I tweeted at him to chime in and he saw it. Feel free to reply there.

Not taking this conversation to Twitter.

Besides, everything is clear and unequivocal to me (and this thread/discussion actually gave me some speculative thoughts as to why the Rebbe responded the way he did).
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

While I have a post formulated in my mind, I thought I would try the @YitzyS and get ChatGPT to write it for me. So far, results have been horrendous. I might have to try a different approach so that ChatGPT actually writes something based on fact.

Maybe if you relied on ai to write things instead of right every perceived wrong, you might get better results

How is this even possible? @Rafi didn't even study for the final. Not that they give you grades or anything like that.
And I already took him on an alternate trip  :P
And they wait until 5 days out to tell people?  ::)

Maybe they thought Rafi's trip was just training for the real big league event

They finally opened an A"K Whatsapp group and boy did people let them have it...
Kudos to them for not changing to admin only and appearing to listen to grievances.

Recently met chabad friend of mine who went to school with me which got me to realize this:
When I was growing up in a certain oot community in US most Chabad families sent their kids to community school until around 2003 they all moved over to local Chabad school.
Did this happen anywhere else? Does anybody know the reason for this?
Any ddfers who switched over to chabad from comunity school?

Kids of all ages changed schools in 2003 or just the kids in your class? Was there a Chabad school prior to 2003?

Sounds like something happened in that that community in 2002.

Bard.Google.com
is Shorter and more to the Point:


“No, the Rebbe did not support an eruv in Crown Heights. He believed that an eruv would lead to people carrying on Shabbat, which is a violation of Jewish law. He also believed that an eruv would make people less observant of Shabbat.

However, the Rebbe did support the establishment of eruvs in other cities. He believed that an eruv could be a way to help people who were not observant of Shabbat to become more observant. He also believed that an eruv could be a way to help people who were observant of Shabbat to become more comfortable with living in a non-Jewish environment.”

No Citations though.
