    “He said he would give up his career for his kids.”

    He appears to be a very nice hamish mensch however in todays employment climate I submit he better keep his career in order to support his kids.

    I suspect that was a scripted line…

    IMHO it does not matter what he said, it’s an AMAZING thing to have a lubavitcher on a national TV commercial!

    It’s like we’re becoming less of a novelty and more of an accepted part of the cultural American landscape, which is AWESOME.

    RE:curious

    I don’t think so. I passed by when they were recording the advertisement and anyone was able to go up and say something.

    Mr Bronstein is a true talmid chochum and dugma chaya to other lubavitchers. I know him well and greatly respect him.

  • What does this mean?

    So if the yeshievas decided that they they would not eccept children who’s father is a lawyer, you would give up your lawyer job and go into sales?

    Doesit mean you come home early to do homework?

  • Observing

    Why would any Yeshiva reject a child who’s parent; Mother or Father is an attorney? How did this question ever come up as an interpretation of the commercial?
