The Rebbe in a very calm but firm tone tells him that a Jew born a Jew remains a Jew for the rest of his life and if he doesn't feel that what he is doing is wrong it is an indication that he is very ill and needs immediate treatment. At the end of the encounter the Jew requests of the Rebbe that he pray for him.
He then gives the Rebbe a pamphlet of missionary material, the Rebbe takes it and tells him thank you adding “I am taking it from you so you won't give it to someone else.” The Rebbe then takes the pamphlet and throws it down on the floor.

Rebbe Video – Once a Jew Always a Jew
In recent days there have been a number of religious forums on the internet that have posted a rare video clip of an elderly Jew who had converted to Catholicism at the age of 29 passing by the Rebbe one Sunday when he was distributing a dollar to give to charity. He treis to convince the Rebbe of the significance of Christianity.

The surfers in these forums had expressed amazement at the patients displayed by the Rebbe. These are some of the comments by the surfers:
One surfer writes: “It was amazing and fascinating to see the love and concern of the Rebbe for every Jew. Another surfer writes: This is one of the most shocking clips I have seen in my life. To see the Rebbe who is usually very merciful and forthcoming, lay down so aggressively and firmly the basic tenets of Judaism shows that when it comes to the core of Judaism and G-d he does not compromise and makes himself emphatically clear in no uncertain terms.

That’s the meaning of someone who’s brainwashed
or brainwashed himself – THAT’s what it means!
saw video
I saaw that video I think the Rebbe threw it into the bag he had next to him for the various letters but im not sure if it was on the floor
Touched
Wow, that clip is really powerful. The Rebbe makes His point so clearly and firmly yet with such love. Watching this clip only makes me appreciate even more how lucky we are to have such a Rebbe. "Ashreinu mah tov Chelkeinu!"
Inspired by our holy teacher and mentor
May we learn from the Rebbe’s example of how he tells the truth in such an aidle, non-demeaning, beautiful way–without any tolerance for kelipah. May we merit the ultimate redemption Now!!
offended
What makes all of you so perfect that you can judge this man?
EDDIE

LONG LIVE THE JEWS

There is an influx of missionaries in our neighborhood. We must do something about it. Right away. Hashem Yerachem.
Shmuli
to offended:
knowone is judging this man, on the contrary if you look at the video just one more time the Rebbe is trying to assist him.
What I like best, is the Rebbe’s choice of words, on the one hand he is speeking in a way that a missionary (who is closed-minded & brain-washed) would understand and at the same time speaking with total calm and in the way a Jew should speak.
fayga
How thatv person had the nerve to stand up in front of the rebbe i don’t know. Its mamsh chuzpa! i’ve seen vidios of the rebbe before but have never seen the rebbe so disgusted and upset at some one.
me

Asreinui ma tov chelkeinu!!!!!!!!!!!!
he
what a chutzpah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
CHer
i dont think he will come back to the rebbe after that!!!!!!
sad
Once a jew, always a jew, we understand what it means, but we need to make fellow jews who were brainwashed get it, unfortunately, most of the time, these are jews who were raised in a secular environment and they have no idea what a jew means!

Would "Offended’ be offened on behalf of christians if someone were to approach l’havdil the pope and preach judiasm or any other religion for that matter. I is inappropriate and disresprectful eo approach the leader of a religous group and preach against his religiojn.
Ashreinu sheyesh lanu Rebbe kaze!!
wow how the Rebbe was soo precise in the words and how he got the message to that guy really nicely, but what a chutzpah taht guy how he comes in front of the Rebbe like that?? crazy!!

everything that happens is hashgachah protis ovasly and i think the fact that the we see this vedio now is obviusly to teach us a lession aswell! not only the missionary guy, but that a jew is always a jew no matter how he decides to dress, act and that we should always keep this in mind!
Nachum
poor man. refuoh shleimoh to him, it’s so sad. he has a sickness not of his body but of his soul. just the thought that he is able to approach the Rebbe like that gives me chills.
to jackie
to jackie:
teh afct that someone has the nerve to stand up in front of the Rebbe (which would never happen by, lhavdil, te pope) proves the greatness of teh Rebbe, that even those "against" him coem to him.
It si known that even the man from bnei brak called on epople to advven for the Rebbe!
The Rebbe has every person in teh wrold under his wing, even those who think not!

The Rabbi, knows that the Jewish soul is a Diamond in the rough, The more your "scrub" polish it , the Brighter it will shine .
BY PLANTING POSITIVE THOUGHTS & HOLDING THEM IN YOUR MIND YOU WILL SUCCSEED. FOR OUR THOUGHTS ARE TIED TO THE INFINATE OF HASHEM… AND COME FROM HASHEM.. OUR MIND IS A GARDEN, WHAT WE PLANT IN IT IS WHAT WILL GROW:)
Where there is no LOVE , PLANT LOVE and it will grow.
Where there is no Compassion, , Plant Compassion.
Where there is Fear, Plant Hope.
Where there is sadness, Plant Joy.
Where there is failure , Plant Success.
Remember that when you put a diamond in manure, for 100 years and then take it out and wash it, It still remains a Diamond, The Essence of our Soul cannot change like the Diamond no matter what one thinks or dose in this realm.
Please remember also that Being the Chosen People is not that Were any better than any other Human Created by Hashem, it means that We Chose Hashem & have to show Hashems love towards all HUMANITY By Example..
May Hashem grant us all Wisdom to know Right From Wrong and lead our life’s with Light.
Always remember this small line :)
That The smallest matchstick, will light up the LARGEST DARKEST STADIUM:)
Where there is LIGHT Darkness cannot Dwell.
Make your own LIGHT shine to its fullest radiance :)
Peace & Love to all Humanity, Amen.

to cher:
yes once a jew allways a jew,
however it sounds like you’re saying (tell me if i’m wrong), the way people dress doesnt matter, they are still jewish , is no excuse for the way people dress in Crown Heights (and b’chlall allover), in other words “mi She’omer Echetoh v’ashuv Ein maspikin byadoy la’asos Tshuvah” , and it’s very possible we’re not arguing, what we laern out is “a jew is a jew”, but WHY IS CH TURNING INTO FIVE TOWNS ???
