    i would bet with the reabbi’s kid
    yet no-one really wins a pot of cholent like some good words
    anything is possible in the realm of reality

    Go Rabbi Peretz Chein (Brandeis University) You’re the best!
    The one who inspired this all!

  • anonymous

    thanks – great video, and i definitely needed the laugh today! rabbi harlig, i hope you run your marathon!!!

  • rabbi or actor?

    got mixed feelings about this clip. somehow i got the feeling this or something very similar has been done before.

    all in all – kinda cute.

  • an old friend

    Very cute Yossi, although I must give props to Rabbi Levi Shemtov, for coming up with the idea. Thus making him the originator :-)

  • Best HC ever

    I knew there must have been somoene that misses camp and especially acting in the grandplay more than I do. The real problem is, that Yossi didn’t even do excersize during line up as head counselor. Yossi, there were a few moments of this video that reminded me of the scavengar 89, of the bochrim davening while in the hotel room :)

  • disapointed

    Am I the only one who is uncomfortable with this clip?
    Health is vitally important, torah is vitally important. Watching a shliach watch TV doesn’t push good buttons for me.(In the morning and Later IN The Day)
    Many starts to explain why he didn’t come to the class and Rabbi says:
    “Forget that”!!? – I’m gonna run a marathon. If I can run a marathon people can come to a class at eight oclock? Something here really doesn’t shtim.
    Oh and yeah, preparing a class and nobody pitches is hard. But what’s the long face? Maybe your classes are as misguided as your very strange message, so noone is coming.
    Maybe you shouldn’t call them at eight in the morning when they didn’t pitch. Pitch it another way.
    Notice the garb changes as Rabbi gets into marathoning. Oh boy, I’m really not getting this.

    Yeah, sure. He got it from a TV.

    Or maybe he got it from Peretz Chein, shliach of Brandeis, who did the same thing three years ago and again this year. Without a cheesy clip.

  • I don-t get it

    ‘cuz people don’t show up to your shiurim you think the solution to run a MARATHON!!??

    is this based on a sicha or horoah or maaseh rav?

    Wow from a hat and jacket to baseball cap and t-shirt
    that would really inspire me to go the Rabbi’s Torah Class!!

    DUH!!

  • Wow

    To everyone thats freaking out and criticizing this video. Calm down!!!!!!! Yossi is an amazing Shliach and all hes doing is trying to encourage people in his community to come to his classes! Its just a cute way of doing it! Stop trying to find something bad in everything.
    and to “disappointed”
    “Maybe your classes are as misguided as your very strange message, so noone is coming.”
    whats wrong with you? If you dont have anything nice to say then please dont say it!

  • rk

    To all Rabbis’ that make public videos, Please remember people are watching. Remember to kiss the Mezuzah.

  • Why the negativity?

    What’s wrong with people these days? People have nothing to do with their time than to criticize everthing everyone does? Maybe those people need to be inspired themselves!You need to run a marathon or go to a Torah class…but whatever you choose………. stop being so negative!!!

  • Attn dissapointed

    Like “wow” so nicely wrote.. you just have to calm down! You’re obviously not a Shliach anywhere (probably some bored crownheightser) that doesn’t know how to be mikarev people.

    And stop talking about “pitching” so much.. you used the word too many times

    And as far as “dont get it” – I dont know about you but for a fun and entertaining Rabbi.. I would definitely go to his classes.

    Your negativity is not appreciated.

    p.s. just for the 411 – Rabbi Harlig happens to be a very succesful Shliach.!! :)

  • A Bored Crown Heightser

    I actually think this is very cute for a local community. Lighten up guys. And I’m sure Rabbi Harlig was chazering mishnayos baal peh while running!

  • Yay!

    Harligs do it again!
    I often visit Las Vegas and I really like Rabbi Harlig (the brother..) from Chabad there.
    They are a great family!
