  • Great Shots!

    I thought there was some great photography in the film, at 3:15 the Bochur in the Sukkah is a winner! Great lighting, great composition, good subject, terrific shot!

  • is this a joke?

    now im not talking about the video but about all the people that came in, did they come in for fun? because there are 24 hours action? for all the gashmiyus?

    what happened to come in so we can daven in 770 or being close by tekius or singing the nigunnim the night of yom kippur? all the rucnius that comes with it?

    just my 2 cents

    • i agree with 4

      even more than that, why was the video about them? it should have been interviews of regular bochurim who came to spend tishrei with the REBBE, not to hang out on kingston with all the action

  • OMG

    Finally someone does something positive
    and there are still lame comments like #4
    please see the positive in life

  • chaim from frankston

    They couldnt have picked anyone better then raff – you made the fairdinkim aussies proud to have such a great ‘bondibeacher’ chossid! :)

    This video is beautifully done real talent in the composition etc. That being said it saddens me that of all the thousands of people here in CH over Tishrei he chose people who look as far from being what a Chossid and a bochur in a Lubavitch yeshiva should look like… SBH is ‘fun’ and it is a 24 hr party…yet that is FAR from the essence of what can be found in CH over Tishrei .

    • so what else is new?

      and here I was impressed at the display of people who don’t come from a chabad background or for that matter a frum background and yet felt that this was the place to be. and they did mention coming to see and feel authentic yiddishkiet and chassidishkiet and to be with the Rebbe. This time you’re WRONG!

  • crown heights

    4 I DISGREE WITH YOU B/C YOU DONT KNOW WHY PEOPLE COME IN YOU ARE NOT TO JUDGE PEOPLE WHY THEY COME IN I KNOW 2 PEOPLE ON THIS VIDEO THEY FOR THE REBBE NOT TO HANGE A ROUND.

  • not a snag

    why is crown heights the center of judaism? im pretty sure god told us to go to the temple in jerusalem throughout the bible.
    המקום אשר יבחר ה לשכן שמו שמה וכו

    maybe focus less on hiskashrus with the rebbe more on hiskashrus with hashem
