Chasid Among Satellite’s Launch Team
TEL AVIV, Israel — A technical fault may have been the cause of the original delay of the launch of Israel’s AMOS-3 communications satellite, but engineers decided to delay the liftoff until after Passover in deference to a member of the launch team who is a Chabad-Lubavitch Chasid.
Profiled in this week’s Makor Rishon, Alexander Freedman, a Russian native who moved to Israel 38 years ago, has been seeing the satellite on its journey to final orbit since its launch Monday from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

I don’t understand, young lubavitchers who attend college nowadays (even Jewish ones) are shunned, however the day they become successful, Roshei Yeshivos start respecting them in hopes that they become future supporters of their Mosed. This is a pure example of Lubavich’s two facedness, posting an article about a successful college graduate, who if not for his college education would not have been able to attain such a high position.

I don’t understand. There are numerous cases were the Rebbe instructed people to finish college or even to go. Who are we to judge the people going to college. Not every person is meant to be a Shliach. If they went to college then yes, you have to love them just like you love and mekarev them like anyone else, they are no different.
