The “Gabboim” are Challenging the Rebbe and the Rebbe’s Signature!!

Crown Heights, Brooklyn — Last week the Hebrew new site Shturem.net exposed that at the court hearing of the Aguch vs. the so-called Gabboim of 770-downstairs last week, the Gabboim claimed that the Rebbe’s instructions in 1990 to restate the laws of Aguch was done illegally.

Ever since that article was posted there has been a lot of confusion surrounding this issue and readers demanding to show documents that prove that the so-called Gabboim did in fact act in such a despicable manner. The readers said that they – the Gabboim – provided documents showing clearly what they claimed in court and so those supporting Aguch should do the same.

Just two weeks after its installation, a median guardrail on Route 17 stopped a car from crossing over into oncoming traffic.

“You can say it works, and that it saved a life today,” said state Trooper Jason Grabowski of the new guardrail installed near Exit 130.

According to state police, the driver of a westbound white 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier bounced off the newly installed rail after the driver lost control trying to pass another car on its left. The car then came back onto the highway, flipped and came to rest upside down on the right shoulder of the road, police said.
