  • IF SO , LETS GO

    WERE THOSE ORANGE KAPOTES MADE BY THE INFAMOUS MENDY SACHO?
    IF SO
    THEY ARE BRILLIANT!!!

  • what do you mena?

    By using the word ‘infamous’ its hard to tell if you mean to compliment this sacho guy or not

  • To what do you mean?

    Don’t read into it – using infamous instead of famous is one of the most common mistakes (Check out YSP ads in Nishei Chabad newsletters – “come to our infamous camp”)
    Pretty funny.

  • To green

    I’m pretty sure that the money that’s made supports all the shluchim in California, which I’m sure costs a lot of money. The work that Rabbi Cunin puts in to make sure that all the facilities are running properly, is mind-boggling. May Hashem give him continuous strength to be able to continue doing this for many years to come

  • stop loshen Hora

    How did this article land up speaking Loshen Hora about sacho…
    The kapota Mendy Pellin is wearing is made by SACHO.

    Its Elul stop with the bashing. As far as wher the money goes im not sure if that comments is an attempt to speak Loshen Hora about Rabbi Cunin. His work is amazing!

  • Friend of a friend of a friend
