Revealed: 10-Year-Old Rabbinical Ban on COTS Precursor

As a follow up to our Thursday article regarding the attempts of some to reintroduce the ‘Call of the Shofar’ program into the Chabad community under a different name, we present a letter signed 10 years ago by the leading Rabbonim and Admorim of Montreal against the ‘Landmark Forum,’ off which COTS is based.

This is a ‘Pirsum Rishon,’ as the letter has never yet been published online.

Below is a copy of the original document which was sent, ten years ago, as a Fax from the Montreal Vaad Ha’ir to the offices of the well-known anti-cult and anti-Missionary organization Yad Le’achim.

The letter was sent after the Montreal Orthodox-Jewish community suffered an infiltration of the Landmark Forum within their ranks.

Credit is due to Yad LeAchim for digging up this historic fax at this crucial time.

  • a shame

    why wasn’t this published when COTS came to crown heights?? what a shame. it may have prevented many people from attending. this needs to be published very often and in every language.
    strong language for those who convince others to attend. its obvious that those involved should be let go of their jobs.
