    Rabbi Zippel: Congratulations!

    For the sake of Lubavitch’s reputation (what is left of it) I hope your personal reputation continues to lag behind your public image.

    Just kidding:) Great job and keep up the good work!

  • very powerful!

    This shliach is standing up there , representing the Lubavitcher Rebbe. Hes got all that power even president Bush wants him up there . Shows the strength of Lubavitch.

    Lubavitch RULES the WORLD!

    Hey Rabbi Z!
    You rock!…and where’s the Shlucha? Wasn’t she there? Doesn’t she count? Surely there’s a pic of you both and Pres. Bush! Where’t the credit to the power behind the throne?!

    Keep up the good work!

  • To Sharonne

    It is a very special testament to a Shlucha, who although was present, and is "the power behind the throne," and possibly even has a picture of herself with the pres, does not feel neccesary or proper to post her face on a Crown Heights website.

    Truth be told both Rabbi Zippel and his wife are exceptionally dynamic people. I have heard a lot about the good work that they do. In particular to be a shlucha in a State where you have to home school your own children, send the older ones away at 13, and with all that cook, cater, organise, lecture, etc. etc. is a testament to the koichois of the Rebbe!

    We might be dealing with issues in CH but let’s not lose faith in Lubavitch which still rocks the world!

    Moshiach Now!

    Is that you? Are you writing in third person about yourself? You still have your sense of humor!
