American comedian Stephen Colbert has pulled out an ad in the New York Times by Chabad of Midtown Manhattan during his satirical television program "The Colbert Report." The full page advertisement called on Jews to participate in Birchas Hachama last week. Video

Steven colbert, it is.

It’s still a mental disorder, though.

I don’t understand all the negative comments. Shea bought a $20,000 ad and got $200,000 worth of publicity for:
1) Birkas Hachama
2) Pesach and redemption
3) Making Judaism mainstream.

It was a beautiful teaching moment for everything that it is dear to us and the Rebbe, without really mocking it. A mention of Chabad would have been nice but that’s not everything

publicity?

there wasn’t even the slightest mention of chabad in his “report”. all he said was an ad in the NY times.
well, that’s what you get when you sell yourself as secular as can be, YOU become the joke.

stupid
