After Years of Advocacy And Multiple Violent Incidents, Bochur Gets Banned From 770
by CrownHeights.info
A low level of simmering animosity and periodic clashes has become an accepted thing in 770 over the years, with the level of violence and damage creeping up without much action taken to prevent it. This past week, another step was taken to curb said violence with a ban placed on one of its instigators, Baruch Shneur Frishman.
In a public notice, released by the Vaad under the Gabboim of “Beit Chayeinu – 770,” the Vaad states that the decision was made “in accordance with the explicit directive of the Beit Din” and out of a responsibility to preserve both the sanctity of the shul and the safety of its worshippers. The individual named in the notice, Baruch Shneur Frishman, is prohibited from entering all areas of 770 “until further notice.”
According to the statement, the move follows multiple attempts by community leaders to assist the individual and guide him toward appropriate support and treatment. Those efforts, the notice says, were “repeatedly turned down and declined.” Additionally, he was summoned to appear before the Beit Din but failed to respond.
“The position of the Rabbanim is clear and unequivocal: there is no place for violence within the daled amot of the Rebbe,” the notice reads, emphasizing a zero-tolerance stance for disruptive behavior inside the movement’s central synagogue.
The decision to take action against Frishman appears to surround a series of incidents, including a propaganda video released by activists in 770 against Frishman, as well as an assault that ended with Frishman being maced in 770.

The development comes as tensions surrounding 770 have remained high in recent years, particularly following the discovery of the unauthorized attempt to “expand” 770, which destabilized the Kingston Ave women’s section and triggered a series of confrontations between bochurim and the authorities. Those incidents led to arrests, with some defendants accepting plea agreements and others facing trial.
In the wake of those events, community leadership has taken a firmer stance on maintaining order inside 770, including cooperating with authorities and enforcing internal restrictions on individuals deemed to pose a threat to safety or stability.
Propaganda video released against Frishman:
The notice published last week concluded with a call to the broader community to assist in finding a “genuine and sustainable solution” for the individual, urging anyone with influence to step forward. At the same time, it reiterates the leadership’s central goal: ensuring that “Beit Rabbeinu Sheb’Bavel” remains a welcoming and secure place for all.
While such public notices are relatively rare, they underscore the seriousness with which the leadership is now approaching issues of safety and decorum inside 770.
Please
Translate the video to English
Now we
Just need a few hundred other guys to be permanent banned and the shull will be great again
Yerachmiel
BS”D
buh bye. The Administration needs to revoke their permits.
Ben Yehuda
“a few hundred”?! Oh, please…
Another huge problem
Is that people smoke cigarettes inside of 770 or right next to the door. Why would anyone want to step foot in a place where I can’t even enter without inhaling second hand ciggerate smoke from inconsiderate people
Ben Yehuda
Actually, the smoking situation is way better than it used to be
How is
The smoking situation any better? People still always smoke inside and right by the front door
Shaina Hecht
It seems he is being persecuted and defending himself and people spent so much time and energy making a video like this against him I believe there’s more to the story. You men can’t guide him and rather push him away shame on you, I will daven that you are all punished in this life instead of the world to come for preventing him from using his talents for the good.
Ignorant
Tell us more
Yudi
Never ever wish pain upon another.
It is very possible this situation was handled incorrectly. But never pray for the pain of others. Smh
the person
in the first video is not frishman
Chabad is Laughing stock of the world
Lubavitch has lost its way so sad
Wrong
Lubavitch is well respected in the world, and hasn’t “lost its way,” any more than other yeshivos have “lost their way” because of the existence of mechablim and son’I’m.
P. McDonald
The one that calls others Mechabel is the real Mechabel
Well, then
that might be you, since the only mention of that term in this article or the comments was in connection with a group in a certain yeshiva that actually called themselves that.
wisekid
I am sure they asked the the Rebbe Shlita first
they cant choose and have him alive when they want and not ask him when they dont
tomim bemes
The Rebbe only anwsers through igros kodesh – and nobody ever dared ask him in the past if one can ban someone from 770 therefore there is not letter on the subject
Simple Jew
Am I the only one who thinks the guy who attacked him and pepper sprayed him should have been the banned? Something seems off
G.Singh
The simple Jew lived in the time of the Bal Shemtov. Now politics rules
Ben Yehuda
From what I am seeing, the one that pepper sprayed was not attacking him, but he was stopping him from hurting more people
G.Singh
One Jew pepper spraying another Jew in the Rebbes shul in not Chabad at it’s best
Levy
