Lag BaOmer in front of 770

At first it was dancing with out a fire, then a barrel was rolled in and the fire began burning, up into the early hours of the morning. Then FDNY arrived to assist in putting out the fire, but the dancing continued…

    At first they didn’t block off the street. But when we started the fire the cops came and blocked off the street.

  • TO Berel

    And any way whats wrong with a new MINHAG as u call it ?
    Are u the same Berel who commented on the Badatz in the previous article?
    it sounds like ur a young kid who knows only the BS thats been going around in ur sircle
    About bureing fisher halavie
    u know nothing about the rebbe u speak crap shemrah dosent even say such things like that
    i could go on and proff evrything to u but it probebly wont help it will take some time maybe when u growe up maybe?
    but 1 thing i can say to u and evry1 else be mekusher to the rebbe LEARN sichos mamorim do what the rebbe wants (says in the sicho) not what ur bad influence tells u what the rebbe MENT didnt MEEN had in mind etc. and if ur mekusher so than the rebbe will help u

    ___________________________________________

    I remember bonfires before Gimmel Tammuz as well. My last Lag Beoimer in CH before this one was actually in nun aleph and I remember the fires very well.

  • Berl

    Before Gimmul Tammuz?! I don’t remember the Rebbe ever lighting a bon-fire or even speaking about having here a bon-fire!!
    It’s a new Kutty-Tzfas-Yechi Meshugas…

  • berel 2nd time

    You are very wrong
    1st no 1 said the rebbe light a bonfire
    no. 2 b4 gimmel tamuz there were bon fires on lag beomer in front of 770 its a fact
    if u dont remember it could be b/c u didnt know or b/c u were not there
    and anyway whats wrong with a new MINHAG as u say? u are full of hate and full of bs shtus d’klipah
    i told u b4 LEARN the rebbes sichos any1 u want it will help u and u need help
    ofcourse if u think fighting mendy hendel and yechi is ur hiskashrus to the rebbe
    then there is no hope for u in that case ur a brocha l’vatolah

    to: TO BEREL

    you write that berel is a young kid, you fool! YOU write like a 10 year old child who has no idea what hit! you cant even write like a human being!

    it is because of people like you that crown heights teens are currently modern-orthodox!

    you dont seem to realize that "yesh bal habayis lbirah zoo" and that the rebbe is in charge of lubavitch.

    "go learn sichos", we were there when the sichos and mamorim were said! we fought for the kovod of lubavitch! we went on mesiras nefesh! now you think you will come and modernize lubavitch?!

    lubavitch is not noiheg to make bonfires on lag baomer (lubavitch=rebbe), and if some isreali sefardi balei tshuvos decide to bring their israeli garbage to america it dosn’t mean that lubavitch has to accept it.

    bal tshuvas are supposed to go up to the level of lubavitch, it should not be lubavitch going down to the level of bal tshuvos (vein kan hamokom leharich)

    you have no idea what transpired over the years together with the rebbe! all you know is lubavitch is "cool" and "hip", you low-life! lubavitch is the most frum sect of yiddishkeit! if you choose not to follow lubavitch then leave and go back to where you came from! no one needs you!

  • jas

    to the frumspace guy itzik

    just because mr. rapp decided to make fires does not make it a minhag chabad. chabd is the rebbe, if the rebbe was never misyachus to it then its not lubavitch. (the same goes for igros and all other new inventions).

    and i enjoy the music on your site, it is the only radio that i found decent jewish music.

  • to Berels lawyer

    get the facts straight
    1 there were bonfries IN FRONT OF 770 B4 gimmel tamuz ON LAG BEOMER not evry year but it did hapen a few times
    2 ur full of hate like i told berel there is nothing wrong with a new MINHAG as you murans call it
    3 i bet ur still faighting for kovod lubavitch …yeh right u fake fraud fony
    u dont wana go down to the level of balei teshuvah halevai u should be on the level of teshuvah
    and 4 i go to agree with you there is a bal habais l’birah zu and that is the rebbe not any1 else dont say this is what the rebbe ment this is what he had in mind …etc. just do what the REBBE says pleases please go LEARN the sichos mamorim igros something from the rebbe go on mivtzoim do some thing the rebbe wants this is the only thing that can heel you you need help u have a machlah that a few other ppl have and it is spreding we must stop it
    there is nothing wrong with YECHI and there is nothing wrong with a bonfire( even if its a new minhag ..and its not) there is nothing wron with balei teshuvah ( lets not talk about harvi lang) and what did kuty rap do to you? he is 1 of the ppl fighting for shlaimus haretz ( yeh i know thats not what the rebbe wants ..is that what ur thinkin?)
    and if your so against fires on log beomer in lubavitch than Y dont you comment on the fire that tooke place in shulem hurewitz house? or the 1 tzivos hashem had?
