NEW YORK, NY [CHI] — Hundreds gathered at New York’s Cipriani 42 near Grand Central to celebrate Chabad of Midtown’s 12th annual dinner. The guest of honor was Brett Ratner, one of the most successful movie directors in the industry. Brett spoke movingly of his experiences as a yeshiva student and even regaled the audience with the yiddish song his grandmother would sing to him as a child.

Mazal Tov Rabbi & Mrs. Josh. May HaShem repay you abundantly for your hard work.
No connection?
Anyone know why Chabad has no connection with Steven Spielberg? I believe that Spielberg can be used as a tool for Shluchim, being that many frei Jews think very highly of him, it can bring a lot of Jews to Chabad. (To a lot of Frei Jews he is the “symbol” of the “successful American Jew”)
(Brett Ratner is big, but nowhere close to Spielberg. Spielberg has mega-power – he is now worth around 3 billion.)

chabad of midtown is obviously not feeling the current recession
Spielberg and Chabad
Chabad used to have a big connection with Spielberg but that got cut when we refused to convert his goyishe wife…
