    That’s tasteless Rabbi…There are plenty of other ways to get your message out. I’m sure the Rebbe would not find the humor in this.

    I agree with #1, #2 & #5. At least make a decent sign, not on ripped up grocery boxes. Very tacky. And after the sign comes….what? Any informational brochures? Seems half thought out to me.

    what is chabad coming to these days? Shluchim catering only to the wealthy and yungere-Shluchim posing like the homeless in a cheap publicity stunt? Oy – the Rebbe would not approve…

    very poor taste. Any satire regarding homeless or infirm has no place for rabbis. This is a huge mistake that can land him in hot water with congregants. You would be surprised how many people may have a homeless relative, to think he/she is the butt of the joke is hurtful. Rabbi, please renounce this.

    A Jew should not use the homeless to make a point – he should get them homes…. :(
