i did think it was him but i wasnt sure

wrong on every level

of course i dont want to bash the kids

the questions fall on the leaders of the camp – i would never send my kids

Awesome for an obviously unrehearsed play

Great Job guys !

it was fun to watch, Lew, Simpson and Gewritz did an awesome job

and to all the complainers: if there cant be any bad guys then there cant be a play

The Kids Didn't Know

The kids didn’t know this little film was going beyond the camp. There were three groups and each made their own on a different topic. It was unrehearsed and was made in all of 25 minutes.

the word is “professional” or “professionalism” please go learn your english

Lubavitch?
July 26, 2010 5:03 pm

Some here write the film is great, some say how can frum boys act like Natzis YM”S, well do we (try at least to) run our life as Lubavitchers? If yes, then, the Rebbe states very clearly in a sicha Taanis Esther, I think the year 5743 that children should not act, dress up or disguise like Haman. Besides, as a ‘Jewish feeling’ we should not train, educate children screeming ‘Heil Hit….r. Chassidus and ‘l’havdil’ basic psychology teaches us that what we train our kids with has a lasting impact on the child. So to all those who say let… Read more »

with all due respect to everyone, it is sad to say that the nazi’s ym”s are part of our history. there is nothing wrong with the boys making a movie out of this. hollywood has had more than their share of nazi movies. you guys are great! here’s an idea for your next movie – a movie about bringing moshiach closer.

Best Movie I've Seen All Year
July 26, 2010 2:28 pm

And I’d like to see Hollywood make a movie on their budget. Great job.

Chabad boys should not act as Natzis period.

From a parent of one of the mesivta Boys. Very tasteless and does not have any content.

An Idea for a play. Shluchim of the Rebbe MH”M conquering the world thru shlichus. There are stories that thru one mivtza entire households became frum. So find a good incident and make a play out of this.

WOW!!
July 26, 2010 2:09 pm

Great job Berel Lew.

plz
July 26, 2010 2:07 pm

Please dont say bad things about this film. The boys had fun and thats all that counts!

crazy
July 26, 2010 1:04 pm

acting like nazis?? wheres the sensitivity??

unbelievable!
July 26, 2010 12:54 pm

these are kids who do not watch tv and movies. whatever they know, they pick up from reading. I think they did a great job. the music was appropriate. all the boys were great, especially berel lew!

Go Berel
July 26, 2010 12:35 pm
