yudi good to c u
embarassing
how embarassing to have a public display of chabad chasidim laughing during a serious ritual like malkos.
Admirer
Yudi like always, a big smile on your face. G-d bless you.
yudiyudi
to embarassing: if you will know Yudi – the person from the picture – you will know that he is mekayem ‘ivdu es hasem besimcha" all the time!!! even when he gets malkos!!!
To embarassing:
In honor of the serious ritual and in the spirit of "The day of Forgiveness":
Imagine you were getting ready to do this most serious ritual. You’ve managed to get your friend or brother to give you malkus. You bend down and begin saying "V’hu Rachum…" Then you look up and what do you see? A photog with a camera in your face shooting away trying to get that perfect shot.
However serious you may be, that is humorous.
un embarassed
to embarassing did anyone ever tell you that your mest up
mabye the are smiling like it says when adar comes you should double your happness so same with tishrie
Hi chesky
howevere, in the second picture the bochur is very "yom kipurdik", so maybe you should complimant him…
:)
lol
lol loking good yudi
chaim l.
brothers hitting each other?! my where has the world come to?
Only in Lubavitch
Always looking to put someone down… only in Lubavitch…
These bochurim are the pride and joy of our community – it is obvious in every single picture that they take yiddishkeit and chassidishkeit seriously, these are chassidim that the Rebbe is proud of.
LA
Mekabel yesurim Bahava
Ah freilichen yom tov to all
To embarassing:
Oh gosh, are you a Lubavitcher? do you not know that Yom Kippur is not a sad day but rather a day where we connect to Hashem, there is no reason not to smile the entire Yom Kippur , you should be ashamed of yourself for posting such a comment and next time think before you write something against someone else.
GET OVER YOURSELF
Yom k’Purim
and he shouldn’t have to be mekabel any yesurim (EVEN if it’s b’ahavo!)
Zal
Thank you Zalman Shmotkin! You are the best! Keep up the great work!
