Cable Jew Video – Wall Street Meets The Rebbe

1987, Wall Street crashes and the financial world is in panic, stocks spiraling down into a bottomless pit, life-savings were wiped out and black Monday dominates the mood in the world financial community.

Steve Eisenberg was one of those who lost his fortunes and was on the way to losing his career.

As the saying goes: “There are no atheists in foxholes” Steve went to get a dollar from The Lubavitcher Rebbe. What did The Rebbe say that changed his life?

Thousands would line up every Sunday in front of 770 Eastern Parkway to get their dollar from The Rebbe and make eye contact for just one second. What drew a mini-United-Nations to the 80 year plus Rabbi just to get a dollar?

Jennifer Schuster and Steve Jacoby were amongst the multitudes, who instead of shopping or going to the beach, spent their Sunday afternoon, waiting in line for many hours, and they claim it was well worth every second. Just so they can enjoy a great rest of the week, and perhaps the rest of their lives.

And wait till you’ll hear how The Rebbe responded to a well-to-do-classy-lady when she challenged The Rebbe for spending his Sunday afternoon handing out dollars to all who asked for it.

A most inspiring narrative by three Wall Street executives about the influence The Rebbe had on their personal and business-lives. Presented in honor of the upcoming 15th anniversary of Gimmel Tammuz (June 25, 2009), as recorded in 1995.

What a story, what a man.
