1. would be more effective without photos of the Rebbe
Bill ,   Los Angeles, CA   (12.05.15)
The 7 Laws of Noah are a tenet of Islam as well which sees itself as an off-shoot of Judaism. The Koran also states that God gave the land of Israel to the Jewish people. But posting pictures of a Hassidic Rabbi of Eastern European descent is not the most effective way to win the hearts of Arabs & comes off as condescending.
2. Chabadnikim please don't do this
(12.04.15)
it's not a good idea. someone could get hurt.
3. Arabs in Israel except for Gaza Good Conditions
Zechariah   (12.07.15)
Except for Arabs in Gaza who if Humanitarian Moderate ought have part of coastal Sinai at least to live and work there ,Arabs in Israel are better off than many places on earth except possiblythe Black Forests area of Deutsland or Munich and Bavaria because of the post war Marshall Plan .
4. Is this for real? Sounds like trouble...
Shep ,   Memphis, TN - USA   (12.07.15)
Don't get me wrong. I really like the local Chabad House in Memphis...but going into the Arab part of East Jerusalum to sell them on Mitzvoth? Whatever...
5. Problematic punctuation!
UR   (12.09.15)
As it stands, the wording seems to suggest that one must deny that God engages in incest. Please add a comma!

The people running this campaign are "Meshichistim"-- Chabad Messianists, whether the Rebbe was Eastern European or not is not an issue. As far as they are concerned, he's the Messiah --that's it! And many in their ranks are in fact Sephardic and Mizrachi Jews. They believe that they have to publicize the "fact" that the late Rebbe is the Moshiach to anyone and everyone, whether they listen or don't listen, Ashkenazic, Sephardic, Orthodox, Reform, Jew, non-Jew -- they don't care. They're fanatics and logic doesn't matter.
