Brooklyn, NY –- Monday night amidst a L’chaim taking place in the Jewish Childrens Museum a few of the participants noticed they were missing some of their personal belongings, and after a quick search they found it to be in the possession of a Jewish woman who was attending the event herself but was not related to any of the families.

Their mission stemmed back to the Alter Rebbe who claimed that spreading Chassidus in America is a necessary goal in bringing Moshiach. The kelipot that was inhibiting the Yiddishkeit of American Jews caused them to feel that America was a country where religious Judaism had no place (certainly in the public eye). Unfortunately this misconception plagued religious and non-religious Jews alike.
