    Refua Sheleima to Tzadok Ben Shaul Eliezer HaLevi AKA Tzadok Ben Mashe Rochel AKA Charlie Buttons

    of course we should all daven for him and have a refuah but most of us dont know why we were sent down to this world i think we can all agree his job on this world is to make people happy!
    may he continue to do so for many years

  • R- Shlomo In Eretz Yisroel

    For goodness SAKE. What hospital ? In LA or New York ?
    Ah Groiza Refuah Shleioma !

  • Shimon

    He’s dehydrated. He’s not used to flying and he didn’t drink enough water.

  • Genug shoyn

    Sorry to rain on everyone’s parade. Enough harboring and looking up to meshuggeners and whackos already. This man has money and a home and he just plain bothers normal people. He spreads disease in the mikveh by using it without showering and he speaks in a manner that children should not hear.

    Skvere should be a wake up call. Look at that nut Sofer making a fool of himself on tape. Chabad has 1000 Sofers. One day, we’ll have a Rotenberg too if we don’t take down the 770 nut magnet.

  • correction

    his name is Tzadik halevi, not tzadok. it’s a sfardi name (he is of sfardi decent – al least on his fathers side)is his mothers name rochel or rivka?

  • Genug shoyn

    His name is not Tzadik nor is he one. More of his incessant plea for attention that we are all suckered into. I know his surname (he does have a medical problem that would not be life-threatening if he lived a normal life) and he is as Sefardi as a pound of pickled herring.

    If you really want to daven for him, assume that his name is Yechezkel – most of the time that is the Hebrew name which goes with Charles in the US.

  • Steven

    Genug shoyn,

    Your comments are not welcomed here. Anyone who has ever met Charlie knows that he is a loving and kind man and is an important figure in the CH community.

  • Genug shoyn

    “Important figure in the CH community”…one of the many reasons the CH community is a laughingstock in the frum world and even in Chabad.

  • Breslov Loves Charlie!

    Charlie is a good example of how we can show ahavas yisroel! He even came to my wedding in Boro Park. It meant a lot to me because I don’t have a lot of family, and having someone come to make Simchas Chosson V’Kallah even if it was inconvenient inspired me to be a more loving Jew. We should pray for his complete and speedy recovery AND for those that are making hurtful comments. This is not how yidden should act towards each other. While we’re at it, we should pray that he find his shidduch too!!

  • to Genug Shoyn

    Genug shoyn!

    Is it really worth getting your knickers in a knot over someone whom you clearly don’t care for?

  • anonymouse

    he was at my uncle’s wedding! that was the first time in my life that i saw him and the french acrobat twins.

  • Genug shoyn

    Yes. Because Charlie and his ilk are DANGEROUS. He’s one of the better meshuggeners and mostly a nuisance, but CH and 770 harbor some far more dangerous meshuggeners who can go off in an instant and hurt an innocent person.

    It starts with thinking the antics of one harmless nut and pest are funny, and turning him into a mascot. Then it progresses to allowing CH to be the address for every fake schnorrer, every drug addict, every escaped mental patient who claims he is Jewish. There is an illegal halfway house in the community that has to be shut down, and fast. And there is another halfway house operating in 770 that needs to be cleaned with a pressure washer the way Sarkozy wanted to clean the French slums with a pressure washer.

    Real ahavas Yisroel includes protecting the innocent against those who cannot be helped or who do not want to be helped.

  • A CLOSE FRIEND OF CHARLIE

    CHARLIE’S HEBREW NAME IS TZADIK “HALEVI” AND HE IS THE SON OF ISREAL ELIEZER AND MASHAH ROCEHL. HE IS AT NEW YORK METHODIST HOSPITAL ROOM 518 IN INFEL BUILDING PHONE NUMBER 718 780 7082. HE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE VISITORS OR PEOPLE CALL HIM TO KEEP HIM BUSY FOR THE DURATION OF HIS STAY WHICH AT THIS MOMENT IS UNCLEAR HOW LONG WOULD THAT BE.
    HE IS OUT OF ICU AND BUT HAS PROBLEMS WITH HIS LEGS WHICH IS NOT LIFE TREATING BUT VERY PAINFUL AND UNPLEASANT SIGHT.
    WISH HIM A SPEEDY RECOVERY AND REFUAH SHELEMA
    PS PEOPLE SHOULD REFRAIN FROM WRITING UNKNOWN INFORMATION AND HURTFUL COMMENTS.

  • Genug shoyn

    Sorry, this kiddie “if you have nothing nice to say, don’t say it” junk just doesn’t cut it.

    It is because of this see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, have no standards attitude that half of CH is frying out. It is also why we have the Vaad haKohol and messira mess.

    Time to stop being like the lefties with this PC nonsense. Time to call nuts (and ganovim, and oisvorfen) what they are and get them help outside the shechuna if need be instead of allowing them to use the shechuna as a playground.

    Charlie is one of the “better” ones. But he is a public menace according to the standards of any civilized community. I’d also like to see his bank statements. I have a feeling he’s better off than a lot of people in the shechuna.

    Enough of this Carlebach-Barney the Dinosaur love everyone junk.

    The shechuna needs Red Devil style “tough love” again. As in not only the famous Red Devil who called the Kook Karta down for what they are, but as in Red Devil Paint and Varnish Remover (if that stuff is still around), which cleans off layers and layers of accumulated schmutz with just one application.

    genug shoyn – thou art an edifice of evil. Get thee far away from the commune of keter elyon.

  • Mordy

    The Rebbe always waved to charlie buttons when he walked in an out of shul.

    Genug shoyn are you smarter than the rebbe?

  • Genug shoyn

    The Rebbe also gave a nickel or a quarter, I don’t remember which, to a girl who nebach passed away under awful circumstances, vehamayvin yavin (I won’t say who else got a coin that day, vehamayvin yavin). We don’t know why the Rebbe did things.

    I know that 770 has become a sad zoo that most normal people don’t want to set foot in anymore. A Rudy Giuliani no-tolerance policy and a Sarkozy pressure washer job is what we need now.

  • NoYechi770InJerusalem

    To #45:
    I am also a close friend of Charlie & his fathers name is Shaul Eliezer.
    I am not sure if his name is Tzadik or Tzadok
    To Genug Shoyn:
    Genug Shoyn,I know Charlie since the 70’s & he was fequently a guest at my house for shabbos & yom tov.
    If Charlie ever comes to Israel he has an open inivitation any time!!!!
    Dude you are barking up the wrong tree!!!

  • R. Oren

    To Genug Shoyn, Yes Crown Heights has problems, as do most comunities, but they are the exception not the rule! As for Charlie, The Rebbee always smiled at Charlie, He never smiled at me, I take that as my fault, not the Rebbees, Charlie has problems, we all do but, the joy Charlie spreads where ever he goes is a great blessing! As the saying goes ‘people in glass houses should not through stones’! I pray that you and all of Israel should have a Refuah Shlamah!

  • DEVORAH CHAYAH

    I HOPE CHARLIE FEELS BETTER. I HAVE NOT MET YET, BUT I HEARD SO MANY WONDERFUL THINGS ABOUT HIM. I REALLY HOPE HE GETS BETTER SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • yanqui

    merry passover, as he says all year long.

    what I wonder is if he makes kvitzas haderech – he seems to be in CH and LSS (Upper West Side) almost simultaneously.

    he was in Methodist again a couple of weeks ago with a leg infection, haven’t heard his condition recently.
