A Journalist View of Chabad at the Banquet

Jonathan Mark – The Jewish Week

NEW YORK, NY — There is an old joke that Orthodox Jews tell: “What is the closest religion to Judaism?” Chabad-Lubavitch is the punchline. Everyone “gets it.” Everyone thinks they know about Chabad’s messianism, that a few Chabadniks believe that the rebbe, Menachem Mendel Schneerson, who died in 1994, is still alive.

In fairness, the rebbe’s messianism or divinity is not advocated in any of Chabad’s official literature; it’s even reprimanded. But fairness has nothing to do with it.

7 Villa Robert Lindet, Paris, 15th District: The Rebbe's residence was on the third floor before he left the French capital.

BROOKLYN, NY — To many followers, admirers and historians, much of the life of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, of righteous memory, prior to his arrival in the United States in 1940 is a mystery. In a new documentary DVD featuring interviews and documents that cover the years 1938-1940, however, some details of this previously unexplored Paris chapter of the Rebbe's early years are brought to light.

CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] – A Bochur was accosted while walking on New York Avenue between Carroll and President Streets yesterday, Tuesday, at around 4:00 PM, by a group of what appeared to be Black teens, who hurled anti-Semitic slurs and profanities at him. The group was composed of around 10 youths all of whom appeared to be on their way home from school.

When the Bochur passed the group, they began to shout “Heil Hitler” and “Run away Jew, Hitler’s coming to kill you all”, along with other profanities. The Bochur crossed the street, approached the youths and asked them if they were aware “that Hitler killed 6 million Jews.” Seeing that the youths appeared shocked, the Bochur continued, “did you know that he hated and killed Blacks just the same?”
