EVERYBODY IN THIS COMMUNITY NEEDS TO GET A LIFE AND A JOB AND STOP ACTING SOOOO BORED!!!!!!!!!!
MOSHIACH NOW

a bissel understanding
September 25, 2009 7:01 pm

The Rebbe was not a posek
If the Rebbe said, alluded something about someone, it was with the intention to awake him and bring him to do teshuva, no to punish a Jew
gUESS, what the Rebbe would say about us after reading these comments!

BUNCH OF NUTS!
September 25, 2009 12:29 am

BOTTOM LINE IF WE HAD MORE PEOPLE LIKE R. FISHER CROWN HEIGHTS WOULD BE BETTER OFF. HES A PERSON WHO REALLY CARES. IF THE COMMUNITY DIDNT FIGHT 20 YEARS AGO ALL OUR KOLLEL YUNGELIGHT WOULD HAVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING, THESE GUYS FOUGH FOR THEIR PERSONAL GAIN. SO STOP THE BS. HOPEFULLY PEOPLE WILL THANK HIM FOR HIS KINDNESS, PERHPAS HE WILL HELP WITH THE TUTION CRISIS. YASHER KOACH !!!

of all the ignorant comments yours is the winner. That is the stupidest conclusion in the world. when the beis din does something silly the rebbe not undoing it doesn’t in anyway show that he agrees with their logic, it just means that unfortunantly the inmates have taken over the assylum

September 23, 2009 10:58 pm

So why when Fisher went ruinning to the Rebbe after they put him in CHerem di hte Rebbe say that its up to Beis DIn?!

it does not smell good...
September 23, 2009 9:37 pm

you give $6,000 for tzdoko – it’s really big amount, but why is goes public? I am sure that this person with his level of income gives millions for tzdoko, so why suddenly such a big noise? would you do this bro?

What about Miami, FL?
September 23, 2009 5:14 pm

How about sending some subsidized chicken to South Florida? We are paying $22 per chicken!!!

reduce food costs NOW!
September 23, 2009 10:05 am

Go to any Kosher butcher to buy a chicken to eat. I WISH it only costs $4.

Definition of "Magic"
September 23, 2009 7:46 am

any art that invokes supernatural powers. There is nothing “natural” about the Rebbe’s abilities in moifsim stories, so in English that is called magic. Do you like paranormal better? I can just imagine how you would react to the definition of Yechi… But that’s whole other story, and beside the point, the Rebbe didn’t put Reb Dovid in cherem, the rabbonim did, and they certainly could have been tricked, and they were. Because someone who does so much for a Jewish community, who’s osek btzorchei tzibbur b`emunah, should be loved and respected, not treated with contempt and cherems, at least… Read more »

you know what they say?
September 23, 2009 3:05 am

“zol zain ah KAPORO”!

BY US CHICKENS RANGE FROM TEN TO TWENTY SIX DOLLARS. BE A MENTSCH AND DONT COMPLAIN ABOUT A CHICKEN FOR FOUR STINKIN DOLLARS. PLEASE.

Naive people
September 23, 2009 1:50 am

The Rebbe NEVER spoke ill of another Jew. He certainly did not agree with putting him in cheirim.

SHIMSHON STOCK LOVED FISHER.
September 23, 2009 1:20 am

why? cause when a poor widow needed help fisher was there.

if a big family needed money for yom tov he went to fisher.

fisher helped float chevra shimcha up until today. right benji? on and on.

carroll street got cheap private homes for almost nothing. right rabbi shem tov?

president st and utica wouldn,t look the way it does if not for fisher actually risking jail time so jews could live at 1650 president. right rabbi groner?

so what are you talking about folks?

wake up
September 23, 2009 12:33 am

Its all his fault. If it wasnt for Fischer we wouldnt have a tznius problem in Crown Heights. As a matter of fact its all his fault.

I'm #25
September 23, 2009 12:04 am

I’m still waiting. Tell me what the Rebbe said.

The rebbe is wrong?!
September 22, 2009 11:28 pm

The rebbe is wrong?! Posting such comments is the only thing lower than posting the article about Fischer in the first place!

to#46
September 22, 2009 11:22 pm

we as chassidim dont call it magic as u so retardedly did but yes the rebbe did know and does know just b/c u dont understand doesnt mean its magic b/c then what r u going to do with all the moifsim stories r they magic? luck? obviously the rebbe knows dont advertise ur kefira

Fisher
September 22, 2009 11:12 pm

For his decade of work on the Fischer case, Israel Weinstock has made about $500,000 from his share of the buildings he has won back for his clients in court. To date, David Fischer has not paid any settlements, and many of those suing him complain that he continues to pay his lawyers with rent money from the buildings they are fighting over.

YOU ARE FORGETTING THE WHOLE POINT OF KAPORES

The whole idea of kapores is not chickens or turkeys, it’s

Rabbi Dovid Fisher was railroaded
September 22, 2009 10:11 pm

Whatever DF did or didn’t do wrong, he Rebbe and the community were repeatedly given very faulty information about DF’s activities. I’ve seen a letter from DF begging, crawling, to the Rebbe to help clear his name. And for people who think the Rebbe magically knew the truth about every situation, watch the video recently posted of that long-ago tashlich, how people who had changed their hats had to bring “eidis” that they had gone to the tashlich and deserved to get a l’chaim. The people behind DF’s ouster made a lot of money on that. DF has done for… Read more »

September 22, 2009 7:44 pm

why dont we talk about love instead of hate. why are we harper on a dispute that happened 20 yrs ago. second he is a man that has chasidesh qualities, hes a talmid chachom and a yiras shmoayim. he is a man that does chesed for people and helps the community. he is a good person. people grow up and give praise where priase is due. perhaps if people would show the proper repect to reb dovid, he would help with the tutition crisis as well. let just all grow up. love is more powerful than hate….

Misnaged
September 22, 2009 7:30 pm

Better to use 18 cents for kaporos, than all this loshon haorah against an individual and a community. I never know who Fischer was (except the chess player) before today.

crazy world
September 22, 2009 7:17 pm

Well, it seems that only #32 accepted the challenge to say what the Rebbe actually said to/about Dovid Fischer. And I don’t see anything so bad. Funny how as soon as anyone asks these mavanim to quote they suddenly stop talking. I’m open-minded. If there is anything, I’m listening. i just had the same conversation with my son, also a maven on everything the Rebbe said. Halavai he really does know everything he’d be a star, an illuy. He may be my son but he’s just as brainwashed as every other kid round here. He wasn’t even born when all… Read more »

September 22, 2009 6:08 pm

thats right. If a person is doing bad anything you do to validate this person is wrong. the problem is people who learn chassidus and gemoroh should know how to behave.

why didnt Guliani take the money from the Saudi Prince??? after all it was tzedokoh for New York.

Because Guliani understands what Chassidim who are supposed to be chachomim dont understand.

When you take money from a bad man and you publicly acknowledge and thank him you are minimizing the terrible deeds he does.

You dont take money from bad people period. Goyim undertand that.

u must really like that its after gimel tomuz
to say the rebbe never spoke about him?
its printed and 1000s of ppl heard it live
but whatever works 4 u buddy
ps find out about the mikva -he wanted to run it and the rebbe told rabbi dvorkin to only let the women run it

you think you can join now and say what the rebbe said or did not say

i cry from the fact that i might have to raise my children in a community full of idiots honestly does anyone have a brain!!!!!! i dont think politically induced cheirim is cheirim and if fisher is sooooooo bad then sweethearts all of you darlings living in his section 8 buildings its worse then buy a darn chicken for $4…. get over yourselves

Rebbe's Chasid
September 22, 2009 5:32 pm

The Rebbe publicly said by Fabrengen and wrote to Rabbi Zirkind, “Whoever can claim the Rebbe spoke about a specific person is fighting the Rebbe and all previous Chabad Rebbes.” We agree to #25 The Rebbe never spoke about Rabbi Fischer and never mentioned his name. Stop using the Rebbe for these quotes. Prove the Rebbe ever mentioned Rabbi Fischer name shame on you for misinterpreting the Rebbe’s words. The Rebbe was never against him. Lets see what Rabbi Fischer accomplished Rabbi Fischer built the only womens mikvah in Crown Heights that all of Lubavitcher women use and has never… Read more »

September 22, 2009 5:24 pm

the sign is still up
he is in Cherem
and whatever you might say about him on this blog means nothing
go read “tzadik lamelech” and see what the rebbe said about him.
harsh words
so say what you will if the rebbe is “nitzchi” then the rebbe is “nitzchi” no if,and or butts

let him Subsidize the apt now in crown heights!! he takes the most rent from anyone in CH he picks it up as much as he can because he knows everyone will pay!! he charges too much for the young kollel and hard working yungeleit in this community!! its about time he gives the people making him rich a break!!

you are not supporting fisher!!!
September 22, 2009 4:48 pm

you are supporting a CH Moised!! If fisher gives them $ so be it….. he gives lots of ppl money lots of moisdim lots of chabad houses and we walk into all of them etc etc……

Why the fuss?
September 22, 2009 4:39 pm

Hecht has reduced price kapparos for years. What’s the news? That Fisher threw in a few dollars?

people, know your facts, the cherem was removed by the CH Bais Din
enough spreading lies

before Yom Kippur???
September 22, 2009 4:23 pm

to all those who say its before Yom Kippur and therefore…. Therefore, nachpeso derochainu How can we be bribed by money or any other reason when the Rebbe himself had not such good words to say. and takeh all those that are in cherem , Krinsky Shemtov Osdoba the whole lot of them, has Yiddishkeit become a joke???? YES it has and u know why??? Because no one respects what a Bais Din determined and no one cares to settle things anymore like Jews should. this is what the adults Rabbonim and mashpim should consider before Yom Kippur.

What did the Rebbe ACTUALLY say?
September 22, 2009 4:12 pm

I agree with #9 too. And pardon my ignorance, but instead of pointing me in any direction, I challenge you to actually quote the Rebbe here, on this page, what the Rebbe said negeiah Dovid Fischer. I want to see it in black & white. If you are 100% sure the Rebbe spoke against Rabbi Fischer (#18 said screamed???!) then QUOTE IT HERE!! I am not a Fischer Fan, but what’s right is right & he’s helping large families today, like he helped large families 35+ years ago. So he got rich. And Drizin isn’t making a fortune?

Thats why crown heights is the way is is today no one cares anymore, teen, parents and people who call them self chasidim

This is very nice, but...
September 22, 2009 3:29 pm

Don’t forget who fisher is and where he got lots of his money, yes he did do a lot of nice things, but it was, allegedly, with other peoples money, which is what led to him being called to beis din and becoming a musurav ledin when he did not cooperate.

Fisher wrote to the igros kodesh
September 22, 2009 3:19 pm

Everything has been worked out.

September 22, 2009 2:40 pm

there is no mitzva to buy a chicken for every family member for kapporos u can use one for all the males and one for all the females instead you can give the money to real poor peop;e in the community!

how fast we 4ger
September 22, 2009 2:37 pm

i was by the fabrangens
read up on what the rebbe said about david fisher!
do we think after 20 years the rebbes words a just words?
read the sicha(S) and tell me when the rebbe spoke like that about any1…………..
so maybe u might be better off with fisher but the rebbe did not think so

Rabbi Fischer
September 22, 2009 2:35 pm

The ONLY problem NOW with Rabbi Fischer is that he personaly davens VERY LOUD in his Shul (and mixes people up) – so some people don’t go there.

Besids the fact that ONE TABLE of Mispallelim don’t stop talking during davening.

September 22, 2009 2:32 pm

If Fisher is in Cherem – then don’t forget that so is Rabbi Osdoba (issued by Agudas Harabonim)!
(As far as Rabbi Marlow AH – upon his own request, his Cherem was lifted before his passing) .

I agree with # 9

There are going to be many comments regarding “Fisher” what I would like to add. Is that it is over 20 years that Fisher was removed from leadership in Crown Heights. And my request to you is to think back when we were better off? When he was here, we had apartments, housing, and peace and tranquility. We now have a bunch of people who only have a personal agenda. The Badatz self destructed, as it never really did have a true and real foundation, it was only created by the rich to kick out fisher. The facts are. That… Read more »
