  • nothing to say

    Unless you were there you can’t imagine what it was like. We were numb, we just couldn’t believe it. I still can’t & it’s been 14 years.

    Ad Mosai?!

  • YEHUDIS

    I WAS THERE AND WHEN I PASSED THE REBBE’S KEVER, IN THAT ONE MOMENT I HAD I SAID TO THE REBBE THAT I WAS NOT ACCEPTING THIS AS HE HAD PROMISED TO BRING MOSHIACH. AND I LIVE WITH THAT STILL TODAY. THOUGH THERE IS NOTHING I WOULD WANT MORE THAN TO SEE THE REBBE IN PERSON ONCE AGAIN.

  • The Guy With the Dog

    I had a conversation about Gimmel Tammuz with a good friend who grew up Litvish and fried out when he was a teenager. He’s now in his early fifties, and this is what he had to say:

    “I remember Gimmel Tammuz. The surprise wasn’t that the Rebbe was niftar…it was the next day, when he didn’t come back. I think everyone, Lubavitch or not, expected him to. I still expect him to.”

  • ad mosai

    iyh there wont be a 14th year, enough is enough , we are sick of this golus…..

  • Shalom E. K

    The world has never been the same. The sun had been missing, and the birds dont sing. We need our rebbe we need our king!

  • missing the rebbe basar v-dam

    I still remember the chaos, the pain.. everything.. I was 9, my brother 11.. we walked and walked who knows how far ? we got on a school bus.. I remember the megaphones till today “single file only! do not stop!” and we had maybe 1 second to walk past the tzion..

    You cant imagine what its like at 9 to be woken up at 4am “wake up! the rebbe was nistalek..” and I replied “nu uh your lying!!” and calling the crown heights hotline “shema yisrael, hashem elokeinu, hashem echad! at 1:50am the rebbe was niftar”

    Toras menachem tuf shin yud alef “those that say that the histalkus of the rebbe means histalkus mamash.. are crazy people that dont know what they are talking about!”

    It was the rebbe that said that the friediker rebbe “chai v’kayam b’guf b’gashmi”

    We cant comprehend or explain these things.. when we say the rebbe was nistalek, we should not rush to say he died in the sense that regular people die.. as the rebbe safid “tzadikim dont live physical lives”

  • sad

    i cry every time…. i dont remember anything i was to young, although i was there… but it hurts me as much… my generation is so jealous, but u’ll see we’re leaving golus today, and the rebbe will lead the way

  • california

    everyone looks sooo confused. as if they dont realize what hit them!

  • moshe chaim

    I like to remember the Rebbe in 770 giving out tanyahs dollars.and delivering sichos and Mamorim.
    please dont show pictures of a Gimel tamuz levaya. thank you so much,

    WEEEEEE WANT MOSHIACH NOW!!!!!!!!!!!! AND THE REBE OUR NOSI & KING IS GOING TOO LEAD THE WAY!!!

  • [at a loss of words]

    A mashpia once farbrenged with us, and said that on The Gimmul Tamuz on the way back from the Ohel he was thinking what does the Rebbe want now? How are we to continue?

    He looked around the bus and he saw two bochurim discussing a sicha, and they discussed it till they arrived back in crown heights. When he saw that, he said, that’s exactly what the Rebbe wants!

    That’s our mission, to be stronger now more then before in spreading the light of Nigleh and Nistar to the world.

    All said and done, the conclusion is still Ad Mosai?! Enough is enough! How much longer will be in this darkness koful u’mechufol!

    We want Moshiach now mamash in the most megusham’dike sense. May we merit the revelation even before the 14th Gimmul Tamuz! Amen!

  • Ad mosai

    Please show more pictures of the levaya. Maybe people like moshe chiam in the previous post will some day get it through their head that the Rebbe is dead, instead of living in a make believe dream world. Way back in history, after the churban bais hamikdosh, Yidden did not make believe it didn’t happen. The holocaust happened, and we do not make believe it didn’t happen. In this Shabbos’ Torah reading Miriam and Aharon die, and death is decreed on Moshe Rabbeinu. It was sad, but it happened. The Rebbe zt”l died 14 years ago. It is sad. Accept it. Get over it. Say Boruch Dayan Emes. Thank Hashem for the many good years of leadership we merited to from the Rebbe zt”l. The Rebbe zt”l stood for emes, not the crazy foolishness into which Lubavitch has descended.

  • Trying to Clarify

    Ad Mosai,
    There are a few things that need to be clarified in your comment. Firstly,you say that Bnei Yisroel accepted the fact that Moshe died, and you parrallel that to the idea of Gimmel Tammuz. We all know the idea of “Tzaddik Yesod Olam.” Without the Tzaddik of the generation, the world cannot continue to exist. Before Moshe passed away, he gave the leadership over to Yehoshua who then became the Yesod Olam, the Tzaddik of the generation. We know that there is “a spark of Moshe in every generation.” If you can so easily say that we should just accept that the Rebbe passed on as a fact, how do you explain the continued existence of the world today? There MUST be a continuation of the leadership, and I know I don’t see anyone in today’s world who seems to have taken over the Rebbe’s place.
    Secondly, you say “Thank Hashem for the many good years of leadership we merited to from the Rebbe.” What the Rebbe gave us what not just leadership. The president of the United States can give us leadership. Our Shul Rabbi can give us leadership. What the Rebbe gives us is a direct connection to Hashem. The Rebbe is our Memutza Hamechaber- the medium between Hashem and ourselves, a G-dly man who can connect both worlds.
    I understand that you’re trying to get a point accross, but you need to take some time to think about the ideas you are throwing around so easily. May we speedily come the day that all this talk no longer be relevant, when we meet in Yerushalayim with Moshiach!

  • You Are Absoulotly Incorrect

    Mr.“Ad mosai” is A Chutzpinik. The Rebbe is Not “dead”. as Some Other Pepole have Mentioined that the Rebbe is “ Chay ViKayom” and Yes, “ Biguf Gashmi”. The Rebbe Was Never More Alive Then Now, Then, the Rebbe Was Only in New York. Now the Rebbe is Not Limeted to Time And Space.

    So No, We Will not , As You Have Demanded, Say “Boruch Dayon Hoemes”. We Will Demand The Coming of Moshiach, When We Will Be Able to See The Rebbe With our Own To Eye’s, And Hear Sichos and Maimorim From His Holy Mouth

    And, By The Way, Was Born Quite A While After Gimmel Tammuz
