Everyone is welcome at Chabad, from Satmar to secular, and every shade in between.

4. #2 & #3 - Hey morons....
andy ,   ramat hasharon   (12.05.08)
how about thank you for your kind sentiments, Mr. President elect? Or would that actually make you look too much like people who appreciate something kind?
5. I feel bad....Now give up J'lem and 1/2 Israel or else!

happy is the people that know the joyful note,they shall walk,jesus,in the light of your countenance (tehilim 89:16) for jesus will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being caught (mishlei 3:26) jesus will guard you from all evil (tehilim 121:7) can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? says jesus (yirmeyah 23:24) now there was a day when the sons of elohim came to present themselves before jesus,and the adversary came also among them (lyov 1:6) and it happened one day,that jesus came there (melachim 4:11) and all the hosts of heaven standing by jesus on his right hand and on his left (melachim 22:19) jesus put an end to darkness,and searches out all perfection (lyov 28:3) jesus reveals the deep and secret things (daniel 2:22) as jesus sat in the tent door (beresheet 18:1) and in Jesusalen everyone speaks of jesus´glory (tehilim 29:9) all nations before jesus are as nothing,and they are counted to jesus less than nothing,and vanity (yeshayah 40:17) in this kingdom,you shall know that I am jesus (shemot 7:17) for jesus´portion is his people,yaákov is the lot of his inheritance (devarim 32:9).
7. Pres-Elect Obama's kind words
Zvi   (12.06.08)
We should also welcome Pres. Bush's condolences, and those of many other people, and especially those of Indians, who deserve our condolences and sympathy in return. This was a sympathetic gesture. Barack Obama was not required to make it - very few world leaders have sent condolences to Chabad, and nobody would have noticed had Obama been silent. But he made this guesture anyway. This is a kind deed. It is also a signal to terrorists around the world. And Obama is also leading by example. When our people are murdered, some leaders ignore it, some celebrate, and some speak out against it. Please accept Barack Obama's condolences graciously (as Chabad has done). Put your energy and creativity into mitzvot and into thwarting future terrorist attacks instead of wasting your energy on attacking Barack Obama.
8. To #6 DO WHAT?
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (12.06.08)
9. #4 Who's the moron?
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (12.06.08)
....the one who is still imbecile enough to be easily bought and impressed with empty words, or the one who demands deeds? We are sick and tired of "thankyous" and "support" from the Dems. When the $hit hits the fan, they will always "support" you with words and 'compassion", but will never take any significant political stance. For a start, US has not recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. There are some other more important issues the US will not DO to support Israel. If words please you then keep on licking @$$ and get nice "thankyous" and let us "morons" demand ACTION not only cheap WORDS. Look in the mirror and see who the moron is!
10. #6 huh?
AY_Lamb ,   USA   (12.06.08)
Are you really GWB using a pseudonym. Happy Jesus day to you Mr. POTUS George you have taken Avoda Zara the next level - great job
11. Obama: Then why don't you ask to adopt Moshe Holtzberg?
(12.06.08)
12. Obama: Moshe Holtzberg is in a Chabad orphanage because
(12.06.08)
he holier than thou grandparents (both sets) are too lazy to want a child in their homes. What a stupid religion. They help others but do not take care of their own. That is called "denying the faith" and leads to hell. "If any provide not for his own, he has denied the faith and is WORSE than an unbeliever". OH! I SEE. Putting the child in an orphanage is providing for one's own. Sure. Maybe according to Chabadnicks.
13. to 6
Hans-Jörg Marby ,   Markdorf, Germany   (12.06.08)
Which Jesus are you on about? Certainly not the one who was borne about 2000 years ago. Yirmeyahu 23:23-25 reads:"Am I a GOD near at hand, says the LORD, and not a GOD afar off? Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? says the LORD. Do not I fill haeven and earth? says the LORD."
14. to #12.... are you insane?
sara ,   israel   (12.06.08)
where in god's name did you get that ridiculous information from?! i'm not even going to begin trying to tell you about the tzadikim grandparents because i do not want to waste my breath, but for the rest of you, check your facts before you listen to people who don't know what they're talking about. moshe holtzberg has 2 wonderful sets of willing and able grandparents, aunts and uncles - pillars of the chabad community, and don't forget sandra the indian babysitter who chabad brought over to make him feel more at home, this is one child that we don't have to worry about .
16. JESUSALEN
cristian ,   bs as arg   (12.07.08)
jesus is the light into darkness because the truth is all around lies because of that mashiaj is like the moon shines in the huge dark universe.Hashem created humans being with two eyes,two hands and two ears and only one mouth to see,to do and to hear more than we speak and Hashem created humans being with ten fingers in our hands to remember the ten commandments before to do something.
17. Time for action
Yohanan   (12.07.08)
- lip service period is over. time for action. Let us see what you will do about it, other than declarations and slogans.
18. JESUSALEN
cristian ,   bs as arg   (12.07.08)
jesus,blessed be he, gathers his whole retinue,and says to them go and listen to the account of my excellency that my children are relating,rejoice in my redemption,at that time,they all gather and come and join with yisrael to hear the story of the praise,they rejoice with the joy of deliverance by their rabbi and come to thank and praise jesus,blessed be he,for all these miracles and mighty deeds,and thank jesus for the holy nation that jesus has on earth that rejoices in the joy of the deliverance of their rabbi jesus,blessed be he,and his glory rises over them above and below.
19. #17 GWB and the Republican party are
AY_Lamb ,   USA   (12.07.08)
the penultimate master's of sloganeering, if they need a little panache they just demand material from their faithful underlings at the RJC. Please look at the post from 6,16, and 18 you can see that GWB himself has a depth of fictitious imaginings to draw from. What a guy is (GWB) and what a great American; there is really no way Pres. Elect could do worse even if he tried.
21. 20#, why do you not put your name and country?
Judah ,   Golan Heights,ISRAEL   (12.08.08)
22. #20- what evil and disgusting vitriol!
L ,   Elad, Israel   (12.08.08)
23. 22...A bit dog barks, eh?
