  • brother from the hood

    there r a few posiable answears .

    a] the none jewish home needed a shmata to cover his window
    and did not care what is writen on it .

    b] he was told by some tzfati that it brings good luck .
    so the none jew doesnt understand that it counter productive with a reath 4 xmas//
    c ] the none jewish owner rents his appartment to a tzfati , very simpil

  • Moshiach Now!

    BS”D
    an xmas decoration along with the meshichest flag…watch out guys.

    please just be real! you dont need to be like that.

  • mendoza

    the house is 1507 union street ,kingston -albany its a 2 family home and the owner , a carib /american rents to a tzfati family

  • chaim36

    The goyim identify with the messianic nut jobs. The yozel came back…so……….!They are hijacking what the Rebbee [obm] stood for.

  • yehuda

    their is a moshiach flag in the window on the second floor and on the door their is a wreath.

  • nothing

    nothing seems wrong to me, a non jewish home, with non jewish symbols on display!!! or could it be they´re missing a tree?
    yeah… thats probably it

  • Moshe Eliyau

    Maybe a frum yid lives on top & a black goy lives on the bottom very simple. Is there anything else 2 say that is the best guess. However it shows u the light over darkness. Even though Im not a Mishichist & i don’t hold of it still its the inyan, & I don’t hold of the flag as well. but still it represents something

  • 2 family house??

    no, there is a xmas wreath under the door, and a moshiach flag on the top window. Maybe its a 2 family house, and a jew and non jew live on each floor???

    theres a cristmas thing on the door and on the window there is a moshiacvh flag so is it the owner jewish or not

  • Thankful not Arrogant

    Actually, nothing is wrong with this picture,everything is right!

    This photo shows you what a tolerant country you live in. That a Jewish flag can hang proudly and safely in a predominantly Christian country on the most Christian day of the year.

    While the contrast may be cute, you should be very thankful to G-d and appreciative of the tolerance of the country you live in that you are indeed able to witness such a photo.

  • Messianic Jews

    No mezuzah on the front door!

    The wreath on the front door represents the “second coming” or resurrection. Moshichist believe he never died so no need for resurrection, just a second coming/revelation.

  • Everyone is waiting for Moshiach

    The fulfillment of the prophecy that the whole world will recognize the greatness of Hashem. So the Christians are waiting for Moshiach too!

  • mrs yetta mriel

    #1 it is side ways but that is not what is wrong. a jewish flag and a crismass reath on the door. maybe a goy and a jew live in the house

  • rgg

    nothink wrong it’s the same who ever haves a moshiach flag is a christ the don’t belive the same in god

  • Hadassa

    either the non-Jewish landlord is ok w/ the flag – or the Jewish (newly frum) landlord has no clue about the symbolism of the wreath!

  • shmuel

    possibly its two different apartments,one tenant on the top floor and one on the first floor,

  • who cares who i am!

    obvious!
    there is a x-mass decoration on the door of the same house that has the flag! :)
    and btw in my opinion there is no reason why they dont go together! once u r being michalel lubavitch and the Rebbe u never know what will come next!
    P.S. to # 1: the sideways flagjust shows on the mind and personality of the guy who put the flag there…that he is sideways!!!!!!

  • ??

    the only thing wrong is that there is a flag here, or maybe there is nothing wrong the guys with the flags are simply not jewsih

  • WOW!

    MOSHIACH i comming! What a mix?!?! Well…. it looks like there is a chrismas design and a moshiach flag stranded together by “coincidence”!!

  • HAHAH

    NOOOOOOO LOL… OMG A CHRISTMAS SEDIMENT AND A MOSHIACH FLAG?! LOL WHERE IS THIS WORLD COMNG 2!!!!

  • Arieh

    I don’t see a mezuza on the front door so it appears not to be a Jewish residence. Maybe it’s a multiple-unit dwelling or someone is renting upstairs?

  • dont only see bad

    it is not a jewish house i know it for a fect dont jump the guns!!!!
    do u see a mezuzah!?!?1

  • ch mom

    besides the xmas decorations I dont see a mezzuzah, maybe only the upstairs tenents are jewish

  • ......................................

    the moshiach flag then the round x-mas thing on the door

  • not hard

    LOL a Moshiach flag and a wreath – in other words, 2 family unit with non-Jewish landlord and Jewish tenant.

  • DY

    Oh honestly, and you people learn Chassidus? Arieh was right, looking at the comment underneath him.

  • l.m.

    DOES ANYONE OF OF YOU THINK BEFORE YOU MOUTH OFF YOUR PREJUDICED STUPIDITIES. FIRST OF ALL THE APARTMENT DWELLER RESPONDED; IT IS HIS APARTMENT AND VERY OBVIOUSLY IT IS A MULTIPLE DWELLING.
    SECONDLY IT IS TIME TO KEEP YOUR OPINIONS TO YOURSELF. YOU CAN BELIEVE OR NOT BELIEVE IN MOSHIACH(HALACHA=) STOP SPOUTING YOUR HATRED

  • WreathObserver

    a sidways moshiach flag yikes – such a busha – the ramifications are wide reaching – how very intense !

  • y. kahn

    The ugly yellow flag isn’t burnt to pieces there should be a cratzmach thing there instead bec. thats what they beileve in anyway – a diff. g-d.
    I hope they wake up soon and do teshuva before moshiach comes (i’m talking about the meshichistim).

  • Only in America

    What it shows is that the Tzfasi has no Idea what the xmas wreath is.
    My husband is Israeli and do not see anything wrong with this picture.
    As long that there is no tree nor light blinking continuously or a Santa on the window or doorway by him it is just a branch to hang up to make it more flowery

  • Gedaliah Goodman

    Thank G-d the goy knows to put up a beautiful Moshiach flag. Hopefully soon all the goyim will put up Moshiach flags. My mother-in-law who went through the war, said that they had a saying in Europe, “ If the Moshiach will not come for the Jews He will come for the goyim.” So come on. Any goy who does not have a flag, please get one and proudly display it for all to see. Then maybe, please G-d, all the anti’s, lefties, hellenists, etc., will get the message. If not, then maybe they will just pick up and get out of here. And tonight would not be to soon. It would be the most wonderful Chanukah miracle to wake up and find all the anti’s, lefties, hellenists, etc. all GONE K’Pshuto, MAMASH. What a Happy, Joyous Chanukah that would be. YECHI HAMELECH

    110: call it something else like yechi-nicks (which I am NOT) because we are all meshichistim really.
    That yellow flag is just a sign of missionaries. Thats what I hear opinions from alot of people in the outside world. They are not sure what it is….some go to the ohel, some don’t, some say yechi in shul and some only at home….because its a “manmade” belief. Its with the people’s emotions but totally out of normal limits. Most people I run into in the “outside” world think its a joke and its hard for the rest of us to keep our dignity. I for one, feel strongly to do the Rebbe’s inyonim, but cannot be a missionary. Nothing needs to be added to the Rebbe’s inyonim, its all there, and we are radical and revolutionary just to know and try to implement the Rebbe’s inyonim. This picture is a brilliant “chap” and a real statement. i agree that its hashgacha protis.

  • yechi hamelech

    ha u people r nutssss!
    ur saying that someone who believes the rebbe is moshiach and is here with us NOW is not jewish???????????
    who r u 2 determine that?
    r u greater than moshe rabeinu than hashem and his torah??????????
    cuz acc to g-d i am perfectly jewish!
    and u know what else i actually follow the rebbe melech hamoshiach!
    so grow up!and start following hashems laws such as AHAVAS YISROEL for starters!

  • Sarah Leah

    If it wan’t in CH, then it could be “normal” US. But – I don’t think we needed to give some of their pagan ritual any press here. Fechs.

  • I didnt read most these comments but

    One thing i know forsure is that we must stop these politics! Look, to all you people out there, i dont get the whole “rebbe is alive” mishigas BUT i dont think i have the right to judge other people. Let people believe what they want (as long as its jewish, v“dal). V”DAL i hav no more that NEEDS to b said.

  • Nobody

    There is certainly something wrong. Not with someone renting an apartment from a goy, but tens of comments calling your fellow Jews ovdei avoda zora.

  • CH.info Bias is apparent

    That this Web Site puts this up for comment shows that it is a very biased site. Enough of ur incitement of the ppl of CH and this type of rubbish!
