a COLlive reader has warned.
The man was seen walking up and down the main street in Crown Heights as many residents and guests are readying for Shabbos.
The man approached Jewish people, the witness said, and began speaking about free books about Israel and making Aliya, and offering Christian missionary materials.
Even more troubling, the witness said, is he seems to have a phone strapped to his chest, on which he seems to be recording passersby who he interacts with.
“After he passed me and I told him to ‘get out of here,’ he turned around and spoke to me, that’s when I realized he had a camera and was filming me,” the Jewish man said. “Residents should be aware of this man and make sure not to interact with him,” he said.
Lol he’s been going around for 2 years now..
He was doing this a couple of weeks ago too on kingston ave
he is mest up
I would have asked for a whole bunch of his pamphlets for my friends and family and only afterwards tell him that I’m just taking a lesson from my Rabbi who said better he should have them than, chas veshalom, someone else less informed. The video of The Rebbe doing this is readily available on YouTube as im sure many have seen. Good shabbos!
And for him it will be a victory that a rabbi took his stuff agreedly and the worst part will be that he will continue doing this …
Dont do that
Dont respond to a fool
Take it and rip it up in front of him
And will be more convinced next time. When he sees someone not thst convinced like you.
Not everyone knows or will do this.
Its a good idea if he already (for some reason) gave it to you, but the are more cons than pros here.
Someone from ch people in charge should have a serious conversation, or at least learn from the other chassidim from other places on how to deal with this stuff going on.. but this is one opinion, and from saying to doing….
Also he is probably alotted by a superior a certain quantity to give. Doesnt really change anything what you do with his stuff. He is probably and sadly brainwashed like said above.
I would recommend here the book of shea hecht ‘the cultbuster’ and how to deal with missionaries explained in lenght…
Thank you for your awareness
You must be kidding
For years he is around,
You will find him at around 9/10 am standing on a bentch outside 770.. if this helps for someone wanting to have a coutermidsionary talk with the guy…
Actually he is there at that time ,reading something aloud .
Which is actually in korean ,as i understand some of it
Like the above comments, this man has been doing this in CH for a while now, standing on a bench in front of 770, and speaking random gibberish. He also goes around Kingston Ave, and tries to give out books.
This is crazy
