TV Set Chabad House Lettering Fixed

The backwards Hebrew lettering that sparked the interest of two Lubavitchers on an off the beaten track Brooklyn Street, has been put right. The words, “Chabad Williamsburg,” had been spelled out left to right (instead of right to left), on a store front being rented for a TV set. The two Lubavitchers didn’t put the situation to waste, and after confirming that it wasn’t an actual Chabad House, made sure to put Tefillin on one of the people building the set.

Picture of the Day

Imagine walking down a Brooklyn street and discovering a New Chabad House, so new in fact that it isn’t even staffed by Chabad. Two Lubavitchers came across such a place on Metropolitan Ave, but something just wasn’t right. The hebrew letters saying “Chabad Williamsburg” were the wrong way around, sparking their interest. They entered the “Chabad House” to discover that it was really a TV set for an upcoming show. Needless to say that by the time they left at least one person had put on tefillin.
