Besides putting on Teffilin with one missionary, a number of people heckled the group, asking them to leave our neighborhood. Others engaged them in debate.

    The same freedom that allows chabad shluchim to spread chassidus on the street, allows lahvdil for Jews for J to spread their stuff on the street.

  • hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

    did anyone else find it interesting that this missionary was given a Yechi kippah to wear, hmmm one missionary to the next

  • To # 1:

    Yup, and in some places the people come out and fight.
    They try to rid the Rebbes Shiluchim from there midst.

    So to we can do it.

    The only dif is that we have G-D and the Rebbe on our side.

  • to number 1

    the problem is that jews spread judiasm to jews who are not familiar with it. these ppl are trying to get others (non-christians) as well. they have the right to do as they wish but it shouldnt be compared to shluchim because they have two different mind sets.

  • to comment 1

    you obviously dont have much of a clue what chabad does, or what j for j does. they are totally opposite in the oifen of “spreading the word”. even ppl in the street realise and know the difference. go do ur homework.

  • i want more!

    do u guys have anymore?
    its pretty interesting to watch and see the differently educated debate.
    please put up some more!
    thanks:)

    you can tell from his reaction to putting on tefiin that the fat guy isn’t jewish.he registers no emotion, no feeling. jews who put on tefillin show some reaction however subtle

  • sam

    A) no one should be putting tfillin on them and B) why dont people in CH give them a real chelek in an alley way and this way they will be scared to come back. I know most of u who reply will focus on “we should put tfillin on them” blah blah. give them chelek like our neighbors in willi would do and maybe we will stop being the laughing stock of the frumeh velt. lechaim

    Mr. Freedom…

    Chabad does not try and trick people into things. They ask “Are you Jewish?” “No?” – “Have a nice day!”

    These guys have “J-s” written on their shirts but most missionaries deceive people and use Jewish symbols to appear Jewish and then sell the “J-junk”

    It would be one thing if they came to share their message. It’s another thing when they come to lie and trick people.

    They should be introduced to my right foot, and its close friend, my right hook. That’s called having the right attitude to missionaries.

  • Chassidim of the Rebbe are Unbelievable!

    The Chassidim are incredible! It is the epitomy of Ahavat Yisrael. In one way, a Chassid fights with all his life for Torah tru Yiddishkeit against “minim”. At the same exact time, the Chassid shows a pure and unconditional love for a misguided Yid by putting tefillin and teaching the Shema! This is incredible. The Rebbe is so proud, and the Aibeshter should bless Am Yisrael and bring Moshiach now dafka for this act! Amazing!

    whilst the intentions may be perfect – firstly. who says he is a real jew?

    Second, Im just worried that these photos and images may be used incorrectly to persuade other jews to follow them.

  • Jabadnik for Jabad....

    interesting to note the similarity between what it says on that guys shirt and what it says on his kippah….

    I know the guy, but I can only tell you that his last name is a classical Jewish last name. Don’t know his mom, though.
