Yes, Chabad-Lubavitch is a Hasidic group that has a very large outreach movement, where they try to bring in Jews who may have fallen away or just aren’t familiar with their faith. They have Chabad houses (like the one mentioned above) in nearly every country, even if there are little to no Jews who live in that country.
I’m sure someone else could answer that question better than I could, but that’s what I got.
Great organization. Rabbi Eckstein is a righteous man.
I think a billion indians are angry very angry. Heard demonstrations are already started.
RIP.
its Obama time.
Thank you Jewish libs.
yes
I’m guessing the Rabbi was part of the large Lubavitch sect of Hassidic Jews from the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn.
The Hassidic Jews are one of the few good things left from old New York City.
Thanks for the photo. A beautiful couple. I was afraid this would happen. Typically these terrorists would rather die than miss the opportunity to kill Jews, who in this case they had obviously targeted. They probably didn’t even wait for the commando raid.
Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!
That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!
For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
—Job 19:23-27
I am strengthened by that verseshalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach Adonai
in Job, the oldest book in the Tanach.It describes Yah'shua
“GOD may not, but I’m SURE that Mossad is looking in to it.
“Vengeance is Mine. I will repay,” says the Lord. (Rom. 12:19)
Got to subtract the Muslims and the Libtards from that number. The Muslims are quietly savoring the "jihad" even if they say otherwise in public. The Libtards, zillions of them everywhere, are already wailing about all that "we" did to deserve it, blaming Bush, wondering how to grovel better before the jihad onslaught, etc. We had a preview of this here in the states with the loathsome, imbecilic remarks of Deepak Chopra on CNN.
I'm sure that hundreds of millions of Indians are very angry, but not all.... far from all.
It was only a matter of time before the muzzies pished off a non-Western people who aren't burdened down with PC guilt. Well, Communist China is cracking down on them too, but they're Commies, and Commies always get away with stuff other people can't.
I am convinced that Deepak Chopra is an idiot after hearing him on CNN.
How can anyone follow this ridiculous charlatan?
“They probably didn’t even wait for the commando raid.”
The nanny (I had also heard “cook” - probably the same person) that got their child out had said that the mom and dad were “unconcious”. Seeing as how all the other places were just shot up quite quickly I imagine that was the case here as well.
Already on the news I have seen the hand-wringing of reporters “The commando raid seems to put the hostages in more danger...”, etc.
Unbelievably, a BBC program on my local NPR station did about 15 minutes how response to these sorts of attacks ‘alienates’ Muslim youth in India.
My sympathies to you, Alouette, and to all observant Jews all over the world who have been hit by this awful tragedy.
Be strong; be resolute.
That is just nonsense. These terrorists were shooting people first and thinking second. They expected to die. They shot the guy who brought them water at the hospital, and they have shot people randomly all over the place.
The commandos did the right thing. It’s just a terrible thing that happened—and frankly that has been happening, more often than not, ever since Mohammed started teaching his followers how to be conquering bullies.
