April 6, 2009 8:27 am

One day someone was riding his wagon on a dirt path… one of the wheels got stuck in some mud… so there was the wheel and on either side was dirt! Everyone get a life and just bring MOSHIACH!! Because fighting will not help anyone!! BECAUSE WE ALL WANT MOSHIACH!!

Show me the money
April 6, 2009 8:26 am

Can some one please tell me who is funding all this so that i can go to him and get some assistance for pesach. we are a middle class family in crownheights . My husband works long hours to make ends meet and be able to pay for tuition.

What is wrong with pointing fingers? We need to start making people accountable for their actions. I drove a tank on Thursdays parade and now I rather sit on my lazy * * * then go on this pathetic yechi fest carnival.

much nicer parade!
April 6, 2009 2:23 am

putting all comments and loshon horo aside, this parade looks much nicer than Thursday’s parade.
I hate those tzfatim, but this time – they came out looking good

WHY didn't we all make the Parade on 11 Nissan?

ABSOLUTELY DISGOUSTING! you farmers have absolutely no idea of what a mess this makes for all shluchim i:e we have some1 in our community who was coming close to lubavitch and who recently went on holiday to israel. now “Lubavitch no way” he says “they’re mental.. all over there are these big signs “Long live…” aii one sec didnt i last year go to his resting place in ny??” ok never mind maybe this is just a few mental ppl maybe ill ask some1 ok let me wait till he gets of the phone and then ill ask him aii… Read more »

Guys i can tell you this, i wear a Yechi Yarmulka and i was all over the world, and the only place i ever got a nasty comment about the yarmulka was from Lubavitchers, not Satmar not Tashers not Litvkas, acutally i got only praise about Our Rebbe, on how he helped and touched their lives, in one way or another. Quit being asahmed of you own shaddow. Don’t you think that to the outside world it looks nuts and retarded to wear a black hat ,grow a long beard, eat only kosher, and not turn on a light on… Read more »

It would be a bigger mitzvah if
April 5, 2009 8:27 pm

you guys would quit messing around with superfluous expensive parades and go home and help your wives clean for Pesach!! SHALOM BAYIS!!

April 5, 2009 6:15 pm

Oy es tut mir vey. This parade is a SHANDE. especially that stupid limo. The growth of mashichism is directly connected with the unemployment levels. All these ppl should go and get a real job (gabbous downstairs is not counted)

Yechi
April 5, 2009 5:48 pm

You keep saying Yechi Hamelech the Rebbe is alive. But how long do you Want the Rebbe to live like this . Is this called living.Would you like to live like this?Why don’t we just be NORMAL and ask that we see Rebbe Begashmius.V’hokitzu Veranenu Shochnei Ofor.

all the way #33!

U think the parade is chillul hashem?? how about the things you are saying??
April 5, 2009 4:51 pm

To all those who posted: “oh what a chillul hashem..this is what ruins chabad”…get off your lazy *** and do something more productive rather than just criticize others! Do you think YOU are doing something worthwhile!? YOu guys are the ones making a chillul hashem and chillul chabad! Stop pointing your finger at other peopel – criticize and judge yourself and see what YOU can do to help the situation!

April 5, 2009 4:30 pm

If one more Jew out there comes to a seder because of this parade then it was all worth it. and yes, that would make the Rebbe proud!

someone that respects the rebbe
April 5, 2009 4:26 pm

ashamed at the behavior of the meshichists who in my opinion hurt the image of the rebbe worldwide with there behavior which borders on disgraceful

Amazing
April 5, 2009 3:45 pm

Double mivtoyim what could be better

To the people who are bashing COL for posting this: Journalism means reporting the news. To claim that there was no parade in Crown Heights today would be distorting the information, and would be a breach of the trust that you and I have in COLLiVE as reporters of the news.

Thank you COlLIVE for understanding the significance authentic journalism.

PATHETIC!!!!
April 5, 2009 3:08 pm

i watched it all and how these tzaftim act makes me sick!!

achdus
April 5, 2009 3:06 pm

bravo to collive for posting this event. it is a great demonstration of achdus. we all have one rebbe, we may not agree with everyone’s methods, but when things are done with pure intent, and not motivatied by power struggle or i”in your face” attitudes, they yeild positive results.
i think this parade, as well as the one on thursday , were done for the exclusive purpose of giving the rebbe nachas ruach.

Kinas sofrim tarbeh chochmah!
April 5, 2009 3:02 pm

B”H the controversy means more mivtzoyim.
But really, the limo was in NO WAY ofen hamiskabel.

Lets not confuse the facts
April 5, 2009 2:08 pm

This parade is Tzfaty, not Mishichist!!!

Thanks for Posting
April 5, 2009 2:07 pm

Thanks for posting. Whether we agree or not we’re still all have the same Rebbe;)

April 5, 2009 1:31 pm

April 5, 2009 1:21 pm

April 5, 2009 1:16 pm

April 5, 2009 1:06 pm

gotta love the blanket under the crown.
say what you will about the messianics, but they sure have class!
(by the way, the above statement is a sarcastic one. I.e., its author does not in fact believe that messianics have class, as evidenced by the blanket. you gotta explain everything on this site, since we have a wide range of readers. this is not thenewrepublic or wsj, in case you have not noticed.)

Yasher Koach for bringing ALL the news from Crown Heights

Shame on you COL
April 5, 2009 1:03 pm

you are sending out very mixed messages! first we have the article about birchas hachama which you knew would generate sinas chinom and hatred to be spewed, is this your way of showing that you are “parev” and open minded? fe!! this parade takeh causes a chilul hashem and a chilul sheim lubavitch! why are you posting this filth on your website? the whole world looks at the chabad websites, do we have to fuel their laughing and mockery?! we have plenty plenty to be proud of 1000s of shluchim doing selfless work, etc etc, and this is what you… Read more »

The police liaison person (in the pictures) told us that it was Chanina Sperlin that okayed this second parade.

April 5, 2009 12:19 pm

since when is it a mivtza to go around proclaming the rebbe is moshiach.

Do you think the Rebbe would approve of this?
April 5, 2009 12:17 pm

Please, this is embarrasing to Chabad.
Why can’t everyone stop obsessing and unite, to do the right things? where is all this funding coming from?

oh boy...
April 5, 2009 12:08 pm

i’m ashamed of being a lubavicher….
