Are you serious? You know thats not how a Lubavitcher is defined. You can have a beard and not be Lubavitch or you can have a yetzer hara and cut your beard and still be lubavitch.
Are you people going to seriously bring up the beard thing again? Do you realize how many lives are improved and how much shlichus gets done as a result of Mr Schottensteins work? I have never seen an individual so willing to give like there is no tomorrow. Much blessing to him and his family!
so impressive, much success in all work!
Duchman and Shusterman have beards. BTW ,do they offer a Kosher option for the fresh diet?
“Ess iz shoin tzait az Lubavitch zohl hubben eigeneh gvirim.”
I believe the Rebbe said this about Yossel Gutnick.
Much success to the Lubies, and it should all be k’halacha with much success.
who owns ElJet??
