The Rebbe
June 12, 2010 10:01 pm

The rebbe would never of written or said a single bad word about Matisyahu on col or elsewhere. It is time we follow the Rebbe’s example.

To the minority of naysayers: Do you think the Rebbe would have liked, be mekarev, taken an interest in Matisyahu, or otherwise?

if anyone is a dugmeh chaya it’s Matisyahu who has had a positive influence on MILLIONS of people including the Gentiles while remaining strong in his Yiddishkeit. Now how many people including the biggies in …. can claim that???

Keep it up Matisyahu. Your place with the Rebbe and in Heaven is great. Chazak.

from your favorite Deli in Florida.

Matisyahu Looking Good

Love the music and the Kiddush Hashem you bring with it

Matisyahu, you are an inspiration to us all!
June 11, 2010 4:35 am

Hatzlacha Rabbah in all your work. You are a shliach in your very own way inspiring millions. And yes, Matisyahu is a dugmah chaya. he is a frum Yid making an honest living, supporting Shluchim and our mosdos. It is easy to find fault in everyone. The Rebbe and Chasidus teaches us to find the good. How ironic that this is the foundation of Chabad and yet our very own fall victim to the unfortunate weakness and ugliness of sitra achrah. If you don’t have time to learn chasidus, at the minimum listen to the gentle words that Matisyahu sings… Read more »

Yasher Koach
June 10, 2010 9:35 pm

Yasher Koach to Yoske for introducing something healthy and productive to the people of Crown Heights. I am surprised you haven’t been shut down because you might chas veshalom sell a bike to a girl and she might chas veshalom ride it in public.
Yasher Koach to Mattisyahu for the amazing influence he has on Jewish kids and non-Jewish kids. If the FFB’s of CH would serve Hashem like this one amazing Baal Teshuva, show the love he shows and start doing something productive and helpful, CH might go back to the nice place it was before Chof Zayin Adar.

how far do u go to alianate another yid, stop the hate vote for 7

to 7, hypocrite
June 10, 2010 9:05 pm

why dont you preach “the basics, ahavas yisroel” to a fellow jew you call a “horrible, worthless human being.” yeah, i see the logic.

Matisyahu
June 10, 2010 8:54 pm

Stop being negative about him. I don’t like the kind of music he plays (but nowadays, it seems that all is Kosher and OK for an Orthodox Jew, like boxing), but at least, he still has his tzitzis and a beard.

I want more info about shop
June 10, 2010 8:45 pm

I want to go on Sunday. Where is it and when is it open? I didn’t see other articles. Thank You

Stop with the hate...
June 10, 2010 6:48 pm

Matisyahu has lots of fans in Crown Heights, and many kids look up to him, he manages to stay 100% frum whilst plying his trade in the (very) non – Jewish world….

June 10, 2010 6:04 pm

worth following? are there no pictures of a Chassidhe rov walking in any store? Matisyahu is a great singer .. does wonderful work for sony….but is he a dugma chai for our readers to write news about?
