Proud member of the YG team
May 6, 2010 6:45 am

Just to add to #43, as a proud member of the YG time, I could testify that there were many sleepless nights by many YG bochurim and shluchim, and we managed to pull off all those things (a band, skit, clowns, and the best float) while juggling it all with a full day (7:00am – 9:30pm) learning schedule… BEAT THAT!!!

great job binyomin!!

To all our critics

YG built the shevet yosef float and helped with the building of many other floats. YG made a 3 peice band, acted out a lag baomer skit and generaly added to the enjoyment of all those present by providing 10 clowns!
In comparison, painting a few signs doesn’t seem like much…

the o.c girls seriouslly made the parade.

Maybe the person who made the video is not lubavitch, came to the parade, enjoyed themselves, and made a video of it.

adorable!

May 3, 2010 2:02 pm

I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS VIDEO WHICH IS REALLY NICE COULDN’T HAVE MUSIC WHICH WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR A PARADE ORGANIZED BY LUBAVITCH!!! THIS MUSIC IS MISSING ” ZALTS UN FEFFER”! WHAT ARE THEY ASHAMED OF? EVERYONE KNOWS ITS A LUBAVITCHER PARADE, AND THE LUBAVITCHER MUSIC HAS SO MUCH MORE LIFE AND MEANING TO IT. I HAVE A HARD TIME WITH THE VIDEO BECAUSE OF THE MUSIC.

Wonderful Parade
May 3, 2010 4:48 am

Getting the whole community together was a pleasure to see…..

question: What’s with the Dog & Elephant Baloons? Why bring in traif animals? Would you have brought those infront of the Rebbe?

Having the antelope and deep jumping as if running towards Moshiach is original…great ideas from down under!!!!
