From 770 we're marching out...

News and history behind the annual "Gathering of the Emissaries" of Chabad-Lubavitch chassidic rabbis in Brooklyn.

Alternatively.... "So, 5000 rabbis walk into a bar...."

In light of the article written about a declining trend in American Jewish observance, I present the guarantors of world Jewry.

All Jews are "unofficial" emissaries to the world. We have customs and laws given by G-d that purposely make us stand out as a reminder of G-d's presence in the world. By living his or her life as a Jew, he tells the world that we are accountable to G-d and that Jew and non-Jew have objective responsibilities within His creation.

These rabbis live their entire lives on "mission," as it were, building observant Jewish communities out of whole formerly unaffiliated areas.

Empire? Ha.

Chabad does more, with ... not much. :)

(after the sun has set everywhere else and) all the Jewish women around the globe have said their blessings, said Rabbi Berkowitz, “God and the Jewish people are still waiting for you, the last Jewish girl in the world, to light the Shabbos candles.”

Wow.

While Deformed ‘jews’ are intermarrying, turning gay, having abortions, and fueling the evil Democrats, Chabadniks are having 7 kids a piece, inspiring wayward Jews back to the fold, and supporting Republicans. Chabad is the future of American Jewry.

You can watch the banquet live on the internet on Sunday night at http://www.kinus.com/templates/kinus/default.htm. I was there a few years ago as the guest of my rabbi and it truly is a life-changing experience. Since then I have caught the banquet on the internet every year.

A Jewish woman married an Inupiat? Brrrr!! I hope she likes cold weather most of the time and the REALLY big mosquitoes the 2 days of summer they have. I wonder if those mosquitoes can be captured and fricasseed?

I thought Jewish women were encouraged to marry Jews. You'd think.... Maybe I'm wrong.

Unfortunately, it looks as if such threads as you tried to start with this article must be caucused in order to prevent a mass-invasion of chrstians who remain as arrogantly and groundlessly convinced that their religion is the teleological end of Judaism as their predecessors ever did.
