Video: The Drive-by Bar Mitzvah

While appearing on Conan O’Brien‘s late night show, actress Lisa Kudro – who is Jewish – explains why Conan shouldn’t be offended that he wasn’t invited to her son’s Bar Mitzvah. “He was just having a nice time at the mall when suddenly, out of nowhere, he became a man,” thanks to a Lubavitcher Bochur doing Mivtzoim.

      True a see has indeed been planted.

      However, before we pat ourselfs on the back, what are we going to do with all OUR seeds that we have been planting for these past 9 months (in Yeshiva etc..), what happends to these seeds over the three month summer vacation when schools are closed?

    • What's the connection?

      Something nice happened, why immediately project it onto a totally unrelated problem?

      I’m sure the Bochurim involved will be doing their part to help out in the summer as dedicated staff members in one of our great camps…

    The problem is that they will only hire you if they think you have money and pretend it has to do with chasidishkeit while in NY you eitber have the yellow flags or the modern orthodox…

    what a shame to such a wonderful chasidus turned organization.

    Todays camp “administrators” have taken the Rebbe’s Moisdos and turned them into personal bank accounts.

    Lubavitch was a nice Chasidus that once attracted sincere yiddin.

  • Camp is a business

    The camps and the schools have both been taken over by private individuals making a better living than the rest of the Anash community.

    Rabosai, remember that the previous generation has invested and donated tons of money to buy the real estate for moisdos while these new “administrators” are hiding the cash…..

    Today’s camp Directors and School Administrators are living in fancy houses, go to Florida at least once a year, own country homes and have at least two cars, all this without the slightest education of how to teach and live by example.

    Chabad WAS a nice Chasidus

    I used too – when i was younger and naive- get excited with stories like the one above, but not anymore.

    Using the analogy of a ship and fish.
    Imagine your on a fishing boat….your catching lots of fish, your all excited…however there is a hole in the boat slowly drowning the boat.

    Or…you throw the net down, aftet hours of fishing you catch only one or two fish. There are millions of fish, how is it that after sevral hours you only have two fish in your net?

    Oops, your net has a hole (breach) .

    The summer “Vacation” is the hole in our net or boat.
    We can catch millions of fish, but its all a waste of time. We are drowing.

    Fix the boat, so we live to fish another day.

    Regarding camps: don’t delude yourself, camp is no substitute for yeshiva and chader.

    History: Gan Yisroel was originally for public school children. Staff would attempt over the summer to “fish out” children from public school to yeshiva. If they succeeded with one or two they felt they did something. Camp is not meant for our children.
    What do our children get? They get excited about nagal vasser?

    By the way. What am u doing with these comments?

    Im planting a seed and hoping in will grow to a beautiful fruitful tree.

    We* don’t have power and money and therefore have no influence. The only thing we could do is bring attention to the issue, wherever and whenever we can.

    * whose ‘we’? A few concerned parents.

    Becoming a responsible adult is not only monumental but the weld that holds together the chain of faithful Torah observance. Unless we hold to Torah we perish.
