Great Timing!
‘Mordechai The Jew’ in the capital just before Purim.
He does not bow or kneel, rather tells it like it is.
Now we are just waiting for the video of you on a horse being paraded down main street by your bitter neighbor who is constantly calling the zoning department on you. This month he shall be compelled to draw you on the king’s horse shouting your praise before you.

Happy Purim and thanks for your eloquent invocation.

Beautifully articulated and very meaningful. Those were very well chosen words, and the quote from the Pledge of Allegiance was superbly suited to the occasion. In addition to being an appropriate blessing for the august body you were addressing, the message drives home the Rebbe’s oft reiterated point of America being a country that is founded on freedom OF religion, not freedom FROM religion, as some misguided folks would have us believe. This was an all around kiddush Hashem and kiddush Lubavitch. Rabbi N.,you surely made the Rebbe proud. Continued hatzlochoh to you and your family in all your p’ulos…

You must not live in the Washington DC area, where we all know just how true all this is and more.

Rabbi Newman and his family are a class act.

I am proud of my old classmate to have been given such an honor….Rabbi Newman is a brilliant and polished individual. He is articulate and smart. Rabbi Newman has a wonderfully warm personality. Rabbi newman is humble and wise. Rabbi newman has achieved unimaginable success and will continue to grow in his endevours. Rabbi newman is an inspiration to us all and a leader amongst his peers and colleagues. I wish my good friend Rabbi Newman continued success in abundance and with ease….YTLM

An “emser chassidisher Shliach” from the old school! What an inspiration.
