Mendel
If dad can do it…. WHY CAN’T I?
curious
Just curious, does the photographer spend all his time on EP snapping pics of idiots?
DUH
now we know why the kids do it.
BE AN EXAMPLE PEOPLE!
Not Surprized
Do any of these ‘people’ have a death wish?
Who cares
They’re adults and responsible for their own actions.
If they want to put themselves in danger, what do you care?
Hadassa Rabinovich
Do any of these guys honestly think they’re saving time by not walking to corner to cross such a busy street? You can see just how long they have to stand IN the actual traffic before they dash across, so no time is saved – maybe it’s even wasted! I’m no maven on halacha, isn’t there some inyan against purposefully putting yourself in danger for no real reason?! I’m sure their mothers will be very happy to see these pictures!
BS D
wow that is nuts
no matter what age you are you can not cross Eastern Parkway like that it is dangerous
Just wondering
Was the “J” in “jay”walking put there because of Jews?
Sarah Rivkah
The Rebbe teaching us to be a Dugmah chaya for our kinderlach! That’s what they see!!!!!
Chilul Hashem 100 %
crazy people
I couldnot help thinking, what would happen if he tripped and fell just as the cars are coming! I only hope my son doesnot do that when he visits CH, its bad enough that we live in a country when you look right so see if any traffic is coming!!
anyone
At least they’re holding their hats so they don’t blow off!
Yawn Yawn
OK Mr. Photographer, you have made it clear that you ain’t winning no pulitzer prize for your efforts here. You made your point a couple of weeks ago. Now it’s time to grow up and get a real job.
mmmm
very dangerous,
terrible example, oiver on Vnishmartem es nafshoisechem
but can the photographer get a life!??!?
maybe paparazi for some paper….
Now find drivers!
Where are the pictures of Crown Heights drivers? We get the pedestrian point now since you have a great camera and obviously lots of time to spare go find bad drivers or can’t you leave your E.P bench.
smart idea
they should build a metal gate (they have it up in many places in NY) by the median so these smart guys will have to walk to the corner
“The word jaywalk is a compound word derived from the word jay, an inexperienced person, and walk.[4] No historical evidence supports an alternative folk etymology by which the word is traced to the letter ”J“ (characterizing the route a jaywalker might follow).
”In towns in the American Midwest in the early 20th century, “jay” was a synonym for “rube”, a pejorative term for a rural resident, assumed by many urbanites to be stupid or slightly unintelligent. Such a person did not know to keep out of the way of other fellow pedestrians and speeding automobiles.[5] Originally, the legal rule was that “all persons have an equal right in the highway, and that in exercising the right each shall take due care not to injure other users of the way.”[6] In time, however, streets became the province of motorized traffic, both practically and legally. Automobile interests took up the cause of labeling and scorning jaywalkers in the 1910’s and early 1920’s; a counter-campaign to name (and disapprove of) “jay drivers” failed.[7]“
The term ”jaywalking” has nothing to do with Jews.

Chicken
I can’t wait to see next his picture of a chicken crossing the road.
Mendy Hecht
I’ve done that many times myself. Now that I know what it looks like, I think I’ll stop.
kappors time
to chicken u’ll prob have to wait till kappos time
Genug Shoin
1984. Big brother is watching you.
Except it Crown Heights, not the book. But getting awfully close. Mr. Photographer, how many more. How many more, Mr. Photographer???????
Brocha Hurwitz
THIS MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK I SAW SHEA HECHT CROSSING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, I WAS SHOCKED.
HE IS THE ONE TO LOOK UP TO!
WHEN GROWN PEOPLE CROSS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET WHAT DOES IT TEACH OUR CHILDREN?
B”H MALACH GAVRIEL AND MALACH MICHOEL ARE WATCHING OVER US.
BUT DONT TEMPED FATE.
IF WE WATCH OURSELF HASHEM WILL WATCH OVER US.
ee
he was running because it was his turn to lead the clapping before davening at 770
driver AND pedestrian
Maybe the cops should post someone half way down the block of 770 & ticket these morons with a death wish. Isn’t jay-walking still illegal in NY?
I must say, I think it’s just as wrong for Brocha Hurwitz to name & shame someone as it is for him to cross in the middle of EP. Ms. Hurwitz, why didn’t you call him & remind him how dangerous it is & that he should be an example? His number is in the Tzach list. What you did is disgusting. Webby, please delete his name before too many people see. Or in the interests of fairness, name & shame the Bochurim our roving photographer captured.
A teacher!
When Mrister photographer asks crownheights.info tu publish another picture means that the message he tried to show us wasnt received by all.
Teachers and adults should warn the younger generation and teach them in a nice manner how to cross the street as a dugma chaya for the community, for the people who look on lubavitchers ( who take example of them).
Remind: A pedestrian crossing is for people who walk for the two-feeted, the street is used for the bikes, cars, chucks etc!!
esther
CH residents should be grateful to the photographer who is obviously simply trying to save YOUR lives.
SHAME TO YOU!
YES I AGREE. THAT WAS PURE LASHON HARAH! NOT EVERYBODY HAD TO KNOW THAT! IT IS VERY BABYISH FOR YOU TO WRITE THAT!IMAGINE YOURSELF IN HIS PLACE. BEING PUBLISHED ON THE WEB WHERE THE WHOLE WORLD CAN SEE! SHAME TO YOU!
clowns
All these comments are so cute and funny . I think people that put up things on the web enjoy reading peoples comments, its enjoyable.

To ESTHER-
How does some photographer standing there snapping away saving anyone’s life?
The guy is mashuga. That is all.
Reminder
I agree that this is dangerous. So is crossing in a crosswalk while talking on your cell and re-arranging your packages so you don’t notice if cars are coming. Or walking out between two cars on the streets of CH. Or racing up Kingston in your car because you’re running late to pick your kids up. Or double parking (we don’t want to admit it but it IS dangerous, too). We should all be conscious of our own actions when judging others.
surprised to notice...
Can’t help but notice that these photos are being taken from INSIDE A CAR (see the 8th photo from the bottom).
I agree with the message being sent, and am willing to give the benefit of the doubt that the photographer was parked (although I don’t know how you could get this angle from a parked car), but if not, then the message needs to go both ways.
To “driver & pedestrian”, while I agree that it was insensitive of B. Hurwitz to name a name, it is not Lashon Hara if it is for pekuach nefesh. And in her defense, at least she put her own name as well.
Top 10
1)They should make a bridge from 749 to 770. Problem solved.
2)So What? Shluchai mitzva aina nizokin.
3)Why did the bochur cross the road? Because he couldn’t wait – AD Mosai!
4)L’chatchiala ariber!
5)How many bocherim does it take to wait for a light to change? None – They don’t.
6)What did one yechinick say to the other? Forget Moshiach…That car is comming!
7)Its a rase “to” the finish, not to be finished.
8)To cross or not to cross that is the question.
9) It better to lose a minute of your life than your life in a minute.
10)Shmiras Saider.
A long timer of C.H.
I believe that only by doing what Brocha Hurwitz did- it might help…. Shea Hecht will NOT cross any more EP, if however B.H. would not rite his name he would continue crossing even if u would ask him not to…I am an old body of S.H. and I mean only good.
HELLO ALL YOU BASHING THE PHOTOGRAPHER:
who knows??
maybe this guy was twice on his way to work or 770 or something, happened to bring his digital camera along, and on the way, saw this achzorius, and decided to take action.
BH it helped at least a bit, as commenter mendy hecht said he“ll stop doing that
but i agree completely witth one commenter, ”if tati does it, why cant i?” is what our kids will say/are saying
we have to be a dugma chaya for our kids!!!
do you want to be the next kapara? who needs chickens, when we have people running to the sword so to speak
1/10 will be the unlucky one to become the next kapara
sorry to be the voice of doom, but SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE!

Just wondering,
According to Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wik… ):
“The word jaywalk is a compound word derived from the word jay, an inexperienced person, and walk.[4] No historical evidence supports an alternative folk etymology by which the word is traced to the letter ”J“ (characterizing the route a jaywalker might follow).
