The real Achdus and only achdus will be when Everyone proclaims YECHI together- B”Ish Echad Blev Echad”- Then the Rebbe will be revealed.

very nice!
June 3, 2013 4:39 am

it will be only video of the rebbe?

Eastern Prkw.
June 2, 2013 4:15 pm

in the article it says that they are closing off the entire prkw. and the pic is only half of it…. i think COL should put up a pic. with the entire prkw. closed off.
it is a big thing to close off the prkw. and you need a lot of people i am sure we will all see to be there!

Wow!
June 2, 2013 3:43 pm

To make something like this together i am sure that many months days and hours was put in to this. Kol Hakovoed. so us as Chassidim (= one family) of the Rebbe (= one father) will all make sure to be there for one hour. men women and children to all be there no matter what time it is. we will all come just to see our Rebbe = our father. as we did not see him for already 19 years!!!!!!!!!!!!

‘Todah’ to COLlive.com and all those responsible for their hard work.. ‘The Rebbe, MH”M’ wanted ‘achdus’ and this sounds marvelous.

time ... year
June 2, 2013 12:35 pm

the projectors can not be seen during the day (it has to be dark) IF SOMEONE WANTS TO SPONSOR DAY TIME SCREENS WE WILL GLADLY CHANGE THE TIME….
and about the year … L’shona haba b’yerushalayim! (and even this year, so why push off something so amazing)

This year on Gimmel Tammuz is the 19th yahrtzeit since the first yahrtziet in 1995.

However it is 20 years since the day of Gimmel Tammuz 1994. Twenty Gimmel Tamuzzes have passed.

Gimmel Tammuz 2013 begins the 20th year.

can the time be switched
June 2, 2013 9:39 am

it will exclude children and their mothers
please consider changing the time
besides the fact that the more people that are there, the stronger the achdus but it is so important for our children to see this and feel the achdus in person AND THEIR MOMMIES TOO
it is not right that it is being done at a time that will exclude us

My Critisizim!
June 2, 2013 9:27 am

1) It makes more sense that this should be done NEXT YEAR – when it’s 20 years, not this year.

2) The time of 8:30-9:30 is NOT a good time. Maariv time is smack in the middle and will mess things up.

Good luck anyway.

HAVE IT ON LINE, FOR EVERYBODY PLEASE!
June 2, 2013 9:07 am

Have it on line for everybody please

it is truly a "shod"
June 2, 2013 9:07 am

that the late hour rules out younger kids from being there AND their Mommies who will have to be home with their kids.
Why can’t this be done at a time when everyone can attend???????????

June 2, 2013 8:20 am

You’re right!

June 2, 2013 12:57 am

This event is not only for crown heights rather is for all man women and children all over the world that are coming in for Gimmel Tammuz all schools Yeshivos…. (Not putting down crown heights just picking up all other people)
I think it is just amazing to see this happening once again!

Gimmel Tammuz!
June 2, 2013 12:50 am

I think and believe that a day like Gimmel Tammuuz every man women and child feels the responsibility to attend and to bring his family and friends let us all try to do so. That we can once and for all be together with our Rebbe!

Rebbe Re-Runs
June 2, 2013 12:41 am

I admit that I do not live in CH but I think it would be great to celebrate our mentor & teacher by hearing from some his many holy students.

WOW....
June 2, 2013 12:35 am

these kinds of programs are the ones that will get us to where we wanna get…

to #6 and 14
June 2, 2013 12:10 am

Firstly, this sounds like it’s meant to be to promote achdus and you two seem to want the opposite, so maybe it’s a good idea that you don’t attend, as you might be swayed to have some ahavas chinam which would make you unhappy. but then again if you do attend #6 might like carrying a flag with a swastika better….. that’s full of HATE! and number 14 you might have forgotten that the Rebbe didn’t stop hocking about Moshiach! You know, the word written on those _ _ flags!!! So you really ought to complain to the Rebbe, because… Read more »

Wow!
June 2, 2013 12:01 am

June 1, 2013 11:04 pm

Flags
June 1, 2013 11:00 pm

Being that nothing happend on 3 Tammuz let the Tzfatim stay away.

to #11
June 1, 2013 10:46 pm

unfortunately you see a problem with #6

I don’t and many many others don’t either.
The stupid flags are a problem but I commend the idea and will likely attend too.

To each his own!

June 1, 2013 10:46 pm

what a pity the rebbe is not with us any more

June 1, 2013 10:46 pm

number 6 what is your problem with the yellow flags ?? if you are talking about one that has the face of the rebbe i can understand … though the ones with NO face just talking about moshiach please explain why ??? you have issues with people promoting the concept of moshiach?? .. i would agree if they are forcing their ideals though just using them and people see please explain what is wrong .. the rebbe did not make this va new concept in 1990 … the rebbe writes about moshiach in hayom yom … i think people like… Read more »

June 1, 2013 10:11 pm

Unfortunately, your comment is what this farbregen is supposed to combat…
The hate you spew does nothing to bring Moshiach closer, This Farbregen does!

what a great idea
June 1, 2013 10:07 pm

Who’s behind this?

wow!!

June 1, 2013 7:37 pm

There is no way to stop those stupid yellow flags…

June 1, 2013 7:35 pm

Is Yechi a Niggun?
