Just a week after we published the protest of a Rabbi in the Chabad community in Melbourne, Rabbi Tzvi Telsner against a handful of depraved and shameless individuals who disguise themselves as Chassidim, that took it upon themselves to cancel the fast of Asara B’Teves and to celebrate it as a holiday – Rabbi Gedalia Axelrod, Chabad Rabbi in Haifa, a letter unprecedented in its sharpness against these groups who willfully shame themselves in Chabads name.

Photos: Bais Shmuel Hosts its Annual Melava Malka
Crown Heights based, Congregation Bais Shmuel-Chabad, celebrated its annual Melava Malka this past Motzei Shabbos. The evening was in tribute to 60 years of the Rebbe’s leadership. (Tuf Shin Yud—Tuf Shin Ayin).
In his subsequent years as a spiritual mentor, he would often recount the tales of these personalities and the lessons that he was able to glean from them regarding his service of G-d.
Among these accounts was his encounter with a group of youth belonging to the “Haskalah” (Enlightenment) Movement. Members of this faction were wont to mock and disgrace all that is holy, especially the Jewish faith.
During his chat with the youngsters, they proudly shared their glorious history. They bragged about the day when a group of them, on their way to work, came upon a number of Chassidim walking with their Rebbe, the eminent Rebbe of Rudzhin.
They vividly recalled how they took advantage of the opportunity to ridicule and denigrate the “Fanatic believers.” When the Chassidim failed to react, they unleashed a more sordid battery of venomous insults. Seeing that they had no intentions to relent, the Rebbe turned to the head of the band and said, “It appears that you seek an unusual death.”
