JB ,   Tel Aviv   (04.01.09)
the only real difference is that with the amish, Jesus is their saviour but with the lubavitchers, the Rebbe is their saviour. lets be honest here....

7. amish
fish t-a   (04.01.09)
Even if Amish way of life looks strange, they seem to be hard-working people, who respect the laws, they are peaceful, and I woudn't mind to have them as neighbours - they won't steal, they won't break the law.

17. My part of Ohio has a very large Amish
Joe ,   Ohio, USA   (04.01.09)
community. Everybody I know who has had the contact with them that I have, share the same opinion I do. They are hard working, honest people that truly do care about their fellow man. I do believe that the Amish who visited New York were from the same town of which the event occurred in the posted link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amish_school_shooting Say what you want about the Amish, but they, do deserve your respect for being the true religion of peace that other religions CLAIM. Those of you trashing them ought to be absolutely ashamed of yourself. Please read the ENTIRE article. In short educate yourself about someone else like you demand other people do when they say something offense about you and you cry anti semitism!
18. MANY CHABAD DO THE ARMY
U DUMBASS ,   CANADA   (04.01.09)
MANY CHABADNICKS GO TO THE ARMY. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ARTICLE, ARE YOU SUGGESTING THE AMISH GO TO THE US MILITARY?
19. To # 9
Anna ,   Be'er Sheva, Israel   (04.01.09)
So who's the right savior? Enlighten me :)))
20. when i went to lancaster county it was full of satmar
david ,   new york   (04.02.09)
it seemed like all the tourists visting lancaster county were satmar. they seemed to have made an organized trip of it and they asked lots of questions on the tour of the farmhouse and were very interested. i think it would have been more apropriate for the amish to visit williamsburg instead of crown heights. the satmar have more in common. most lubavitichers speak primarily english and are quite americanized. satmar speak yiddish and live much further apart from the american culture

22. @19 :-)
ben ,   singapore   (04.02.09)
The Lrd G-d of Yisarel- Hashem- Adokim :-) My Lrd G-d , My Master, My Father,My King, The Friend of Avraham. The mighty hand that broung my gneration s of family out of Egypt, The Creator of Everyting seen and unseen, The one and only with the Divin Attributes of 13 : -) The Lrd of salvation and Liberation, the Lrd of the Shabbat- Pesach, you he has so many names,Just address him as Hashem. It is not the Amish or the chabadnicks, masorti, etc. But all these idiots have a place in my heart, there is no need to to hate them or to follow them . We have the Torah- cross over come this side to the Tent of Jacob- Hous eof Yisrael. cheers ben singapore
23. I'll tell #17 why Amish have a truly peaceful religion
Genuine Tosefta ,   Tveria   (04.02.09)
It is because they can afford it since they are surrounded by 300 million peaceful citizens who have the strongest military in the world that goes to wars and protects all of them from enemies. When Jews of Israel are surrounded by 300 million crazy Arb Jihadis with another 1 billion co-religionist supporters, all sworn to destroy the tiny Jewish State and slaughter all Jews and act on it every single day, then there is no choice left for Jews but to fight back in order to survive.
24. 17...
truth   (04.02.09)
you are just as guilty as they are in your unattractive stereo-typing. They, who sling mud, and you are equally unattractive and foolish. The Amish are entitled to their belief system as are the Haseds.
25.  Amish - Mormons
ben ,   singapore   (04.02.09)
the Amish go about their lives quietly causing no bother to anyone. the Mormons thrust their religion down everybody's throat just like the xtians :-)
26. #3&6; What a couple of evil jerks!
Haters are idiots   (04.02.09)
You hate both of these good moral hard-working people because you jerks are evil bad losers.
27. Awww, well, ain't that the sweetest thing u ever did saw?
(04.02.09)
28. r you sure
ghostq   (04.02.09)

29. Quaker meets Quaker (Hebrew khareidi)
(04.02.09)
30. Amish run horrible Puppy Mills
julie ,   lewisburg, wv USA   (04.02.09)
Everyone knows the amish own most of the horrid puppy mills in lancaster county, pa. These dogs live in horrible conditions and are sold to pet stores. The amish are NOT kind and compassionate people, they exploit animals for profit.
