Fire Hazard Sends Seforim and Beis Moshiach to Dumpster

It was a bizarre spectacle seeing boxes of brand new Seforim, along with thousands of copies of Beis Moshiach magazine being hauled out of an Eastern Parkway building’s basement, and into a large dumpster waiting at the curb.

According to the management of the building a routine FDNY inspection in the building had firefighters concerned over the fire hazard the amount of paper materials posed, and requested that the basement be cleared out.

    when a torah is written wrong and never kosher you need to trash it. Beis Moshiach finally was put where it belongs… In the trash.

    It must be moshiach’s times when we can truly junk all evil and keep only the good in the world.

  • Ahavas Chinom

    The headline was very misleading, and not appropriate especially in a time when we can use more Ahavas Chinom! As you can see in the picture they needed to clear the basement so they used what is called a “dumpster”, however who is to say that it went to the garbage?!

  • so much for yechi

    So respectful of the Bais Moschiach people to just toss the magazines with covers of the Rebbe on a pile, like garbage. And today’s heavy winds probably blew some away to be trampled on.

    Respect? HAH! Now go scream your little catch-phrase & tell us how the Rebbe personally did whatever, & you know it because you were told it by someone who still believes the Rebbe makes a farbrengen every Shabbos afternoon.

    HYPOCRITES!!

    what is the heter for this. let them spend a few dollars and put it in shaimos. It doesn’t matter if they used it or didn’t it’s a picture of the Rebbe M”HM.

    to michush

    you are rite but they could make $ by selling all these sforim ect..

  • Just Me

    haha so funny – yup where it belongs. Although some and I say ‘some” of the stories are cool – many to most I know first hand are washed up and exagerated to a fault no less. This magazine is an embarrasment period.

  • mother in ch

    and if people saw it being put INTO the garbage – these are HOLY seforim- why didn’t people try to take them OUT of the garbage.

  • Shalom

    To “Kfat Chabad Dud” and “Posul Torah” : beis moshiach is a great magazine and if you dont want to read it then dont, but leave out your negative comments! now especially, in time of sefirah with lag baomer around the corner and everyone trying to add in good deeds and ahavas yisroel for Rubashkin……why start with all the negative words? there’s no reason at all to “diss” anyone. why do u hold such hatred in your hearts? we are all am echud! we all want moshiach!!!! ENOUGH with all the nonsense machlokes over such things.

  • what-s wrong with you guy-s????

    you guy’s are the lamest it gets…

    seriously, crownheight’s info… really lame

  • Yossi

    i once saw a few boxes of seforim in a dumpster (garbage) on Albany Ave. where a building was being cleaned out, I hurriedly took them out and shipped them to my chabad house where they now fill the shelves in the library and are used daily.

  • Chaim

    If crown heights info is interetsed in achdus as it proclaims to be then it would unpost this story right away!!!

  • Stop fighting children!!

    C’mon guys!!

    770 got them thrown out – FDNY? jus another ploy against the Meshichists!!

    Its all going to another location – it was a containor used to move the vast amount!!

    770 will not be as protected and secure without all that kedusha and pix of the Rebbe……

    thank you

  • D.F

    To, what-s wrong with you guy-s????

    If you think that crownheights.info is lame then why are you spending your time posting comments on it?

  • D.F

    Even though I am not a mishachist I still think that it is not right for pictures of the Rebbe to be all over the sidewalk!

  • a disgrace

    is this vosizneis?? I cant lubavitchers would write its good to see the rebbes pictures in trash…. yep the world has gone mad :(((

  • Hendel

    What took so long? The Bais Hakise mag should go to the garbage right after its printed.

  • Eli

    That is terrible. I say take them to its rightful owner

    SB Drizin!

    Or maybe Sam Squirt.

  • moshicah now

    to “stop fighting children”:
    so how did 770 manage tillthe were printed?

  • FENDEL

    I GOT THE SOLUTION:

    GIVE THEM OUT ON THE SUBWAY TO THE AFRICAN AMERICANS. THAT WILL BRING MOSHIACH.

  • mother in ch

    Did you guys ever read Bais Moshiach? Or you didn’t just because of the name. There are amazing stories about the good our shlichim are doing. There are some wonderful sichos of the Rebbe. Why can’t people let go of their hate and their teams. This is not colorwar! Even if you don’t believe the Rebbe is Moshiach – you still believe in following the lessons he gave us. You still believe in doing acts of goodness and kindness to bring Moshiach- So why the hate?

  • Chaim

    To mother in CH:
    You hit it on the nail!! I applaud what you write!! The only exception I have to what you write is: if you are truly Lubavitch then you should believe the Rebbe is Moshiach!! Enough of the phonies that want to remain politically correct! I wonder if this was a Kfar Chabad magazine whether CHI would post the story.

  • ch mom

    to mother in CH #2
    the problem with bais moshiach is they skew everything the rebbe said. they add words or take away words, whichever makes the inyan sound more moshiach’dik. I agree – nothing wrong with putting garbage where it belongs.

  • awacs

    “they add words or take away words, whichever makes the inyan sound more moshiach’dik.”

    Examples, please?
